AxeS.Mar 4, 2008The Crowes continue their foray into alternative rock (three snakes part II). 'greasy grass river', 'losin my mind', and 'cosmic friend' rank among the band's best songs. the whole album has a psychedelic feel, due in part to the post-post modern album artwork. like most Crowes albums, though, there are a couple of clunkers on lions.

BRANDONLMay 10, 2006One of the most talented bands still touring today is The Black Crowes. Their music is not an imitation, but an innovation of how music can be on the cutting edge and at the same time stay connected to the roots of rock n roll. Chris's lyrics speak to the soul... TEN!!!

jeffgJul 1, 2005Some erratic seques in a few songs, but an amazing disc on every level. On first listen, may not appeal to big Crowes fans, but with a little patience, this will be a staple in your collection.

AndrewLJun 3, 2005Lions is a fucking 10. Anyone who labels the Black Crowes imitators has his head up his fucking ass and/or does not know music. The most prevalent similarity between the Stones and the Crowes is the fact they both rule.

MarkBFeb 12, 2005I basically heard the black crowes backwards and im just now at lions and its one amazing album, i find myself searching tabs everytime i hear the songs so i can play along with the cd. the black crowes are very underestimated, i think theyre the only guys out there that sound like this today, lbasically polished classic rock. much respect

ACOct 18, 2004The Crowes light has always shone and this album is a glorious reminder of that fact. These guys know how to rock and they do it better than anyone out there today. I love this cd. For fans of true rock n roll, this album will be a sure fire hit. Rock on, brothers!

funkmeisterAug 25, 2003The best CD I've heard in a long f*ckin' time! I'm not even a huge crowes fan, BUT, this has got to be one of the jamminest rock CDs out there. A must have.

ColinB.Sep 9, 2002Top rockin album. Top album a must for any black crowes fans or any other rock fans for that matter. This album will sure get your high. F*ck what the critics say they're too interested in wierd commercial sh*t or big names they dare not diss. The Crowes are what music should be!!

R.BloomFeb 4, 2002Haven't heard Lions, but I can tell the critics on this web site just don't get the Crowes. This band loves music, works hard and is what it is. I love everything else they've ever done, and I've got a copy of "Lions" on the way. NEVER listen to critics. Decide for yourself.

ElinaB.Jul 29, 2001I love the overall feel of it... it's very 70's sounding and really easy to totally get into.

BenF.Jul 26, 2001I thought that 'Lions' brought the Crowes into a completely new arena of rock music. The way that the guitars are out-of-tune in "Losing My Mind," makes me feel like I'm actually losing my own mind. I love stuff like that. A complete musical experience. The music would tell the story even if there were no lyrics.

Lions is indeed a truer expression of the Crowes' potential: adventurous songwriting ensconced in a blues- and funk-inspired swagger.
-
Their latest, Lions, gets back to basics without going backward; the brothers Robinson are still ripping off the classics, sure, but they've expanded the history lesson from the Small Faces and Humble Pie to sharpening the attack with Zeppelinesque tricks and modern rock energy.
-
Where the Robinson boys once seemed perpetually stuck in the butt-skankin', Faces-meets-Sticky Fingers pit, Lions draws more on communal southern boogie rock--slightly less on doofus monster guitar riffs. Not that Lions signals any reinvention, the Black Crowes are just masters at resaddling their one-trick pony.
