  Lion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lions are recurring symbols in the coat of arms of royalty and chivalry, particularly in the UK, where the lion is also a national symbol of the British people.

"Lions" takes it's time to grow but once it does, you are guaranteed a treat on the ear, and a further return to form for Chris Robinson and Co is in evidence.
A fair part of this album sounds more like a throw back to their early records, and especially their second release, "Southern Harmony and Musical Companian" with a heavy blues and funk influence apparent.
All in all, this album doesn't quite make the mark that the last release did, but it is better than the mid-career lull that the Crowes experienced with "Amorica" and "Three Shankes and One Charm".

What As Tall As Lions was probably trying to accomplish with this "Lafcadio" record was some kind of emo-rock epic for this generation of rock what Pink Floyd and Rush were doing for generations past.
The notion begins with the band's name (not that lions are really that tall, but anything with 'lions' in the title seems to boast a majestic quality) and is executed in the band's ethereal, and sometimes hypnotic, soundscape.
As Tall As Lions' attempts to be accessible have backfired, and their more artistic pieces are instantly forgettable.

 Lions & Ghosts   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Lions & Ghosts were an LA band that recorded two albums in the mid-late 80's.
Their first album, "Velvet Kiss, Lick of the Lime" was released in 1987 and featured lush production courtesy of Peter Walsh.
While the music was good, I think the album suffered from having too much of an LA rock image (at a time when LA rock was falling out of vogue).

The good-time swampy swagger is still the defining factor but for the first time the sonic colouring enhances the tunes as opposed to sapping them of their energy.
All the songs flow together, giving the album a cohesion that previous efforts have lacked, and Was generates a bold, vivid sound.
The rudimentary Faces/Stones-like sound of the first album is gone and so is the languid Allman-esque jamming of the later albums.

 The Music Box: The Black Crowes - Lions (Album Review)
Lions kicks down the door with the rockin' Midnight from the Inside Out and keeps the pace with Lickin' -- a tune built around some interesting word play.
As for the rest of Lions, it is comprised of a very healthy mix of pure rock, blues, groove tunes along with some slower selections.
I'm going to stick myself out there in the ugly face of today's pop music and state that Lions is one of the best albums of the year.

 Parasol Records : Labels : Parasol : Doleful Lions : Out Like A Lamb
Fourth album from this much adored trio fronted by the literate mind and distinct voice of Jonathan Scott, who splits his time between his home in Chicago and his bandmates in Chapel Hill.
The album met with uniform praise from the pop community struck by its melodic, melancholic sounds recalling the heyday of the 80s Southeastern pop school led by both Easter and Stamey back in the day.
It was on their next album that the Doleful Lions embraced these influences and took a sharp turn from their debut.

 The Black Crowes Album Reviews
This album is aptly titled, since the influence of the great soul sounds coming out of Alabama’s Muscle Shoals (Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding, etc.) in the late ‘60s is even more pronounced here.
The album begins with “Sting Me,” a greasy Southern rocker with a singable soul chorus, while “Remedy” (the album's hit single) was a great party song featuring ascending riffs, Robinson’s cocky “baby baby” lyrics, some great guitar, and a chorus that kicks you right in the ass.
But true fans of the band who patiently persevered (the album sneaks up on you only after repeat plays) were amply rewarded, and the band still packed houses on the road, fighting the good rock n' roll fight in the grand tradition of the Allman Brothers Band.

 CD Baby: ANUBIS SPIRE: Old Lions (in the world of snarling sheep)
They are as they say "Old Lions", well gifted and conversant in the art, much of which you haven't heard till you hear their album.
Their first album, "Old Lions (in the world of snarling sheep)" is a progressive rock feast that goes from blazing sandstorms of guitar and bass effects to fairly mediocre Rush or Yes rip-offs.
OLD LIONS is a must have...If you are a fan of the strange, the bizarre, the obscure and the extremely talented then you need to own this CD.

Together with "Two" there is also a 4th (and final?) release of "Lions Share" to be expected.
Lions Share has found an original formula for writing songs although "Don't come easy" could easily have been taken off of an album from their compatriots Europe.
All these things make "Two" a versatile album that should be able to please the melodic rocker as well as the sympho rocker and the classic hard rocker.

This success comes in the midst of the album's top ten rock hit "Lickin'" and critical acclaim for the Don Was-produced album (their sixth studio release and V2 debut), along with the momentum of their newly launched "Tour of Brotherly Love" with co-headliners Oasis.
"Lions is a bold gut-check of a record as impressive as anything the Crowes have thrown down in nearly a decade.
'Lions' is a frequently seething and angry album, with some brilliant moments to be found sulking behind great shanks of guitar or beneath underplayed choruses.

I said in my review of the debut album that once Toby lived in his own skin for a while and once he got out on stage and grew with the experience only performing can bring, that his voice would mature and warm further.
This album is in a different league entirely, with more variety and depth and quality of songwriting than the debut.
An example of mastering one genre.All this album is plenty of heart and soul.When you put all your soul in your work it deserves respect and praise.This is not a routinary standard AOR album.

 Atomic Rooster:Review
By 1978 the British Lions were no more but this excellent album is a timely reminder of the fact that there was some fine traditional Rock around in the 70's amidst the gob and the Oi!
The bonus tracks are a delight, and prove (if proof were needed) that the Lions did indeed have enormous potential and their demise robbed the world of a mighty fine band.
Angel Air has made this release special by adding quite a few bonuses....It is these extras that really make this album worth looking into...For any connoisseur of unsung rare-but-necessary additions to their collection, this is a must-have.

 Doleful Lions: Out Like a Lamb - PopMatters Music Review
The song is partially an esoteric tribute (an ode to the Beach Boys, which includes a quote from their song "Heroes and Villains"), part stream-of-consciousness babbling, part pretentious scrawling, but then again, so are nearly all of Michael Stipe's lyrics.
Out Like a Lamb is the Doleful Lions' fourth album, and the current version of the band's lineup has been pared down to a trio: Scott at the helm, with help from David Jackson and Aynsley Pirtle (there's no indication as to who plays what instrument on the album).
The album is quiet in its approach, but grandiose in its execution, reflected wonderfully by the photos of various skies in the CD booklet.

 November
The truth is that I was really anxious about Pride Of Lion’s second album especially after I learned that it was going to be released only a year after their awesome debut album.
I believe that this album is kind of different than their debut cause most of the songs are completely new conceptions and were written some months or a couple of years ago.
This album is more elegant than the previous one and needs several listenings to grow inside of you.

Track three "Fall from grace" is a dark, moody, mid-paced rocker in classic Lions Share style, once again with a good chorus and a techical passage towards the end of the song.
This is the most complete Lions Share album this far and fans of Lions Share will not be disappointed.
"Fall from grace" should be a nice introduction to this brilliant band, and by this album Lions Share has established their position among the greats once and for all.

The greatest hits album has arrived and a decade has passed; they are no longer a band of young dudes too naive to know that it isn't 1972 and they shouldn't still be rocking like it is, but they're far from ready to pack it in, either.
And now, not terribly long after the ceremony, the Crowes release Lions, an album packed with familiar Crowes signposts but lacking the tuneful meatiness that made it so easy for fans to overlook their self-consciously retro posturing.
As usual, Lions catches the band mixing swirling, slow-burn Southern rock with touches of gospel and hard-edged guitars.

With a band patched together from the remnants of Mott the Hoople, British Lions is all swagger and little substance; music performed as though it's very important and vital, but with little in the way of memorable tunes or attitude.
It's convenient to blame British Lions' lack of major success upon their being stuck between the hard rock-glam and punk-new wave eras, but that's a red herring.
Actually, the last three of those demos -- recorded in 1979 by British Lions members John Fiddler and Ray Majors -- are passable, much lower-key things, occasionally rather folky, that don't sound at all like the stuff on the rest of the disc.

 The Black Crowes - Lions | Album Review @ Music-Critic.com : the source for music reviews, interviews, articles, and ...
The Black Crowes' decision to tap uber-producer Don Was for their six album, Lions, met with skepticism from several who believed his glossy pop production didn't jive with the '70s southern rock revivalists' sound.
Often dismissed as a latter-day Led Zeppelin cover band, they've never tried to hide their derivative nature, but few have had as much success channeling the spirits of Page and Plant as Robinson and Robinson.
So for all the debate over how Was would alter The Black Crowes' sound, the results of his knob-twiddling did nothing short of bring back their '70s bell-bottom swagger.

 Black Crowes _ Lions   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Concerts exhibiting the songs of the new album usually signals a weak album, yet the faithful hoped for another “By Your Side.” Second, the brothers Robinson decided to switch record labels to V2, an indie from the major label support of Sony/Columbia.
This was an attempt to entice tape traders and CD burning fans to purchase the new album in order to listen to the BC live, where they do it the best.
Three factors led to the promotional stampede that was “Lions,” and thankfully now that it is over, the lackluster album will recede into obscurity with Amorica and “3 Snakes.” It appears that Chris and Rich Robinson didn’t learn anything from Jimmy Page while on tour except how to write crappy hooks and jarringly bad lyrics.
