Album: Counting Crows, Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings (Geffen)
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.In many ways, Counting Crows suffer from a Stateside version of the Supergrass syndrome.
Following a 1994 debut album that sold over seven million copies was never going to be easy, but here they still are, on album five, earnestly and heartfeltly channelling Van Morrison for the "whatever" generation. The Crows have, though, attempted here to add something new to the mix: a "rock out" side one followed by a more-familiar acoustic-based side two (Saturday nights and Sunday mornings, get it?). It all gets a bit U2 meets REM, but there are, at least, enough chunky choruses to keep the customers satisfied.
