November 21: Superdrag - in the valley of dying stars
Let's do some "disappointing follow-ups from great bands" to finish out the month, shall we?
First up, Superdrag. This is their first indie album, after Head Trip in Every Key (one of my top albums of all time) had flopped royally on Elektra and they got dropped. Unlike Last Call for Vitriol, the album after this one, Superdrag doesn't sound like a band at the end of its rope yet. Instead, they ram through these songs like they've got something to prove.
It's only half the album Head Trip was, but half of that album is still pretty decent. I think it's a keeper, especially since I doubt Superdrag will ever have any sort of greatest hits.
