Free Music Notes for Exit the Dragon
Free Music Review: A Lost classic, a truly great Rock album *
Hit: 5 Stars
Forget what you've read. Forget all the hipster-snob critics who trashed this upon it's release in '95. This is one great record! Urge Overkill will always be underrated, and this follow-up to the more power pop Saturation, is a bit darker and moodier, but every song works. Great band, amazing Rock album. Songs that stand out as favorites include "Need Some Air", "Last Night/Tomorrow", "Monopoly", "This Is No Place" "Jaywalkin'", Somebody Else's Body" and the ballad "View Of the Rain". If you dig good rock and roll with thick, vintage guitars, strong soulful vocals, catchy riffs, killer Thin Lizzy meets Tom Petty style arrangements, with a little 70's era Cheap Trick for good measure... check this out- UO's best album. I saw the band at one of the last shows on the Exit The Dragon tour, December of 1995, at La Luna in Portland, Oregon. Great show, the band really rocked that night.
Exit the Dragon Poster
Exit the Dragon is a somber, brooding effort fueled by more than a touch of "woe is me." There is no larger-than-life FM-rock anthem on this album; no Paul Shaffer favorite like Saturation's "Sister Havana." Produced once again by Philadelphia's Butcher Brothers, Joe and Phil Nicolo, the 15 songs are almost all mid-tempo groovers. In place of the last album's shimmering guitars and thunderous drums are groaning synthesizers, heavy Hammond organs, distant horns, and clattering congas. Over this late-night juke-joint backdrop, singers Nash Kato and Ed Roeser ruminate about how they hate walking in sunshine, can't get a break, never learned anything in school, made more than their share of mistakes, and don't pray anymore "because too many of God's children die." Such whining sentimentality would be unbearable coming from, say, sanctimonious folkies Soul Asylum or generic grungemeisters Bush. But the members of Urge Overkill are post-modern pranksters who are well versed in every aspect of rock history and '70s pop culture. They're having the time of their lives being this miserable, and the dark night of their souls is illuminated by sign posts pointing out the connections to legendary end-of-the-line classics such as Big Star III, the Rolling Stones' Exile On Main St., and Sly and the Family Stone's There's A Riot Goin' On. --Jim DeRogatisAlternative Rock Music CDs
