About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

For their second album, Recovering the Satellites, Counting Crows crafted a self-consciously challenging response to their unexpected success. Throughout the record, Adam Duritz contemplates his loss of privacy and sudden change of fortunes, among other angst-ridden subjects. In one sense, it's no different from the subjects that dominated August and Everything After, yet his outlook is lacking the muted joy that made "Mr. Jones" into a hit. Similarly, the music is slightly more somber, yet the approach is harder and more direct, which gives even the ballads a more affecting, visceral feel. Recovering the Satellites occasionally bogs down in its own pretentiousness -- for a roots rock band, the group certainly has a lot of artsy goals -- yet when they scale back their ambitions to simple folk-rock, such as on the single "A Long December," they are at their most articulate. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

May 08, 2005: I LOVE IT. This album is one of their best work. You can always count of the Crows to deliver the goods. Soulful lyrics, beautiful melodies, and full of emotion vocals you can’t go wrong with this album.

December 06, 2003: First off, when i first listened to this cd, it was my least favorite of the Crows'. Since then, it has grown to be my favorite. Songs like "I'm not sleeping" have really helped me out when i'm down. Other songs are just great to lay down and sing along with Adam. I have to grown to find every single song on this cd a beautiful well-crafted work of art. I believe you would, too.
