Well.... I had pre-ordered Buffet Hotel from Amazon, but it didn't arrive until today! grrrrrr.....

But... now that it's here, it's been in the player all night and the verdict is in. I like it. For those that may care, here's my completely biased, totally personal, relevant to not much of anything review.


Nobody from Nowhere - cool song, especially to a small-town farm kid like me.

Wings - GREAT song. Favorite so far. Uplifting.

Big Top - pretty good... opening song to next year's concerts?

Beautiful Swimmers - not sure I understand it too well, but it's easy to listen to.

Turn Up The Heat and Chill The Rose - FRIGGIN' AWFUL. Worst JB song I've heard.... maybe ever.

Summerzcool - Yeah!

Rhumba Man - Like it. Can feel the movement starting below the waist.

We Learned To Be Cool From You - Think I'm gonna like it. Need to listen again.

Surfing In a Hurricane - About time Jimmy did a genuine surf-song.

Life Short Call Now - Hmmmm.... dunno yet.

Buffet Hotel - Also a Hmmmm.... dunno yet.

A Lot To Drink About - Love it, just hope Jimmy keeps adding verses. The world's still pretty screwed up.

So there you go.

For me, it's evenly split. I like three songs a lot, three songs are ok, not the best Buffett songs but not the worst, and three that are awful.

I guess I like it...

Some songs a lot, some not very much..
I can't say I love or hate any of them..

3 out of 5 stars from this reviewer....

I just got mine the other day and haven't listened to it yet. I came close to not buying it because I have already heard "Turn up the Heat" (even hearing it on St Barth couldn't save it for me) "A Lot to Drink About" (my bathroom break song this year) and against the general consensus "Surfin in A Hurricane" and don't care for any of them. But I'm hopeful the rest will work for me. I can't say I'd really disagree with the 2 newspaper reviews posted this morning either, even though I love Jimmy, I can see the truth in their opinions. Maybe I'll get to it today

meeee toooo! and it's killing me.

I have been listening to it in my car & I have to say I like it !!!! Especially since I heard some of them in St. Barts it brings back memories of the concert !!!
