Seasick (album)

Seasick is the debut studio album by the American band Imperial Teen, released on May 7, 1996, by Slash Records.

[2] Writing for Spin, Barry Walters praised the songwriting, stating that the "hooks are immediate, nearly non-stop, and the happy/sad lyrics draw you in with abstract intimacy.

"[2] The New York Times concluded that "listening to Seasick is like listening to a beautifully arranged Beach Boys album with the lyrics changed to diatribes about how much the band hates sun, surfing and girls.

"[10] The album was ranked number 24 in The Village Voice's 1996 Pazz & Jop critics' poll.

[11] In a retrospective review, AllMusic reviewer Ned Raggett felt that Seasick was "in many ways the lost Breeders album after Last Splash—brash, sharp-edged, taking no crap, and having good fun while doing so.
