"Rolling Stones bassist Bill Wyman said of Saturation in 1993, "Urge Overkill, a band made up of some very smart boys acting dumb, had a ambivalent year, cursed, you might say, by the granting of all their wishes. The band had a good record company enthused about promoting a good record, and good ..."  [+]  Reply

"There’s a lot of remarkable things about this album but one that stands out to me is Tony Williams. This is one of the best recorded examples of Tony redefining how one can use the drum set as an instrument and as a crucial melodic device in the arrangement.

"Feeling meh about this album. This felt quite repetitive for me to listen and sometimes I feel like I've heard something like this before. All I just feel is just meh. I'm sure if you're a major fan you would like it, but someone else I don't know..."  Reply

"Fantastic country album. Don't know why this is so low rated. All good songs and 'Jolene' and 'I will always love you'. The latter so much better than the Whitney Houston version. A must have!"  Reply

"Interesting but not very musically. I really enjoy the storytelling, but the voice can get tedious and the stories dull towards the end of the album. It just becomes not as interesting as you go on, but in general its a fun listen."  Reply

"I bought this on cassette when it came out and was hooked. I listened to it several times in a row without stopping and haven't stopped listening to it for 20 years. In the span of albums from "Box" through "Under the Stars," Robert Pollard draws inspiration from the entire history of rock after ..."  [+]  Reply
