Shortly released after the “Water Music” compilation, this LP has the same concept (and twice as many songs). Poppy, catchy punk with obvious references to the Ramones, the Queers and assorted Lookout/Fat Wreck bands. Some of the tracks fall into the inevitable “so-so” category, but most of this is good (and surprisingly consistent) melodic punk and hardcore. [7]

Zweiter Just Add Water-Sampler, kurz nach der “Water Music”-LP veröffentlicht und im Sound sehr ähnlich - nur gibt es hier doppelt so viele Songs. Poppiger, eingängiger Punk mit den üblichen Ramones/Queers/Lookout/Fat Wreck-Reminiszenzen. Einige Songs sind nicht sooo doll, ansonsten für einen Sampler überraschend einheitlich und gut.
