Americruiser is the second album by American alternative rock group Urge Overkill, released in 1990.[7][8]

Critical reception[edit]

Trouser Press wrote: "Butch Vig’s production of Americruiser ... cleans the sound up enough to reveal the thin strings, clunky tempos and weak hooks holding the songs together."[9] Spin called the album "relentlessly hard and fast, but ... never murky."[10] The Rough Guide to Rock wrote that "the songs had improved ... perhaps because they seemed less desperate to impress as comic narratives."[11]
