Source-derived summary

Another Sunny Afternoon is the second studio album by the American punk rock band Squirtgun. It was released in 1997 through Lookout! Records. It was their last album to feature Dan Lumley on drums until he rejoined in 2008. It was also their last release on Lookout!.

Reception

Writing for AV Club, J. Garden cites the ode to the Gilligan's Island character "Mary Ann" as a stand-out track, but found the project overall to be disappointing and forgettable when compared to the successes that have come out of founder Mass Giorgini's label. The record reached top 75 most played albums on CMJ alternative radio charts.

Track listing

All songs written by Squirtgun.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Another Sunny Afternoon” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Another, Sunny and Afternoon provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 25, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q4770369. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1997 and 2008.

Critical limits

Titles can refer to several editions, objects or performances, making precise identification essential before interpretation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
