Negative Positive
Title: one star for two good songs
Review: I have been a strong supporter of the Crowes since the debut album. The following releases were not quite as strong throughout, but genius nonetheless. Chris and Rich have strayed too far from the melodies and chorus approach. The riffs are unconnected on Lions. Chris's voice seems labored, and the lyrics are silly for lack of a better word. Two songs are very good, but the rest is almost unlistenable. I am surprised at the reviews thus far. We are struggling to find real roots rock n' roll, but I cannot blindly support this album as many self proclaimed critics have found necessary. The Oasis/Crowes tour would have found me in the first row three years ago. Now,who knows? Just a theory, but I think the lead singer of Extreme had a hand in this effort.
Is the review positive or negative?
