As ''full-time part-timers'', PUSA had thought themselves to be 'post album', enjoying a relaxed and limited touring schedule combined with liberal hammock time. When they booked two days with their producer last October there were no expectations, and no material other than Singer Chris Ballew's notebook. Things got out of hand, and a month later Kudos was tracked. The album is a happy mix of old, new, and brand spanking new, that should hit right at the soft tissue of fans old and new. Ok, mostly old, but still its a fun listen and should eventually be purchased by everyone on the planet.
