Claude says:Brand new Counting Crows—their first full album in seven years—landed in your world just hours before you started spinning it, and you went straight through the whole thing in one sitting, letting Adam Duritz's restless storytelling wash over all eight tracks. It's the same nervy, folk-minded rock that made them matter in the '90s, but these songs feel earned in a way that suggests he's been living harder between then and now.
