Not the best, but still worth it

Review Score: (8/10)
I learned about the Crowes in reverse order, starting with Lions and this was the last CD I bought. The only way to truly review this is to dissect it song by song.

#1 Under a Mountain - Wonderful. Exactly what you would expect from the Crowes. The "perfume and valium" line is brilliant.

#2 Good Friday - Great down-home/bayouish harmonica intro. A good one to sing along to. The chorus is real catchy, one of those that will get stuck in your head.

#3 Nebakanezer- Don't listen to it too loud or the feedback noise at the begining will kill your ears. Kind of crazy, but who says that's a bad thing?

#4 One Mirror Too Many - This is the one Crowes song I can't stand!

#5 Blackberry - Not Chris's best, lyrically, but the guitar kicks.

#6 Girl From A Pawnshop - Classic.

#7 Halfway to Everywhere - Funky, it's the one you dance to!

#8 Bring On, Bring On - Softer than most of their other stuff, real mellow and laid back. Just chill.

#9 How Much For Your Wings? - Lots of dischord within this one, I find it kind of unsettling.

#10 Let Me Share the Ride - Destined to become a classic hitchiker's anthem.

#11 Better When You're Not Alone - Jangly early 90s Seattle sound. Had it been around, this would have been on the Singles Soundtrack.

#12 Evil Eye - My favorite on the album. It could have gone on Southern Harmony or Amorica and fit in fine!

In short, Three Snakes is the marriage of By Your Side and Amorica.
