Hootie and the Blowfish did it again however if you are bothered by anti-war rhetoric this CD has a lot of anti war music. I am able to look past the message and enjoy the music but it is somthing to consider.Free Music Review: OFF THE HOOK!!!!

Free Music Review: Looking for Lucky - A very nice album
Hit: 4 Stars
"Hey, get outta my mind. Then ya tell me we got things to say."
The newest release from Hootie and the Blowfish is the best consistent effort from the boys since Fairweather Johnson. No stinkers, a nice collection, very shiny.
"You come around here lookin' so fine. Make it so hard to walk away."
'Very nice' sounds a little underwealming, I know, but it's just that, despite being a solid effort with a number of memorable songs, there don't seem to be any classics here. No 'Let her cry', no 'Hold my hand' or 'Goodbye'. No 'Earth stopped cold at dawn' or 'Tucker's Town'. No 'Fine Line' or 'Desert Mountain Showdown'. It starts off with the standard bluesy sound and then wanders into borderline Bluegrass country on the last few songs.
"Oh, get outta my head. Because that look could leave me dead."
I think the reason I've rated this album 4 stars (quite a good rating from me) instead of 5 stars is that it sounds a bit too polished. Maybe it's just me . . . 'State your peace' and 'Hey Sister Pretty' are good examples of very nice, if overly polished, songs. And I must say that 'Leaving' is a bit too cute for me. On the other hand, 'The Killing Stone', 'Waltz into me' and 'Get out of my mind' are very good with a bit of the old fire to them.
"Then you tell me that you love me."
Yeah, I do like 'Get out of my mind'. Sticks in your head in a good way. All in all, a solid buy.
Free Music Review: Blow, Hootie, blow
Hit: 4 Stars
You all know the story: a band releases a classic very early in their career and unsurprisingly can't match it with subsequent albums. Then fans (as well as the label) lose interest, and then the lead singer departs and tries his hand at a solo album. When THAT album gets ignored, he goes back to the band and they go the indie route. This basically describes how Hootie & the Blowfish came up with Looking For Lucky, but luckily, the album is pretty good.
First off, those looking for another track like "Hold My Hand" on here will probably be disappointed. I mean, that was the kind of song that knocked you out of your seat, and it's not to say that the songs on HERE don't impress; it's just, well, now it should be more evident to people that just because a song can't become a hit doesn't mean it isn't good. Good songs include the motivational "State Your Peace", the single "One Love", and especially "Autumn Jones".
Even okay tracks like "Can I See You" and the obligatory we-are-the-world song "Free to Everyone" can't ruin a good time on this album. Fans should be satisfied upon listening to Looking For Lucky, as well as anyone else that enjoys good contemporary music.
