...want it to be for a song so purely “pop” that it betrayed the honesty and rawness of their best work. I felt a similar ambivalence toward “Hard Candy,” the Counting Crows’ last studio effort from 2002, which featured more than the expected one-or-two radio-friendly pop/rock tracks.

That’s two and a half years in the studio, not on tour. A second, and possibly more problematic obstacle to the band’s success, is the drastic difference between their recorded material and the more organic, less polished quality of their live show. The degree to which their MySpace fans will be willing to embrace a crossover from highly produced studio project to funk jam band remains to be seen...
