Human Cannonball is the second and final album by the alternative rock group School of Fish, released in 1993 by Capitol Records.[4][5]
The album was produced by Matt Wallace.[6][7] Frontmen and songwriters Josh Clayton-Felt and Michael Ward were joined by a new bassist, John Pierce, and drummer, Josh Freese, for the recording of the album.[8][9]
"Take Me Anywhere" was released as a lead single and peaked at #5 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart.[10] The single featured a non-album track "Unrecognizable". The band supported the album with a North American tour.[11]
The Kitchener-Waterloo Record called the album "melodic, harmonic rock with an extremely hard edge."[12] The Toronto Star concluded that "Human Cannonball offers a leaner, fresher sound than the band's debut, with a concentration on feel instead of perfection."[13]
The Dallas Morning News wrote that the guitars "reign, at times engulfing singer-guitarist Josh Clayton-Felt's occasionally whiny vocals with little effort."[14] The Los Angeles Daily News opined: "Caked with musical grunge, School of Fish's sophomore effort ... bridges the gap between melodiousness and guitar-driven chaos as well as any album since Nirvana's Nevermind."[3]
All tracks written by Felt & Ward.
