A superb debut work that symbolizes the 90s rock scene.
This is the debut album of Counting Crows, led by Adam Duritz, and is a masterpiece that reached number two on the US album chart.It is known as an important album that established the band's presence worldwide with the huge success of their signature song "Mr. Jones."
Adam Duritz's deeply emotional vocals leave a lasting impression throughout the album, and this debut album harmonizes the band's dynamic performance with a primarily acoustic arrangement. The introspective narrative and uplifting melodies coexist, demonstrating that their musicality was already mature at the time of their debut. "Mr. Jones" reached No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains a defining track of their career. Incorporating elements of folk rock and alternative, yet built around a timeless vocal appeal, this album remains highly regarded as a symbol of '90s rock.
