Production

The album was recorded at Avast! Studio in Seattle with Brian Wood, John McBain, and Alan Davis, among others. [6]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "while the Mudhoney/Tad-like guitar rocker 'Between Two Fires' comes off sounding a little too anonymous, the Jimi Hendrix-inspired 'Uncontrolled' is easily the most redeeming moment on The 2nd." [2] PopMatters wrote that "it's not as though it's complete and utter studio wankery (though some of it is) -- there are actual songs to be found in the mush, and some of them even rise a shade above mediocre." [3]
