Product Description

Amazon.ca

Recovering the Satellites may not be quite the tower of song that the Crows' debut August and Everything After was, but it could hardly be called a sophomore slump. Vocalist Adam Duritz and crew mine similar territory on the more densely produced Satellites, couching tales of dreamers, lovers, and losers in music that's part classic rock redux and part heartfelt folk jangle. As able as the band is though, it remains Duritz's show, and his plaintive voice and serpentine lyrics are what drive this record home, particularly on "Daylight Fading", "Miller's Angels" and the aching hit "A Long December." --Michael Ruby

Product Description

Overlooked 1996 album includes ANGELS OF THE SILENCES. Light scuffs on disc will not affect play.

5.0 out of 5 stars you're not giving it enough credit Jun 21 2004

This is supposedly Adam Duritz's favorite of all their albums and it is mine as well. The Crows got their bearings on their instruments and are coupled with Duritz's painful lyrics. It is definetly the darker and moodier of their four studio albums and it worth a second listen. If you loved August and Everything After chances are you'll at least like this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars I can't find the words Jun 17 2004
By Katie Borg
Format:Audio CD
Recovering the Satellites is the most beautiful and profound album in the world. Many people have deamed him whiny and annoying, but his voice breaks into your soul, and you know that every word, every syllable comes from deep inside him, every note is expressing his desire to rid himself of his loneliness. He is a man with a beautiful mind, who expresses everything through song, that touches the heart of every listener. A soulful experience. BUY IT! Oh, and listen to Miller's Angels.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good Effort, Live Album Improves The Songs Jun 17 2004
By A Customer
Format:Audio CD
I generally like the Counting Crows, but I get sick of them after a while because the lead singer's plaintive singing becomes whiney and forced like he's suffering from a hernia or something. So the songs on this album are very good, but the whineyness (emotionally overblown) really ruined it for me.

If you want to hear the songs played in a less grating and more confident manner, get the live album, Across A Wire.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
This is not a bad album, but I had high expectations after their great debut, and was quite disappointed.

5.0 out of 5 stars excellent!
This one is a bit darker and more intense then previous "August" but has the same raw beauty about it. I would highly recommend this one!!
