I listened to the new “Counting Crows” album almost all day Friday and Saturday. It’s a good solid album. I was looking for more from them. This album didn’t really break any new ground. I was hoping for a bigger reinvigoration of their sound. I didn’t get it, but there are still some great songs on the album. I think I like them because of the upbeat melancholia they manage to emit; it’s a good approximation for my normal mood.

“I left a lot of ghosts in San Francisco
and now you wanna say you see through me
but what you wanna see ain’t your memories of me”
— Los Angeles, Counting Crows
