I love Black Crowes and was waiting with great anticipation for This album. I try to love it....but I can't.
It's boring. I've got all their CD's. I just don't care for......and Warpaint is falling into that category.
I keep trying to like it, but I can't fool myself. I read some of these other reviews and make me wonder.
Ordinary album. All songs weak and bad. I am not remembering one song in album.Must be work for good works.
 Just OK material, adding Luther Dickinson was genius... June 30, 2008

I love the first two Black Crowes albums. I downloaded another one of theirs that was made around 2000, and it was total garbage. This album ranks in between the two extremes, albeit a lot closer to the first two albums. I was excited to read that Luther Dickinson was hired to replace Marc Ford, as I have always been a huge North Mississippi Allstars fan. However, the material doesn't quite live up to my expectations. A bit boring. Some songs are pretty good, but....now if Luther had played on the first two albums, they would be INCREDIBLY SMOKIN'!!!!
 -=- Older & Wiser Crowes -=- June 16, 2008
This is the first Black Crowes cd released in a while, 7 years to be exact. With this release, the band has another new lineup. The driving force behind the Black Crowes, the Robinson brothers are still here. I find this release more laid back than some of the previous releases. Generally, the songs are all good, although there really are no songs that I feel knock your socks off. There will be no songs that change the landscape of the music scene, just good rock and roll. I wish I could rate it higher. My 4 stars is more like 3 1/2 stars, but admittedly it changes everytime I listen. It fluctuates from 3 1/2 to 4 stars every time I listen. If you are a fan, buy with confidence. If you are a casual listener, of course check out the snippets included here on the Amazon site before you buy.
Growing on me... June 10, 2008

I was excited to hear about a new Black Crowes album, to say the least. I expected an album much more inclined towards rock and roll, something towards the edgier side of the Black Crowes. Upon the first listen (I give every new album three listens before I say something definitive...), I wasn't so excited. Very Southern, very folky. Not what I expected, nor what I wanted.
After the second and third listens, I started to hear a lot more in it. "Goodbye Daughter of the Revolution," "Josephine," and "Wounded Bird" started to stand out. Then...
Let's just say that in the past two days, I've listened to the album in its entirety three more times. I LOVE THIS ALBUM! It ended up being one of those sets of songs that took a while to grow on me, and I can't wait to start putting some of these tracks in my playlists. If you've got any sort of tolerance for the growth of rock and roll, buy this album. These guys still know how to stick it to the man.

There have been quite a few good albums that have been released in 2008, which raises the hopes of many that good music is coming back. One of the highlights is the highly anticipated Warpaint by The Black Crowes. Their best album since Amorica, the Crowes go back to their roots and even though the brothers Robinson don't get along socially, they have always had a spark musically, and it's never been more apparent than on this album. Songs like Movin on Down the Line, Goodbye Daughters of the Revolution, Whoa Mule, and a cover of Reverend Charlie Jackson's God's Got it, are highlights and shows a whole other spectrum of unexplored ideas the band previously had not endevored. Warpaint has everything a good Crowes record should be. It's not contrived, they still have their authentic classic rock/blues sound they have perfected over the years, and it's an album that grows on you through multiple listens. You notice something different each time. Overall, this is a flawless record in the sense that there are no bad songs on it, and it brings back redemption to a band who, for many, lost their way. Well, they've found it.
