Free Music Notes for Presidents of the United States of America
Free Music Review: In its own simple rocking awesome way, this is genius
Hit: 5 Stars
If you are looking for progressive rock run far away from this album, because most of these songs were written with only two strings and don't even NEED another. Here is "Kitty", the greatest song about a cat as far as I know, "Lump" and "Peaches" that make you need to get up and dance, while the main riff on "Naked And Famous" is headbanging worthy.
There is a cover of "Kick Out The Jams" by the MC5 here, and honestly I think this album is more fun than the MC5. "We Are Not Going To Make It" is a song you have to disagree with, because even if they were only amazing for this album, they definitely "made it".
Sure they're not as serious or heavy hitting as Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, and believe me as I've listened to those bands way too much, I know. But try to listen to this rock that doesn't try to be anything but fun and not be in a good mood, it's impossible. The perfect antidote for being bored.
Presidents of the United States of America Poster
2008 reissue of the fabulous debut from the Seattle Alt-Rock trio, originally released in 1995. Features the hits 'Lump', 'Peaches', 'Kitty', 'Dune Buggy' and more.The Presidents of the United States of America scratch that itch that you can't reach. They do and say all those things that you'd like to, but fear what people might think of you. They are your inner-child, but stinking drunk on a half-case of cheap beer. And, with the youthful appeal of the Dead Milkmen, the off-kilter storytelling of Primus, and a razor-sharp sense of irony, they are utterly undeniable.
Try, if you will, not to sing along with "Lump." It sticks in your brain after the first chorus and won't leave until you hear something supremely catchy just to scrape the chorus out of heavy frontal lobe rotation. Musically, they keep everything very minimal (they have only five strings between bassist Chris Ballew and guitarist Dave Dederer) and use their incredibly twisted wit to engage the listener. From the punkish "Lump" and "We Are Not Gonna Make It" to the funky "Boll Weevil," the Presidents are the perfect antidote to the serious, heavy-handed rock perpetuated by their Seattle brethren. --Adem Tepedelen
