Today is your lucky day, I have decided that my flashback cd review happens to be Urge Overkill's "Saturation". Back in the early 90s, Urge Overkill left Touch & Go records and headed for the big leagues. This was the biggest indie rock sellout, UO never looked back, they went balls out and released Saturation. UO became the either u like them or hate them and pretentious indie rockers spent hours dissing the band. The members of UO didn't care, they embraced the 70s stadium rock and blew up the music world. Some of their best songs were from this cd, Sister Havana starts out with the one of the best guitar riffs known to man and keeps it up throughout the song. This is what sing alongs are supposed to be, big air guitar and head bobbing. From there you move into Tequila Sundae, this one isn't so radio friendly but rocks out none the less. Track 3 you will find UO's 2nd most famous song Postive Bleeding, chalkful of big air guitar and hey style vocals. Track 4 Back on Me is a very good melodic UO song, something that you will find more with the next cd. Track 6 you have Bottle of Fur, a total 70s southern rock jam and one of my favorites. Track 7 Crackbabbies is one of the hardest rockin songs on the cd, lots of fuzzed out heavy guitar and deep bass lines. Track 8 The Stalker is those closest to old UO you will find on this cd, it is very raw, lots of Nirvana Bleach with feedback, screaming vocals and heavy bass. Track 10 you have Erika Cane, UO pays homage to one of the oldest soap starts. From start to finish this cd rocks and Exit the Dragon was amazing but under appreciated. Next week I will do a review of that one for ya. UO exploded and took the music world by storm but like most bands who couldn't handle the pressure they caved to drugs and alcohol and burned out. If you have never listened to this cd or havn't even thought of UO in a while, pull it out, you will be rockin out in no time.

I said Positive Bleeding was their 2nd most popular song, their 1st would be Neil Diamond's Girl You Will Be A Woman Soon cover from Pulp Fiction. Most people know this song but nothing else.
