Product Description

Rolling Stone (11/25/99, p.98) - 3.5 stars out of 5 - "...a couple of the best things they've ever done....[Adam] Duritz rises to the occasion of a stellar arrangement featuring discursive strings, spacey synths and river-deep basses..."
Spin (12/99, p.222) - 6 out of 10 - "...strikes the same oddly compelling, melancholy chord as its predecessors - a crafty, referential rock that should play well to licensed psychotherapists and VH1 viewers alike....[DESERT LIFE affirms] that Counting Crows are genuinely affecting songwriters..."
Q Magazine (12/99, pp.129-30) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...pushes [songwriter, Adam] Duritz to the fore, enhancing his narrative flair on the lengthy Mrs.Potter's Lullaby and the string-drenched 'All My Friends'..."
Mojo (12/99, p.125) - "...a sandbank of relentless, parochial misery....amiable...yet, generates a worrying, overwhelming sadness..."
CMJ (11/8/99, p.27) - "...whether the band is working out an up-tempo number or looking deep into itself on ballads, each track on THIS DESERT LIFE is compelling, powerful and poetic."

垢抜けてはいません。このバンドは､ちょいと訳ありな独身男が､けだるい午後､田舎道をまったりとドライブする時にかけると似合うのでは？

まさに、アメリカン・ロックの王道をいく、ポップでメロディアスな曲ばかりです。なんで日本でヒットしないのか不思議です？

R.E.MしかりToad the wet sprocketしかり音楽をただBGMとして冷静には聴けない。うわ～堅いな～俺、でもやっぱり必要この姿勢。
