Recorded after lead singer Milo Aukerman's first stab at higher "ed-you-kayshun," this giddy disc is considerably cleaner, not to mention friendlier,than the band's essential debut, Milo Goes to College. Not that they'dentirely turned into lapdogs: like the MMonkees, they had a theme son ("Descendents"); like Peter Pan, they expressed the sentiment in the title track. But more than anything else, the Descendents were punked-up heirs to Cheap Trick's legacy, albeit with a less-honed worldview. As with all discs from these guys (and their Siamese Twin, All), card-carrying feminists are advised to steer clear, but those who subscribe to the notion of laughing at others before they laugh at you will most assuredly feel comfy in these grooves. --David Sprague
