Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0720642452820 Label: Geffen Records Manufacturer: Geffen Records MPN: 24528 Number Of Discs: 1 Publisher: Geffen Records Release Date: September 14, 1993 Studio: Geffen Records Editorial Review: Amazon.com: It's amazing the difference a year makes. Upon its release, August and Everything After sounded remarkably fresh, a welcome change from the crunch and screech of grunge. Blending the vocal athleticism of Van Morrison with the moody rock of The Band, the Counting Crows turned on a whole legion of fans turned off by modern rock. But what sounded fresh soon became stale as dozens of bands flocked to the radio with euthanized versions of the Counting Crows' sound. But you shouldn't hold that against the Crow boys. August and Everything After is a fantastic rock album. Though "Mr. Jones" was the moneymaker, the disc features such standout cuts as the dark lilt of "Anna Begins," the morose "Rain King," and the outstanding U2-meets-Grant Lee Buffalo anthem "Murder of One." Maybe time, and another listen, will heal the damage wrought. --Tod Nelson Average Rating:
 Rating:  - What's all the fuss about?It's funny to me how fans latch onto a particular band or artist and no matter what they come out with, it's "awesome". To me, this album is just average. It's sound is predictable, the songwriting is nothing special. And every track pretty much sounds the same. Go ahead and send the hate mail, I can handle it. But I picked up the album because it was recommended by Amazon customers. I love you all, and I have used your recommendations many times. This will remain in my collection, ...

Good lord, this is TERRIBLE. I can't even describe what it sounds like, the only thing I can describe it as dull boring guitars and a vocalist that sounds like Rob Thomas (which is a VERY bad thing). This is draining to the ninth degree. I even think that they take all of the groove, the instrumentation, ... Read More Rating:  - Very Good CDThis CD is a very good Counting Crows CD. I am not a major fan of the counting crows but I do like some of their music...and would recomment this CD. There is not a song on it that I do not enjoy listening to. Rating: - Great!Beautiful CD! Great place to start for anyone looking to get into Counting Crows. This is my favorite of their albums, although you cannot go wrong with any of them. Rating: - A 90's Masterpiece1994 was a great year for rock. In my opinion it was the last truly great year for rock and this CD is one of the reasons why. Alot of people dis the Counting Crows now but back in '94 this type of music was fresh and unique. They were grouped with the alternative bands that were becoming the mainstream at the time but they had this timeless, classic air about them. They sounded like a new band with an old soul. Adam Duritz was singing about dark stuff but rather than screaming angrily about it, ... Read More |
