Synopsis

Album Description
The Presidents Of The United States Of America?s 1995 debut went double platinum in the U.S., rocketed all the way to #6 on Billboard?s Top 200, produced three Top 40 hits & a #1 single on Billboard?s Modern Rock Chart, and garnered two Grammy nominations and a gaggle of critical praise. You either loved this record or?you loved it. The band is back and, believe it or not, they once again own this album. They?ve chosen NAIL to distribute it, which is in line with their renewed esprit de corps and desire to keep things friendly and local this time around. The album is on the band?s own PUSA Music label, headquartered in their hometown of Seattle, just up the road from NAIL?s Portland HQ. Getting the rights to this classic debut back from Sony precipitated the band?s recent much anticipated reunion. The Presidents played their first show in five years on New Year?s Eve 2002, and in the last year and a half they?ve continued gathering steam. The new songs originally recorded for the re-release of their debut became a whole new album, 'Love Everybody,' which produced the current radio hit "Some Postman." The band has been touring the U.S. this summer and fall in support of that release, and will continue with dates in major markets through the end of 2004.

CD Reviews

PUSA Returns!!!
Monica J. Erickson | South Dakota, USA | 11/05/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"I have waited years to get my hands on this cd again after it was stolen from me. Only to hear that all of PUSA's was out of print, I was pretty pissed off. That happened almost 5 years ago. Then the other day my wife and i and my kids were at our favorite music shop and I found the Ten Year Super Bonus Special Anniversary Edition PUSA's self-titled debut. I flipped out and got it. And truefully I enjoy this version as much as the original, and the bonus DVD has all of PUSA's videos...all the hits that is. This album I would give a full 10 stars, but saddly you can only give a five.



Go out and get this one boys and girls! I saw these guys back in late '95 early '96 when they played at Mt. Rushmore here in my home state. Just thought I would throw that in.



This album is well worth every cent!"

"Talk about nostalgia. I wore this album out back when I was 14. When I got a couple years older, I sold most of my CDs because I needed money and wanted to put off getting a job for as long as I could. Unfortunately, this album was one of those I sold. I downloaded this album a few months ago and fell in love with it again. I remembered and sang all the words to every song with a huge, beaming smile on my face the whole time. Song to song, this album is a complete blast. It's brilliantly simple, tons of fun, and outrageously sophomoric. If you're looking to hear social commentary, look elsewhere. In this country run by these Presidents you'll hear songs about animals, chicks, dune buggies, and 30 foot smurfs. Being that my last name is Peach, I feel like I have some sort of connection with these guys, even though it got to be annoying during high school when the song "Peaches" was big. Now being 10 years older and in the "real" world, I listen to this album and it transports me to a time in my life when I didn't have a care in the world. It's the type of album you put on when you're wasted or when you're just plain lurking to rock out. I'm excited that they got back together and they're making music again. Looking forward to hearing more stuff and hopefully seeing them on tour.

10 years on and still improving with age

"I bought his album ten years ago when it came out first. It was special at the time, singles like 'peaches' and 'lump' matched my energy at the time. It seemed like there was only one song that summer, 'peaches' and it lasted beyond. The songs on the original are great summer party songs and they still are. I lost my original a while back and the summers just werent the same - this album has a great energy and this summer was made complete with this release. The added material is interesting but a little desparate, there are some good alternate versions of the originals and some demos. The demos are interesting to see how the process involved in songwriting works and then to compare with the finished product, as i said interesting but i could have done without half of the bonus material. The original album hasnt lost any of its vibrant, headbopping energy and the sometimes complete childish idioacy of the lyrics makes the music special in its genre and still makes me grin. Yes, i am that old fart in the office, 2 stone heavier, and thinks that nightclubs are to noisy - reliving the lost pleasures of youth and fond memories - it works for me. This album is good fun both 10 years ago and today. enjoy the fun."
