Slightly Above Average Bar Band Shows its Limitations,
By
Ce commentaire est de: Fairweather Johnson (Audio CD)
By no means a bad disc, but the mid-tempo rock-fock tunes are hard to differentiate mostly, and the song-writing, and performances are not near their debut.Still hard-working, but work can only compensate for talent so often (on their debut), and this disc reveals Hootie and BlowFish's limitations -- fans should enjoy it, but other will want to stick with the debut...

Up yours sophomore slump!!!!,

Forget whatever you've heard about Hootie & the Blowfish up until now. People who say they're soulless pop music have obviously never listened to (any of their music but especially) this album. The boys ROCK on here, turning up the guitars and letting Dariius loose. You cna hear it right away. Be The One is a big boot up the @ss lettin you know that Hootie's back and means business. Songs like Sad Caper and She Crawls away slow things down, but are guaranteed to move you. Meanwhile, Tucker's Town manages to rock while still saying something important, So Strange is back to full gear, as the boys craft the perfect anthem for a sunny day with your special someone. Here's a perfect test of Fairweather Johnson's mettle: wake up, put on Earth Stopped Cold At Dawn and look out your window. When the chills run down your spine (and they will), you know it's time to get this album.

Took Seven Years to Appreciate It,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Fairweather Johnson (Audio CD)
I bought this album after its original release in 1996, and disliked it greatly. At the time I was twelve and had grown fond of their poppy tunes I had heard on the radio. After purchasing 'Fairweather Johnson', I was, more or less, bored. The songs are slow and not quite as catchy as their previous attempts, and for about seven years I placed this on my shelf and allowed it to collect dust. For some odd reason I picked this album up about two weeks ago and popped it into my stereo. I felt very much the same as I did seven years ago. Then I listened again and heard the words. The lyrics are deep, the songs are sentimental, and now, seven years later, I can truly appreciate what this album is all about. Yeah, it's slower, but the songs have meaning. Ironically, 'Old Man & Me' is one of my least favorite tracks on this album, though I had enjoyed it when I first bought this album. It may take a while to grow on you...in my case it took nearly a decade, but I'm glad I gave it another chance. My favorite tracks (in no particular order): Give it a chance. That's all I ask.
