Summary: Poor Job Mixing Music with Vocals...
Comment: As a record store owner for over twenty years and being a fan of the group, owning their first three studio lps on vinyl records, I have to say that Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings is a very disappointing piece of work.
The music does not mix well with the vocals. I also picked up on some lines of lyrics that I have heard in some of their other songs from other albums, not saying that's a bad thing, but one would expect some parallel relationship if one chose to do that.
... also, I saw them live in Washington State with the Goo Goo Dolls and all Adam could do was preach to the crowd about how bad the current administration is and the need for everyone in the crowd to go register so they could vote for the democrat party! Adam talked every song instead of singing them...
It was a poor concert.
I hope one day they get hungry again and meet or go beyond that first album of August and Everything After, which in my opinion should have won a Grammy.
Still a fan, just somewhat disappointed!

Summary: Good, but...
Comment: Good enough, but nothing special...I was hoping for more "feeling" in the tracks. Still, all in all, not a bad listen.
Customer Rating:
Summary: multi-faceted
Comment: a vibrant sonic wonderland that features strong songwriting and powerful energy from a band that has taken years to develop their magical formula on the stage. This one evokes vivid images of the multiple lives of Adam, and gang, while we as listeners are able to correlate the songs to our own lives. The music proves stimulating, motivating and ultimately cathartic in the sinuous creative struggle that this fantastic band has nearly perfected.
This work is substantial and fulfilling.

Summary: Disappointing return of Counting Crows
Comment: You can say many things about Adam Duritz and his band Counting Crows, but one thing we can say for sure is that they never rush things and take their time in between studio albums. Indeed, this album is only the 4th studio album since the 1993 debut smash album "August and Everything After", and it's been 6 years since the previous album, the surprisingly strong "Hard Candy".
"Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings" (14 tracks; 60 min.) brings 2 mini-sets onto one album: the more forceful and urgent Saturday-themed tracks 1 through 6; and the more pensive and quiet Sunday-themed tracks 7 thought 14. I have several issues with this album: (i) there is no stand-out attention-grabbing song on here: where is the "Hanginaround" or "American Girls" of this album? I can't find one; (ii) several of the songs are overly wordy (see, for example, "Cowboys" and "Le Ballet d'Or"); (iii) the mellow second half of the album goes on way too long; cutting out a couple of songs would have improved the flow of the album greatly; and (iv) last but certainly not least, I am sick and tired hearing Duritz tells us how hard and difficult his life truly is (actually: still is, as he's been writing about this for the last 10 years now), give it a break already!
In all, I was quite disappointed with "Saturday Nights & Sunday Mornings", which is not nearly as strong as "Hard Candy" was. I saw Counting Crows again in concert last summer, and live they remain a very solid act. While they are coming back to this area later this summer, I doubt that I will go again, as I simply don't find most of the "Saturday/Sunday" songs all that compelling.
