Free Music Notes for The Presidents of the United States of America: II
Free Music Review: PUSA at their best!
Hit: 5 Stars
"II" is a collection of great riffs and memorable stories, whose songs and production blows the debut album out of the water!
This is by far PUSA's best effort and even though it didn't produce any hit singles, the songs are so much stronger than their self-titled album.
The highlight are:
-"Ladies and Gentleman" is a subdued opener, timidly asking the audience "Are you prepared to rock?" before kicking into high gear.
-"Lunatic To Love" is a lightning fast, erratic love song about being in love with a mental patient. It's like "Lump" on speed.
-"Volcano" features a comic rhyming-spree that peaks with "happy campers, have poop in their Pampers..."
-"Tiki God" is a fast-paced, solid rocker with Brady bunch references.
-"L.I.P." has a great riff and sing-along chorus, that like their best songs totally breaks down at the end.
-"Supermodel" contains another lyrical masterpiece that rhymes both "Schwarzenegger" and "Darth Vader" with "Nine months later".
This album is a great listen all the way through and has been matched only by "Love Everybody" in awesomeness-buy it now!
Free Music Review: A good time for all
Hit: 4 Stars
The Presidents may not have been rock 'n' roll gods, but they certainly don't deserve the one-hit-wonder status that they've been relegated to. As this album proves, the group was way, way more than just "Lump." In fact, this record is easily better than its predecessor, even if it doesn't contain the stunningly catchy aforementioned hit single. This disc is crammed with goofy fun and hook-filled grunge-pop, with churning guitars and surging melodies and lyrics about dancin' frogs. It's the innocent, joyful, and sometimes hilarious antecedent to Nirvana, and we should all be grateful for it. I mean, what's not to love about the pounding, maniacal surge of "Lunatic To Love," or the creepy-crawly utiopianisms of "Bug City?" "Mach 5" rocks pretty damn nicely, and "Froggie" bounces with hilarious abandon. "Volcano" has this really cool ascending riff, and "Tiki God" is hilariously menacing. Sure, the album isn't a work of genius- the jokes get old after a while, and the songs occasionally dip on the annoying side (see "Bath Of Fire"), but for the most part this is a damn good listen.Free Music Review: Big Fan
Hit: 4 Stars
I'm a big POTUSA fan and I needed a new copy of this CD. It's one of their better ones, reminisent of their self titled album. It's just good music. Free Music Review: Let's Rock
Hit: 5 Stars
Well, every PUSA album is great, you really can't compare them cause everyone has such a great hit, it's really just amazing. The first song on this album is so simple that it's really ingenius, it has a very simple meaning: "Let's rock"-with a great tune. And really the first 6 songs are just great hits that anyone will enjoy, but after that it's not as good but stil awsome. I think this album has the most hits of any Presidents album, but I can't say that it's my favorite, cause each album like I said is spectacular, but I'd have to say Freaked out and Small is my favortie, and this might push in at 2nd, but anywho.
So go out and buy everyone of the Presidents albums..NOW (just get the albums used like me..haha)
Free Music Review: One of the best CD's ever.
Hit: 5 Stars
The Presidents manage to pull off their wonderful, elegant blend of silly yet intellectual, on an even better level than before, in II (which I consider to be their best). The clever Elvis-metaphor of "Froggie" make it one of the best songs on here. I also got great pleasure out of finally memorizing all the words in "Volcano". If you like PUSA you MUST get this CD, especially with prices here such as 1.15 used. One-click ordering. Just do it.
