Performer Notes - Full performer name: The Presidents Of The United States Of America.
- The Presidents Of The United States Of America: Chris Ballew, Dave Dederer, Jason Finn.
- Additional personnel includes: Mark Sandman.
- Producers: Chris Ballew, Dave Dederer, Jason Finn.
- Recorded at Bad Animals and Studio Litho, Seattle, Washington.
- The Presidents' hugely-successful 1995 debut established them as practitioners of a loose-limbed, goofy pop sound, marked by dirty, overdriven guitar and absurd lyrics. On their second offering, the ungrungiest boys in all of Seattle keep the ball rolling, with a new batch of twitchy, manic pop tunes to make you giggle and groove.
- Singer Chris Ballew relates bizarre, Zappa-esque tales about bugs, frogs and Tiki gods over the angular, bouncy rhythms of Dave Dederer and Jason Finn. The trio's skewed power-pop is arch enough to keep things interesting, but melodic enough to provide these twisted ditties with a tasty sugar-coating that keeps things accessible. Highlights include the geological horror story "Volcano" and the instrument-endorsement satire "Toob Amplifier." Rest assured, The Presidents are the same trio of sick puppies you knew and loved on their last album.
Professional Reviews Entertainment Weekly (11/08/96, pp.65-66) - "...Starting with...smarty-pants whimsy, II finds Seattle's only angst-free band sailing through more Romper Room alterna-rock. The trio's songs have such meaty, beaty, big, and bouncy melodies that they sound as if they're playing while bouncing on trampolines..." - Rating: A-
