SITE_REVIEWHard Candy is the sound of a band at a creative and poetic summit. Over three previous studio recordings, the Counting Crows have moved through varied musical territories as a way of conveying emotion through performance, texture, and nuance; the place where the mood meets the heart meets the mind. Hard Candy is both a radical departure from the band's previous method of recording, and, contextually, an affirmation of what sets them apart from virtually every other band on the rock and roll scene: their commitment to songwriting as craft. These 13 tracks are strongly committed to conveying a song in the hook rather than in the lyric. They are tight, crisp, razor sharp pop songs on a bright, shiny, rock record. Every backing vocal, every lilting string, trumpet line, or piano run, was meticulously crafted and scripted into this invigorating musical architecture -- along with the lyrics. Adam Duritz offers at least as much as he's given on any other album. The set opens with the title track, a wide open four/four rocker illustrated by shimmering piano lines and ringing Byrds-like 12-string electric guitars punching up the middle. Duritz sings with an Allen Ginsberg-like heroic candor: "On certain Sundays in November when the weather bothers me/I empty drawers of other summers/where my shadows used to be/ You send your lover off to China and you wait for her to call/You put your girl up on a pedestal and you wait for her to fall/I put my summers back in a letter/All the regrets you can't forget are somehow pressed upon a picture in the face of such an ordinary girl." These lines reflect the entwined themes that run through virtually every song on the record: memory, the regret of loss due to ignorance, and the pervasive loneliness in everyday life. Even the humorous songs here, such as the first single, "American Girls," offer candid meditations on these subjects. Other tracks, such as "Butterfly Reverse," co-written with Ryan Adams, offer stunningly textured instrumentation and wondrously pastoral pop melodies, accented by a grand piano holding the middle against a huge wash of fawning strings and rim shots as the lyrics drip like dirty rainwater into a puddle in the middle of the street. Ultimately, this record, with its many seeming aberrations, will no doubt attract new fans without alienating the old ones. These 13 stories are wondrously accessible in all their shiny glory; and yet as moving and profound as anything pop music has to offer. [Also available with a bonus track rendition of Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi."] ~ Thom Jurek, All Music Guide
