"in the shadow of God's unwavering love i am a fortunate son"

Date of Review:  Dec 7, 2003
The Bottom Line: Seriously, though, "Mr. Jones" WAS a really good song.
Review: In a certain light, Recovering the Satellites, the awkward, spotlit sophomore Counting Crows album, could be viewed as purposely difficult, something almost self-consciously non-commercial in the wake of August and Everything After, the Crows's...

Someone cheered them up

Date of Review:  Apr 10, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you thought Counting Crows were too quiet and depressing, this album may change your mind
Review: ?August and Everything After? is a somewhat harrowing listening experience. Eleven tracks imbued with inescapable misery and emotional suffering don?t make for easy listening. That?s why ?Recovering the Satellites? comes as something of a surprise...

There's a Reason Satellites Soar or Fall

Date of Review:  Apr 11, 2002
The Bottom Line: If you enjoy good music with intelligent lyrics and a unique and impressive sound, this album is not for you. One magnificent track does not save this album.
Review: I've never liked Counting Crows. After the first few listens to their single "Mr. Jones," some years back I decided I couldn't stand that song. I wasn't impressed and I figured - and hoped - they would be on and off the charts rather quickly. A few...

Recovering Musical Integrity

Date of Review:  Feb 26, 2000
Review: At a time when when insightful, intelligent music seems to be the exclusive domain of female artists, Counting Crows stands as a major exception. Like a dreadlocked, twenty-something Jacques Brel, lead singe/songwriter, Adam Duritz, plaintively...

A Dark Shade of Indigo

Date of Review:  May 8, 2002
The Bottom Line: This is a terrific rock record despite its somber mood, and the only reason I gave it 4 stars is it's too sad.
Review: The album art for Recovering the Satellites is kind of a B-flick green, but it should have been a dark shade of blue, as that is the feeling that perpetuates the dark, somber lyrics that come to life through bright, jangly guitar hooks and sweeping...

Difficult Second Album? Check.

Date of Review:  May 25, 2008
The Bottom Line: The bands greatest work. Just great song after great song.
Review: The "Difficult Second album" has always been a rock cliche. The second record from any band seems to take longer than 2 years to finish and comes complete with many lyrical tales about life on the road. There have been some well recognised...

Not a one album wonder after all

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 1999
Review: Edited 3-12-00
After hearing the single ?A Long December? on the radio, I went out and bought this album. I wasn?t expecting too much. Although I had heard several good songs off of their first album, I had written the Counting Crows as one of...

this is quality-songwriting!

Date of Review:  Feb 21, 2000
Review: 'recovering the satellites' is a really depressive cd (just to say that at first)!
you will find majorly a darker sound than on the other albums, but still the quality song-writing you are already used to.

It Grows on You

Date of Review:  Mar 24, 2001
The Bottom Line: If you want to feel everything from sorrow to exultation; drowning and falling and living and dying and dreaming . . This album has it all.
Review: After the magic of August, the Counting Crows would have needed a miracle to avoid even the slightest semblance of a sophomore slump. In my opinion, nothing could have measured up to the first album's amazing energy, beauty, and creativity. The...

Recovering the Platinum

Date of Review:  Jan 24, 2000
Review: I'll have to be honest in saying I didn't much listen to this album in length until I went and saw these guys in concert. I was missing out on some good tunage. The dreaded MTV only playing videos twice before they are out of the rotation, I was...
