Summary: FINALLY!
Comment: Perhaps the greatest CD of all time, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion, was the second by the Black Crows and therefore set them with an insurmoutnable task of ever creating a better CD. Amorica was quite solid even if it was a bit too 'doctored' with all of the studio alterations. But after that, the Crows seem to settle into some kind of 'We paid our dues, now we can just sell plastic discs'.
WELL, brothers and sisters, the Black Crows are BACK!
Warpaint is phenomenal! It is what we want from the Crows,
Southern,
Soul,
Rock,
Roll!
Robinson has finally gotten back in touch with his inner Shaman, and he rattles the lyrics out with syncopated elegance like a rattle snake Rattle. The piano makes you feel that you are in an old saloon, and the percusion is SO FUL. The guitars are a bit toned down relative to other Crow's CDs, but HELL, its so FFF'n worth it that I dont think anyone will complain. I could go into what songs I think are the best (Movin on down the Line), but I wont try to preach to you about what you like best of the Crows.
Buy it! Its better than 3 snakes, Lion, Shake $, By Ur Side, AND Amorica!!!!!
Its alright Brothers, its alright Sisters

Summary: There is'nt new material, same ordinary things..
Comment: I love Black Crowes and was waiting with great anticipation for This album. I try to love it....but I can't.
It's boring. I've got all their CD's. I just don't care for......and Warpaint is falling into that category.
I keep trying to like it, but I can't fool myself. I read some of these other reviews and make me wonder.
Ordinary album. All songs weak and bad. I am not remembering one song in album.Must be work for good works.

Summary: Just OK material, adding Luther Dickinson was genius...
Comment: I love the first two Black Crowes albums. I downloaded another one of theirs that was made around 2000, and it was total garbage. This album ranks in between the two extremes, albeit a lot closer to the first two albums. I was excited to read that Luther Dickinson was hired to replace Marc Ford, as I have always been a huge North Mississippi Allstars fan. However, the material doesn't quite live up to my expectations. A bit boring. Some songs are pretty good, but....now if Luther had played on the first two albums, they would be INCREDIBLY SMOKIN'!!!!

Summary: -=- Older & Wiser Crowes -=-
Comment: This is the first Black Crowes cd released in a while, 7 years to be exact. With this release, the band has another new lineup. The driving force behind the Black Crowes, the Robinson brothers are still here. I find this release more laid back than some of the previous releases. Generally, the songs are all good, although there really are no songs that I feel knock your socks off. There will be no songs that change the landscape of the music scene, just good rock and roll. I wish I could rate it higher. My 4 stars is more like 3 1/2 stars, but admittedly it changes everytime I listen. It fluctuates from 3 1/2 to 4 stars every time I listen. If you are a fan, buy with confidence. If you are a casual listener, of course check out the snippets included here on the Amazon site before you buy.

Summary: Growing on me...
Comment: I was excited to hear about a new Black Crowes album, to say the least. I expected an album much more inclined towards rock and roll, something towards the edgier side of the Black Crowes. Upon the first listen (I give every new album three listens before I say something definitive...), I wasn't so excited. Very Southern, very folky. Not what I expected, nor what I wanted.
After the second and third listens, I started to hear a lot more in it. "Goodbye Daughter of the Revolution," "Josephine," and "Wounded Bird" started to stand out. Then...
Let's just say that in the past two days, I've listened to the album in its entirety three more times. I LOVE THIS ALBUM! It ended up being one of those sets of songs that took a while to grow on me, and I can't wait to start putting some of these tracks in my playlists. If you've got any sort of tolerance for the growth of rock and roll, buy this album. These guys still know how to stick it to the man.
