    Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings is a rock record in the grandest and most polished sense of the word: it wears its lineage proudly, and imparts emotions directly and brazenly honestly no matter how pretty or shiny the picture is.

    On the harder-rocking half, Duritz is nearly emo-esque in his self-loathing.... The disk's Sunday Morning half, is more acoustic, quieter, reflective. But after the epic bender that precedes it, it's also just kind of a drag. [Apr 2008, p.78]

    There are moments--notably 'You Can't Count On me'--but the band behind him are wringing diminishing returns from their polished country-rock. [May 2008, p.92]

    What a comeback by a great band. Their 2nd best album after August imo. They are back.

    I have been a long time fan of the Crows so I can't be totally sure that my rating is biased, but I am confident that this is definately one of their best albums. As with all albums there are some songs that I don't like that much, but the ones I do like are incredible. In my opinion critics are being pretty hard on this album because the crows haven't been in the spotlight for years and years. If this album was by Jack White the critics would of fallen all over it, or if the Crows were still underground the critics would of called this album groundbreaking. Either way, it's a great album with a few duds scattered throughout. Definately worth a listen. Whatever you do don't judge this album by the first radio release "You Can't Count on Me", there are so many better songs to be found here.… Expand

    I have always loved this band. It's popular to put them down, esp Adam, and say their songs are not so good, but when I hear those comments, I have to wonder if I'm listening to the same songs. His lyrics and singing style, as well as the arrangements and quality of musicianship have always been top notch for me. This album is no exception, and I'm glad they are still making records.… Expand
