5.0 out of 5 stars one of their best, September 26, 2003
By Jeans Yoder (Yoder, KS) - See all my reviews
Me, being a avid fan of soul asylum after yes, sadly enough from their 2 breakout albums, GDU, and LYDLS. I probably first really picked up on them '96 or '97. Little did i know that they would be one of my favorite bands.

Hang Time supports this notion of a favorite band simply b/c this is an excellent album. Let's start w/ the basics:

Sometime to Return: this was recorded on the best hits album, which is where I first heard the song. It ranks up w/ one of their best efforts as any single. I dunno if it even made it big as a single nonetheless, it's a classic for any SA fan.

Cartoon: also on the best hits album, sort of brings me back to my childhood. it's the kind of song that the more you listen to, the better it gets, so fans...keep on listening to cartoon!

Endless Farewell: I think this is the best song on the album. It's the longest song at 4min and 21 secs, but it's sort of like a testimony of breakup song. it's a song you listen to when life is a little down. a rainy day song.

Marionette: This is quite a playful song. SA isn't known to really to create much seriousness into the lyrics of a song. but the deeper meaning is quite something else. take a listen to this song a few more times to get the full meaning, i think you'll appreciate the band a little more.

Well, the rest of the songs, although short and the typical early grunge sound of SA, generally tie the previous songs together to make the album better. twiddly dee is a fast little ditty of maybe a country tone to it. little too clean can almost be on the made to be broken album, if it wasn't for the little melodic guitar solo in between lyrics which i think is the turning point from fast hard grunge punk to substance songs.

Give it a try. Hang Time is definately worth your time if you are even remotely interested in soul asylum, or even if you just want to try some of roots of grunge, check them out!

5.0 out of 5 stars an unknown classic, March 3, 2006
By Gator Carter (Newport OR) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I bought this the year it came out in '88 after hearing it played in a music store. It's probably the best thing they ever did. Been waiting for them to match it but SA went gradually down hill after this. They caught on to mainstream audiences with Grave Dancer's Union and the bland radio friendly MTV sellout "Runaway Train" and it did em in. But Hang Time is great, highly recommend this lost classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars When Soul Asylum Rocked, April 20, 2008
In my humble opinion, this is the best Soul Asylum album that they made. Long before the commercial hit of Runaway Train, there was this hard rocking album. One of the best live bands ever as well (if not for the Who they'd be the best!). I hope the best for there new album on the soon on the way!

Recorded as they were shifting from punk to something a little more musical, there's just not a bad track on this album. Read more

This is a superior record to all that followed. They were signed to A&M by someone who had landed the major-label gig, and were allowed to sound like themselves. Read more

I had this album on tape when I was in high school and I lost it while I was in the service. It is a hard album to find, but it is one of the classic Twin Cities rock albums.

The Replacements did everything much better and for longer than Soul Asylum. Paul Westerberg makes Dave Pirner look like GG Allen. That said, this is an entertaining album. Read more
