some time between 1990 and 1993 the men of urge overkill figured out the ingredients to graduate from making decent to good records, to making classic rock records - see saturation and enter the dragon. i got into them during the supersonic storybook days, and at very least, thought it was a pretty good record. still not something i listened to a hell of a lot but pulled it out from time to time primarily to listen to “the kids are insane” and “the candidate.” when saturation was released i was completely blown away. it was a huge record, just waiting to be blasted through the hallowed halls of your local arena. where saturation sounds like a band on the verge of superstardom, enter the dragon are the sounds of a band thats road and life weary, having barely made it through fully intact. which may have been a bit prophetic considering that was 13 years ago and there’s no new urge record in sight.
here they are at the metro in june of 93. its a fm broadcast, btw.
