I saw them live once upon a time in a galaxy far, far away
in South Africa. They were good. Actually awesome! Then, I kind of lost
interest in the band with their music. It became a bit bland. But honestly
this is the best album of the Counting Crows since Recovering Satellites. On
Somewhere Under Wonderland they still are channelling the likes of Lynyrd
Skynyrd, REM and the Band. Their new, and 7th CD, is packed with plenty of
striking melodies, and an arrangement that shows off the Crows at their loosest
and most vibrant. It's best to say that the CD contains some of the band’s most
ambitious and thought-provoking songs. As Consequence of Sound said, "A colourful
and emotionally rich palette of sounds that combines past recording
styles."
