However, reading ANYTHING that Steve Albini has to say about Urge Overkill is supremely entertaining. Also, Steve Albini...not the nicest knife in the drawer.</P> As an unabashed fan of the Strokes, I feel your pain here, sir.

Exit the Dragon seemed average after the greatness of Saturation, but it did have this amazing tune that was also on the No Alternative comp. Think it was called “Take a Walk.” A total heartbreaker of a song.

It was just so unexpected to hear that they were as great at sad bastard music as they were at flashy pop, you know?</p> I also loved “Exit The Dragon,” although I realize I’m in the minority here.

Worst show I've ever seen by a long shot.
