History of origin
After the Angry Samoans split up in a dispute in 1988 and officially disbanded in 1991, singer Mike "Metal Mike" Saunders recorded some little-noticed solo albums. In the mid-1990s, Saunders reformed the Angry Samoans together with Vockeroth and occasionally played concerts with changing guitarists and bassists, primarily on the west coast of the USA. The material written during this time was recorded and released as an album in 1999 by the band at the time.
reception
Adam Bregman from Allmusic highlighted the differences to the previous Samoans albums, the songs of which former band member Gregg Turner had contributed significantly. Bregman positively emphasized that the new album was "smarter" than the previous ones, "poppy" and influenced by the Ramones. In conclusion, he awarded three out of five stars. The music critic Mark Prindle described the album as "fuzzy stupid beach music about girls", highlighted a deliberate but not achieved similarity with the Ramones and awarded it four out of ten points.
