Urge Overkill-Rock & Roll Submarine (2011)

The mighty Urge return from the dead with a fabulous new record, that is better than one could have hoped for. It's their first since 1995's great but overlooked "Exit The Dragon," "Rock & Roll Submarine" kicks face right out of the gate with "Mason/Dixon", and the juice just keeps flowing after that. "Effigy" is another firecracker, as is "End Of Story" (all three King Roeser numbers.) National Kato also supplies the cool "Thought Balloon" and "She's My Ride." There really isn't a bum track to be found. Let's hope it sells, so they have the bread to give us another album. Buy this thing already, UO are too good to lose again!
