Counting Crows - Butter Miracle, Suite One (5/21)


Recommended Posts

I know the Crows aren't most people here's cups of tea but I'm sure there's a few lurking that appreciate the band. Below are the PO links for variants currently available:

I believe it’s “Butter Miracle, Suite One” (which doesn’t exactly make any more sense, just noting it for the record) with Suite Two to follow and make up the whole “Butter Miracle” album. 

The Butter Miracle picture they have shared is grade A nightmare fuel and one of the worst things I’ve ever seen (if I was braver I would post it, but I’m not so I won’t), but the new song is pretty good, if you like Somewhere Over Wonderland (I did) and the Rolling Stone description of Suite One sounds pretty intriguing.

Sigh. I was a huge fan of this band for sooooo long, but now.... I just can't. 

But I'd still buy a repress of Desert Life in a heartbeat. Even if I know in my heart of hearts it'll just be a super generic vinyl-cut-from-digital issue.

 

At least I'm lucky to have fantastic sounding copies of their two best albums: The double AP of August (seriously, buy this if you haven't before it's stupid expensive) and the original double Satellites cut from tape (bought in 199-ish for... $15 I think?).

Aren’t most records today cut from digital? 

Sadly, yes, even the ones originally recorded to tape.
That's why prices for the analog originals stay super high. Once in a while an artist is smart about it (like Petty doing an AAA reissue of Wildflowers) but not often.

Wow. What an idiot, this is what happens when you create PO posts before the birds wake up 🙄 Thanks man!

I can't believe I just bought this... Tower Records' variant and their phenomenal $2.98 media mail option got me interested, but honestly the single sold me. 

 

As someone who plays their first 3 albums quite frequently, listened to Hard Candy quite a bit as a kid but not so much as an adult, and hasn't really ever given the other albums much airtime... the new single is pretty enjoyable.  It feels the tiniest bit off in a few places, like they're trying to be the Counting Crows - which I realize is absurd, but pretty good overall. I'm in to give it a shot - best case it's good and we'll have future  suite(s) to look forward to, worst case it's terrible but at least I get to have a 12x12 piece of cardboard with that beautiful album art in my house.

Hard Candy is definitely their most underrated in their whole discography. If you haven't given their latest a whirl, the single Palisades Park might perk your interest. It's a solid listen too!

But yeah, I'm a fan of Elevator Boots and am hopeful for this. No reason to think it will be bad, as I don't think they've genuinely had a bad release. Even Saturday Nights and Sunday Mornings was an enjoyable ride for me and something I go back to frequently.

I should definitely give the past few albums a real chance. I'm looking forward to this, too. I just really, desperately need them to repress This Desert Life on vinyl.
