Production


The album was produced by Matt Wallace.[8][9] Frontmen and songwriters Josh Clayton-Felt and Michael Ward were joined by a new bassist and drummer.[10][11]


Critical reception


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]
