5.0 out of 5 stars One of the greatest of all time. (Really.), November 25, 2003
By Aron Hsiao (Salt Lake City, Utah United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I became a Black Crowes fan with Shake Your Moneymaker. I bought The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion and loved it. When I first bought Amorica, however, I couldn't really "get through" it for a long time... To put it bluntly, I thought it was a dud.

Years later, however, things are different. Time has a way of changing the musical landscape in order to reveal something about quality and emotion. Something, if you will, about the soul of a recording. As the years have passed, I have begun to find that the tracks on Amorica are the sountrack to my life. It was subtle at first... a vague idea that there was a track on Amorica that would suit a young man's road-trip somewhere in the urban plains... and so I skipped around until I found Wiser Time... later, the notion one night, walking home slightly inebriated, that there was some track that would really speak for my "heightened" mental state... and so I found Ballad in Urgency... then I fell in love and realized that Cursed Diamond was the soundtrack to my smile... Descending... A Conspiracy... She Gave Good Sunflower... every damn track on this disc is a classic. Not just great, like the tracks on The Southern Harmony... but a sleeping *classic*, like Gimme Shelter, like Hey Jude. Every damn Amorica track is a classic of Rock and Roll, destined to be listened to for generations, like others before them.

And so, years later, every last damn track on Amorica is one of my favorite musical tracks of all time. I can't live without this disc. Yes, The Southern Harmony and Musical Companion is tight and probably more "lively"... but Amorica is more real, more beautiful, more deep, more in tune with (as Chris once said in an interview), "The Song."

I place Amorica alongside the likes of Led Zeppelin IV, Beggars Banquet, Abbey Road, Back in Black, Mellen Collie, Daydream Nation, Blowout Comb, Exile on Main Street, Brilliant Corners, Naive, Never Mind the Bollocks, Ziggy Stardust, & Nico, The Joshua Tree, Halber Mensch, Angel Dust, Disraeli Gears, Electric Ladyland, OK Computer... and on and on. In short, once you have had the Amorica high, you can't satisfy that particular Jones any other way. It's quality. Hit the road, crank it, and live your life. Thank you, bros. Robinson and the Black Crowes, for a classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Apex of the Black Crowes Career, December 16, 2003
This album is simply stunning. Like a lot of reviewers here, I was actually disappointed by "amorica" at first .... it was so different from "Southern Harmony" and not at all what I expected. But now, almost ten years later, I find that I listen to this album more than any other Crowes CD. The lyrics are so poetic here, especially on the beautiful "Ballad in Urgency" and "Cursed Diamond". This album shows a band coming into its own and defining their unique sound. If all you have ever heard by the Crowes are songs like "Jealous Again" and "Hard to Handle", you haven't heard any of the songs which truly make this band great. "amorica" isn't as accessible as some of their other records and is not an easy listen at first, but it will eventually take root in your brain and gain more and more depth with each play. This is the best record The Black Crowes ever recorded, and unfortunately they were rewarded with mediocre sales which caused them to retreat back to a more accessible style. Ironically, "amorica" is now almost universally regarded as the band's strongest work. I just think this record was too daring for the mainstream record buying public, who wanted "Hard to Handle 2". This is about as far removed from that as possible; it's the real deal, a classic which I predict will only grow in stature with the passing of time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD after 11 Years...., December 13, 2005
I havent listened to this CD in years, pulled it out today and it still sounds great. The songs "Non Fiction & "Wiser Time" are the best tunes on it, they are slow melodic ballads that just take you away. Strange lyrics though but I guess these guys are a little ecentric, drugs definitly influenced these lyrics. Conspiracy is a catchy riff, typical Crowes, love the cover, I got it before they changed it. Anyways, great songs and a great band, good to hear they are reforming for another CD and tour, go see them there worth the money.
