Reviews"...Urge Overkill are so perfectly placed, with the clobber and the melodies, that it's easy to imagine them hitting Stateside MTV with the same force that Suede hit the music press in Britain....Melodic, sassy, supercool, SATURATION is a triumph for American rock...", 3 Stars - Good - "...SATURATION represents a darker, heavier, more bluesy version of the pop noise of Nirvana...here is yet another American band set to take on the world and come out smiling...", Ranked #40 in New Musical Express' list of `The Top 50 LPs Of 1993' - "...a wonderful, near-faultless homage to the mid-'70s American rock of Boston, Cheap Trick and Grand Funk. Quite exquisite....", "...This band paid attention in How To Be A Rock Star 101. Melody, guitar riffs, and feedback are good...add your own thing, but keep it subtle, as with clever song titles--`Bottle Of Fur' and `Heaven 90210,' for example..." - Rating: B+, 3 1/2 Stars - Very Good - "...Urge have never lacked for ideas, but on SATURATION they cut away the fat....a world where melody and melodrama get their due...", Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - "A lesson in how to go from underground to mainstream with style and panache.", "...Saturation Is a Pristine, Hard Rockin', Unashamedly Romantic All-American Dream Ticket...", "...Abandoning the suave, laid-back airiness of last year's EP for a more frenzied sonic guitar blast, this rockin' major debut is an ultraworthy addition to the fine UO catalog...", Ranked #16 in the Village Voice's 1993 Pazz & Jop Critics Poll.
