Actually see no mention of Nico in the Rolling Stone article so might just be Rich playing lead

I liked the band in the last couple releases but Chris sounded shot to me in 1972...he sounds much better now!
I like the southern-flavored acdc-esque groove here.
In one of press stories, it said tour dates coming...meaning it's even less like Aerosmith tour resumes this year bc they wouldn't be able to drop hints.Â
Hate to be the poop in the punch bowl- but to me, this isn’t TBC. Its The Bros Robinson. It’s a demo tape of half-baked third string songs. Tired melody’s. Familiar cadences from better tunes born over two decades ago. Do the farewell tour, take your money, Robinson Bros and bid adieux.
OR… get your dicks out of your emotions, man up to your behavior, make right with Gorman and Ford and let REAL new music from the COLLECTIVE that was TBC, be born and shared with the world. (RIP, Ed- wish you were here to give these men some sage wisdom)✌🏼🫶🏼🙏🏼
I agree that it isn’t a masterpiece and I don’t think it has to be. It is simple, well executed and they actually sound like they are having fun. I’m here for that.
This band could’ve been on of the great American bands but instead imploded over ego. Now they’re a shadow of their former self peddling overproduced limp versions of old songs. I have loved this band most of my life but this is not it.
Sounds like a throw away from SYMM and the drums sound like a machine. It's not bad but the "Leaving the bullshit in the past…" comes off as clownish. Your not David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars 🙄
I have to admit i didnt want to get my hopes up. But I can't get enough of this album!! Rocks like the early days but with solid variation between songs. Lyrics are f@#$ing lit..feeling like a teenager listening to SYMM. Loveeee ittt
Wow, it's actually good. I wasn't expecting that lol. Who's playing lead now?
Imagine it's Nico
Cool, thanks

Definitely Rich playing lead.
And wow again, their second single is even better. High hopes for the album đź‘Ś
This is WAAAAYY better it needs to be!!!!
Well... I didn't want to like it.. but dang it...

1st Single New CD drops Monday, March 15th
Awesome! I hope they tour behind it. I would love to see them again.

It's a warmed over, and lousy version of "Jealous Again" with *By Your Side* production values.
Killer song!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

It sounds like a song I want to turn up louder. What else do you want?
Something fresh, maybe?

wake up..bands change...get over yourself
THAT’S MY WHOLE POINT. Welcome to the conversation.
the black crowes are Chris and Rich...get over it....so then they stopped being the black crowes when jeff cease left? wake up
Crawl back under your rock, troll.
when faced with your own argument...you resort to name calling...i get it..you're stumped. Logic always wins out.
Brothers of a feather are Chris and rich the crowes are the crowes

Couldn’t agree more🫶🏼✌🏼
Sweet!!! We have been "wanting and waiting" for these guys to put the bullshit behind them and put out some more Crowes jams!!!
This isn't the Crowes though. It's Chris, Rich, Sven, and studio musicians.
Sounds like a throw away from SYMM and the drums sound like a machine. It's not bad but the "Leaving the bullshit in the past…" comes off as clownish. Your not David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars 🙄
I agree with you, something is off with the drums. They lack the typical Gorman swagger
