Hit: 5 Stars
Time Stand Still is very well done. Take the talent the Hooters had back in the '80s and then add 20 years of experience and practice to them, and you get an idea of how good they sound now. The album is more in the "One Way Home" style than Nervous Night, and has the distinctive Hooters sound while still being true to its rock and roll roots. The Germans love the Hooters' "handcrafted music" sound which is why they are so popular over there. The handcrafted sound continues in the album. There's a lot of acoustic guitar, accordion, and mandolin.
You can tell that the Hooters are making a statement with this album. They claim they're re-energized and their music proves it. They start strong with "I'm Alive" and "Time Stand Still" which could be anthems for those who were young in the '80s but getting long in the tooth now. These strong vibrant songs that say "yeah, we're not kids anymore, but we're better". And they're right. The next song is a cover of Don Henley's "Boys of Summer". They banish the drums and bass leaving the guitar, piano, and mandolin. The music matches the wistfulness of the words. I still like Henley's version, but this one is very interesting and in some ways I like it better. "Until I Find You Again", "Until You Dare," "Where The Wind May Blow" are all good pieces, but not as strong as some of the other songs. I might think differently after another dozen listenings. 'Morning Buzz" and "Catch of the Day" are just weird and fun (particularly "Morning Buzz"). When the Hooters do these sorts of songs, it's always entertaining. The mandolin picking in "Morning Buzz" is amazing. "Ordinary Lives" is probably one of the Hooters' best ballads - up there with "500 miles". The album concludes with "Free Again", which returns to the theme of rejuvenation. It starts slowly but the tempo picks up and culminates in one of the great instrumental riffs that the Hooters are so good at. Oh, there is one more song, but it's a hidden track and not listed on the album. It's called "White Jeans" and tells the story of the Hooters in their own words. It's fascinating to hear a musician give the story of his professional career in song.
If you're a fan of the Hooters, you will be very pleased with this album. It's a strong piece of work that stands up to a lot of play. It does not have a huge hit single on it like And We Danced (I'm Alive comes closest), but the overall quality makes this album one you'll want to put into the player and listen to the entire album. If you have not listened to the Hooters before or haven't listened to them since MTV stopped playing videos in the early 90s, then I recommend this album as a perfect way to meet a talented rock and roll band whose "handcrafted" music will leave you with a spring in your step and whistling their tunes.
