The Hooters' first album of new material since 1993, TIME STAND STILL sounds as if the intervening 14 years had never happened. Featuring a full reunion of all five original members, as opposed to singer-songwriters Rob Hyman and Eric Bazilian simply resurrecting the name, the Philadelphia quintet's familiar blend of traditional folk instruments and glossy rock remains. This includes Hyman's trademark melodica solos that gave the band their name. Along with 10 new songs, the album also includes a faithful cover of Don Henley's "The Boys of Summer".

I am a biased Hooters fan. I've been listening to them for 22 years now, and I not only own "Amore", "Nervous Night", "One Way Home", "Zig Zag" and "Out Of Body", but I also own their imprint on Cyndi Lauper's "She's So Unusual", Patty Smyth's "Never Enough", Johnny Clegg & Savuka's "Heat, Dust & Dreams" and Joan Osborne's "Relish". I also have their side project Largo.

That said, I could not have been more pleased and excited last year to know that The Hooters were releasing their first new recording in 14 years. Expectations were high, and for the most part, The Hooters have succeeded. Many of the tracks are observations on life and growing up such as "I'm Alive", "Time Stand Still", "Until I Find You Again", "Ordinary Lives" and "White Jeans". I have to be honest, though, I don't think The Hooters are going to have a hit from "Time Stand Still". That's not to say that there are not any catchy tracks–there are. "I'm Alive" and "Time Stand Still" would be my first two picks as singles, followed by "Until I Find You Again".

I am a huge Don Henley fan, and "The Boys Of Summer" is one of my all time favorite songs, so I was relatively pleased with The Hooters' version. They changed up the tempo and used organic instruments, but it works quite well.

I think the weakest track is "Where The Wind May Blow" which almost sounded like Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear The Reaper". Also, "Free Again" was overly long, and I felt it's length was unnecessary.

"Morning Buzz" would be my fourth choice for a single and "Until You Dare" was decent. "Time Stand Still" as a whole works well even though I could argue that it's not there best work (or their catchiest). No, I reserve their best work for "Nervous Night", "One Way Home" and "Zig Zag", their first three albums were excellent. "Out Of Body" was okay, and "Time Stand Still" might be slightly better.

Four stars (which is great considering how long it's been since "Out Of Body") because it's good, but not great, and it doesn't surpass their first three albums, but the band aims high. My feeling is this: The Hooters are back, they should keep the momentum going and release another album next year. I feel they have the power to be in the spotlight again, and "Time Stand Still" surely shows promise.
