Free Music Notes for Saturation
Free Music Review: One of my favorite CDs
Hit: 5 Stars
I won't go over each of the songs, but this is one of the few CDs where I actually love every song and I am not tempted to skip over 'boring' tracks. The first half of the CD is a bit better than the second half. The song 'positive bleeding' always makes me feel good. I suppose I would describe the genre as accessible 'alternative' rock - more poppy than heavy. This is definitely my favorite UO album.Free Music Review: Great Album Very Underrated Band
Hit: 5 Stars
I took a chance and bought this album upon hearing Sister Havana when it first came out in 1993. To my surprise, it was great from start to finish. It rocks out and creates a lot of imagery too. It remains one of my favorite albums even now. I'm sad to see that its out of print and I was always amazed that they never really caught on and went on to better things while other, less worthy bands from that era continue to be radio staples. But then again I'm also a Ramones fan so its not too surprising that good music can be ignored. I did get to see them once at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ and they were very good live. The place wasn't exactly packed so I got the feeling that they weren't very popular. Anyway, Saturation and Exit the Dragon (1995) are both great albums that I highly recommend. Buy them and enjoy. Hear what a lot of acts can only hope to aspire to. Maybe they'll release new material one day.Free Music Review: A then, now, and future classic
Hit: 5 Stars
This is, in my humble opinion, one of the greatest and most underrated rock albums of all time. Very produced and very polished, it does have some annoying elements ("Crackbabies" in particular), but give "Heaven 90210" and "Sister Havana" a listen. You hear the influence in countless alt-rock bands today - just a band before their time.Free Music Review: Oops

I meant to buy Massive Attack. (brain flatulence on my part) This album sucks. It's so bad that it's hard to listen to. If you love Urge Overkill, sorry, but... you're ugly.Free Music Review: Highly over-looked
Hit: 4 Stars
As former producer Steve Albini once called them when
they signed to geffen,"freakish, attention starved megalomaniacs" , and "weiners in suits playing frat
party rock, trying to tap a goofy trend that doesn't even exist." That's what was cool about urge, they played their
own genre. Whatever Albini.
Yeah, at the record store, in one of my moods to buy
anything and everything. I picked up this album in the
dollar shelf. How did I hear about urge? Pulp Fiction of course! Like everyone. But, I was very surprised at this
album. Excellent. And not just, " sister havana," either. Everyone loves that song. Yeah, it's good, but there's other songs too that are great. The very riffing, " Tequilla
sundae," also the upbeat,"woman 2 woman." "Postive bleeding," is so catchy and feelgood, it's hard to believe it never
caught on. Also, " bottle of fur," and the very cool, " the stalker." The hidden track making the cd clock in at 70 minutes is, " dumb song."
Urge toured with Nirvana in '92. They broke up after
"dragon" and also the dissapearance of drummer Blackie.
Nash and King are back on tour as of 06. You need to hear this
album. "Supersonic storybook" is good too and, " Exit the
dragon." Classic.
