What Is Not to Love, Imperial Teen's second album, came out on Slash in 1998, two years after Seasick, the debut Spin had ranked among the best of its year. The San Francisco foursome line up with Roddy Bottum, of Faith No More, and Will Schwartz on guitars and vocals, Lynn Perko on drums and Jone Stebbins on bass, the two women chiming in on harmonies, and the whole band known for swapping instruments onstage.
Those boy-girl harmonies are the hook, sweet and sly at once, tumbling over buzzing guitars and bouncy, rubber-band beats. Entertainment Weekly found the whole thing warm and cuddly, a blend of scuffed indie-rock habits and sharp pop craft, which about nails it. "Yoo Hoo" is the sugar rush, a sing-along with a wink. On came next.
