This mid-'90s band's sunny, straightforward sound connected in with audiences weary of grunge bleakness.

Luckily for preppy ’90s kids everywhere, Hootie & the Blowfish haven’t missed a beat. Their new album, Imperfect Circle, sports much of the charm they had during their prime.

Hootie & the Blowfish return but new album blows.

Imperfect Circle should keep Hootie fans happy and it’ll likely bring some of Darius’ audience over to the band’s fanbase.

It links back to the idea of Hootie and The Blowfish’s first released song from their new album of just putting yourself in that happy environment that many fans can latch onto.

Imperfect Circle will undoubtedly please diehards and nostalgists. However, the rest of us would be better off atoning for the snootiness of the past than abetting the blandness of the present.

Hootie & The Blowfish may be on cruise control on this comeback effort, but with reference to Newton’s words, the album does serve a purpose.

Music Mayhem Magazine
Hootie now occupies an anomalous cultural space, residing on both Spotify’s Fresh Country and All Out 90s playlists as once-severe critical backlash has receded into general warm nostalgia [and] the band is seemingly at home in both realms.

Imperfect Circle is a great listen and a welcome return for one of the great American country bands.
-

Come roll back the years with Hootie & the Blowfish. Their new 13-track offering will transport you to when Bill Clinton was in office and the Macarena took over America.
