So Counting Crows are finally putting out a new album. The new disc Saturday Nights/Sunday Mornings is the first addition of new songs to the Crows catalog since Shrek II.
The band leaked two of their new singles from the album, 1492 and When I Dream of Michelangelo. and before I even listened to them I had grim thoughts.....
they went like this:
"this is your first album in FIVE YEARS, and the best song title you could come up with is "when i dream of michelangelo"??? you already used that line in a song about 10 years ago! are you that hard up for material?"
the answer is yes. yes it seems they are. The subject matter is the same, the songs sound the same, the melodies are even similar. All this combined, and it seems the new counting crows album will sound very much like the other counting crows albums. Which, i don't mind. I only hope that they don't ask vanessa carlton to join them anymore.
by the way, the song that they stole the michelangelo line from is angels of the silences... if anybody cares.....
