Title: Another Great CD
Review: Hard Candy, the Counting Crows fourth studio album, is markedly different than their previous three. The sounds on the album are much more varied from song to strong, and stray a little further from the roots rock that has dominated their earlier albums. Songs like Good Time, and New Frontier, have sounds that are strikingly unfamiliar when considering the Crows earlier material, but nonetheless fit. The standouts on the album are "why should i come when you call," "Richard Manuel is Dead," "Up all Night," and the title track. The only real fault with the album is that it seems to be over produced, leaving some tracks too busy to pick up on the little subleties. With that said, it is an amazing album nonetheless, and puts the Crows in a very select group of bands who can last for more than 10 years, and have multiple great albums. Buy this CD.
