Hurry Up and Wait (Soul Asylum album)

So I generally go with the simplest of choices, and try not to grandstand or bring unnecessary attention to what I’m doing.

Hurry Up and Wait is the twelfth studio album by American alternative rock band Soul Asylum, released in 2020.

This music represents the first work by Soul Asylum frontman Dave Pirner since his divorce and moving back to Minnesota from several years living in New Orleans and these songs were a spontaneous response to these life events.

[5] Editors at AllMusic rated this album 3.5 out of 5 stars, with critic Mark Deming writing that this release shows the evolution of songwriter Dave Pirner, with his "more pensive and introspective side" displayed in the music and that he "handl[es] maturity better than the average rock dude in deep middle age".

[6] Jeremy Lukens of Glide Magazine wrote that this album is "a good representation of frontman Dave Pirner’s vision" for matching "the band’s heavier aspects with intricate melodies and hummable vocals".
