Editorial Reviews :
It took Hootie and the Blowfish more than four years to lick their wounds and get back into the studio after sales for 1998's Musical Chairs tanked--at least when measured again their 1994 debut, Cracked Rear View, which sold over 16 million copies. To prevent another commercial misstep, ?ber-producer Don Was was recruited to give their rootsy pop rock a tune-up and, to Was's credit, that's all he did. Was has cleaned up their folksy rock, turned up the guitars, and encouraged singer Darius Rucker to unleash his inner soulfulness. On songs like the simple but engaging 'Little Brother,' Rucker sounds like a modern-day Brenton Wood as he twists his elastic vocals around lyrics that impart a homespun tale about making one’s own luck. On 'Little Darlin',' the band wades into country rock. A cover of the Continental Drifters features Drifters vocalists Vicki Peterson and Susan Cowsill. --Jaan Uhelszki
Buyer Reviews :
Take a look back Jack at just how much it seems the blowfish have seemed to be 'hidden.' After rumors of break-up many fans may have scattered and forgotten about the ALT. Rock classic band. Sorry, but the rumor is untrue and Hootie is back with the first new thing since 98'. Yes a new album. Well, dont expect anything to much to the same to their recent success's such as Cracked Rear view, or Musical Chairs. We see deeper into darius's lyrics, and hear some new styles while soothing to such poetic ballads. Theres only one problem to those who might be new fans. Your getting alot of cuddle ballads. This couldnt be played for the hyper. But not worry your hurry. This album supplies tracks like 'Space, Go and tell him, Deeperside, and the rain song,' to fill your show to go. I give this album 4 stars. 1 star deducted because of the long wait! This cd will fuel the ol' stereo if your into definete old fashion rock that has been missin for since, well Musical chairs. If you dont count Smothered scattered and covered. Which is a another recomendation. Dont forget the self titled album is truly a gem with in its self. Save this one, you may never find another album like it again.
