Counting Crows Recovering the Satellites Rock Music CD Review
Author: Clyde Lee Dennis
Not sure what’s happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better Recovering The Satellites gets. Recovering The Satellites put simply is one of their best CDs to date.
It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply is NOT a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all, with each song standing tall on it’s own.
One of the refreshingly nice things about this CD is the way all of the participating artists seem to be really enjoying themselves. Combine that with the overall presentation and you've got one of Counting Crows most impressive releases ever.
Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired, the production is simply outstanding, and this is clearly the work of a group of musicians in top form. So much so that if you're even mildly into Rock music you’ll enjoy this CD.
While the entire CD is really very good some of my favorites are track 2 - Angels Of The Silences, track 9 - Another Horsedreamer’s Blues, and track 14 - Walkaways
My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Catapult. It’s a great track!
