Negative Positive
Title: Great Debut
Review: The Hooters were given a national spotlight after Rob Hyman co-wrote the classic "Time After Time" with Cyndi Lauper. They responded well with this successful and strong album. The first single, "All You Zombies", was a swipe at organized religion, a frank call to believers. The follow-up, "And We Danced" is one of the more underrated singles of the 80's; and "Day By Day" is a catchy, high energy song that showed the entertainment value of this tight band. The rest of the album is equally solid, including the excellent "Where Do The Children Go", a direct look at the lost generation of 80's teenagers. The strengths of this band were always their direct lyrics and high enthusiasm; and both are well evidenced on this album. Most consider this band a one-album wonder, which would be an unfortunate mistake, because their next album "One Way Home" is in my view one of the great albums of the 80's.
