excellent cd
This is Hootie & the Blowfishs' best CD yet. Not a bad song on it. My wife loves "Hey Sister Pretty" & my favorite is the blue grass/country sounding song "Leaving". Would recomend it to anyone. If you haven't listened to Hootie here lately,give this one a try.

Looking for Lucky - A very nice album
"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.

It's decent, but too homogenized
Like much of mainstream American music, Hootie & The Blowfish have found their groove and settled in a little too well. The songs all sound nice, but each bleeds into the next much too easily. I would mention standout tracks to try, but when songs barely deviate from their comfortable formula of an easy tempo and the same damn three chords... Close your eyes, point, and try a sample song. If you like the thought of 12 tracks of it, you'll be quite pleased with Looking For Lucky. As for myself, I think I'll look elsewhere.

Good,but...
not as good as Cracked Rear View. It's a little more country than their previous albums if you can handle that.
