What Is Not to Love


What Is Not to Love is the second album by indie-rock band Imperial Teen. It is the follow-up to their first full-length record, Seasick, and was released in 1998 via Slash Records.

Critical reception

Entertainment Weekly wrote that "there's something fundamentally warm and cuddly about the mixed-gender quartet's seductive mix of indie-rock cliches and hook-and-harmony-informed popcraft".
