August and Everything After was the first studio album release from the Counting Crows. The album was released on September 14, 1993 and drew a great amount of success from the launch of the album due to the hit single “Mr. Jones.” Though being a hit, the song never made it to the Billboard Hot 100 Charts. August And Everything After managed to peak at #4 on the Hot 200 and still stands to this day being their top selling album. Counting Crows still make music today with their last album coming out in 2014, but they have hinted at a new album coming very soon.

Oh My Messy Mind – James Bay EP Review
In the await of his third studio album James Bay released Oh My Messy Mind on May 10, 2019. James Bay, as a young artist has already been nominated for three different Grammys but unfortunately has not won one to this date. Bay’s first album Chaos and The Calm saw him battle the ups and downs of love with a rock pop style. Chaos and The Calm put Bay on the map for his signature style of music and his sad but relatable lyrics. His follow up album Electric Light gained a lot of negative reviews with the use of electronic technics to alter his vocals and add a more techno sound to his music. The new sound went heavily against what he focused on in Chaos and The Calm which gained him his fame. Personally, I enjoyed Electric Light as well as Chaos and The Calm and maybe even liked Electric Light a little more, but the hardcore fans of James Bay had a different idea. For this EP I decided not to rank them due to the shortness of the release, but instead I will just do what I normally do by analyzing each song.
