    Hoping the "Mixed or average" reviews are just the result of preliminary 6-review weirdness; These Are The Good Times People isn't groundbreaking but it's certainly a perfectly entertaining summer album.

    No Presidents fan will be dissapointed. If you are not a fan yet, this is a great intro to fun rock'n'roll.

  1. While not as immediately memorable as "Lump" or "Peaches," punchy songs like album opener "Mixed Up S.O.B.," "More Bad Times" and the breezy "Loose Balloon" come across as less novelty-like as a result of songcraft.
  2. There's nothing complicated on this album, but then when did things ever need to be complicated?

    There's nothing essential here, but there's nothing to dislike either. [Apr 2008, p.115]
