2024 here and I still love them

[@kevinw8688]

If you want to hear a great no frills rock album with simply insanely brilliant, catchy and memorable songs you are doing yourself a disservice if you ignore this record. It's simply fantastic on every level.

[@HolySmokeOfficial]

STRAIGHT UP 🔥🤘

[@MikeLandicovers]

No doubt.

[@ottomatic3123]

Like HolySmokeOfficial said, "STRAIGHT UP"! The whole album is great. A great road trip listen.

[@jhgillmd]

@@ottomatic3123great call. Do people still do road trips? Even more so, will they listen to a whole album???? Remember those things?

[@cieskokid]

@@jhgillmd Indeed! My youngest brother and I road tripped 4hours from downtown Cincinnati to Toledo/Liberty Center for his wedding & we were fully equipped with a CD of " Saturation" cranked up to 11...so f*&#ng excellent 4a road trip that when "Nite and Grey" and "Heaven 90210" faded out we listened 2the whole thing again! 1of the best times I ever had with my brother too🚗 . "Saturation" is 1of those perfect sequences of killer true rock songs, never get tired of listening to this album 🪄🎸😎

[@michaelwilson2340]

The late Blackie Onassis. Thanks for being part of Saturation. One of my favorite 90's albums.

[@darknutgaming5510]

It was me, I thumbs upped everyone”s comments so we all could get one more positive bleed for 2023. I wish you all well hope you have a great year ahead!

[@kennethostrer735]

These guys are ridiculously underrated. Such a great album

[@Chubzdoomer]

For sure!!!

[@snipertsx]

Such a brilliant genius record. I remember Urge touring with Pearl Jam in 1993 when PJ dropped Vs.! I was at UNO Lakefront Arena in New Orleans and watched the guys from Urge on stage left watching Pearl Jam's set. It was such a fantastic night. What an amazing time the 90's were for music. What happened?!?!

[@HoodooWrong]

Their next album Exit the dragon was the underrated one, some awesome raw songs on that one also

[@AlmostReadyMovie]

Telecom Act of 1996 Is what happened. If you were in NOLA in the 90's, you must remember 106.1 The Zephyr which didn't stand a chance when Clear Channel moved right next door with the god awful 106.7 The End.

[@psychoticnostrils8334]

If there's ever a Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame category for lead singer names, Nash Kato is the first inductee.

[@cgh7337]

No matter how shitty I am feeling, this song instantly puts me in a good mood.

[@frankriccardi8587]

🐎

[@musicsunhappymusicsunhappy1700]

Agreed

[@angryagain3801]

yeah it has that effect 4 me too

[@nunnayabiznezz2370]

I woke up singing this today. It's gonna be a good day.

[@JAWTO]

When I finally realized what was needed to dig myself out of the hole I had spent years digging, this song became my intention and energy.

[@zekb6382]

One of my fav albums of all time

[@shelley9000]

Met them at Shank Hall in Milwaukee. One of the best shows I've ever seen. The fact that when I walked in to the venue I nearly crashed into Nash doesn't sway my opinion one bit. And he liked the beer my husband was drinking, : )

[@HolySmokeOfficial]

Absolutely BRILLIANT song, album and recording of a band in their best moment. LEGENDARY!

[@musicsunhappy]

Saw them in Chicago many times. Talked to them after the show, they are great guys and talented in my book. Thanks for the post.

[@duharenboll]

It would be so awesome to see them live or even talk to them! Lucky you! ^^

[@JiaPia3]

I was obsessed with this CD. I had to buy it twice. And even then I copied it to a tape.

[@joetriolo9161]

the fact this song is now 25 years old scares the s-t out of me...like someone else said it was a shame that this band never really made it..I'm not a Chicago guy but these guys rocked big time

[@BrettGrady-vf4kx]

30 years (now)!

[@Philliben1991]

Nirvana's 'Nevermind' was released 24 years before 'Sgt Peppers'. Today 'Nevermind' was released 34 years ago. Crazy!

[@postoergopostum]

I'll still knock out a cover of that every now and then. That little recurring lick on the tenth is as sweet under the fingers as it is on the ears.

[@muddfoot69]

If ever a band needed a behind the music....I’d love to hear their story, such a great band

[@sixwaveholddown]

Go listen to the song “Puss” by the Jesus lizard and read the lyrics. The lyrics are about the how the singer of urge treated his one of his girlfriends back in the day. Decided I didn’t need to know much more after that

Happy 25th anniversary to one of my all-time favorite albums and bands!!! Here's to Ed 'King' Roeser recovering fully from his recent heart attack and to him having many years ahead to enjoy family, music, and life.

[@charlottesometimex]

I was reminiscing and it brought me here. I managed a record store for most of the 90's and was a huge UO Kill fan.

[@treatmentbound]

It only took me 24 years, but I finally saw the video. It's GOOD!

[@jamescaban7710]

U beat me 28 yrs later

Who is still in love with UO in 2021?

Shit. I bought Saturation because of this song.

[@daviramos1047]

2023 !!!

[@notyetskeletal4809]

Hearing this 29 years later. Whoa.

[@WestwardOneOH]

Such a killer album from start to finish.

[@edgarjimhawthorne664]

Sad they dont get enough respect.

[@jamescaban7710]

Oh yeah, Fuck Nirvana!!!

[@pyenapple]

Even after the “finish”; the bonus track Operation: Kissinger is amazing too

[@KOSMICKEN09]

They just put a new album out Oui that's really good

[@Curdog]

I have no idea why these guys don't get more attention...

[@jotteria79]

hard to overstate how fucking great this whole album is !!

[@fenixrising75]

This was soooo good in the 90's. Still is.

[@badgebadge8946]

If I ever find a genie, one of my three wishes would be, they make more albums.

[@CatLover-g7j]

They never stopped

[@badgebadge8946]

@@CatLover-g7j I did not know, after saturation and exit the dragon they kinda went silent. Had no idea they released more well over a decade later. Will check it out.

[@JamesPerry-m6d]

This song takes me back

[@joetriolo9161]

I had this album on cassette...never saw them live but was a big fan back in the day...

[@paulcrowe6586]

Saw Eddie Roeser in Litchfield, MN playing in an early band...about 1982. They played an original song that I wish I could hear again. We asked how they bought all their equipment and they all answered "Drugs Man"!

[@treatmentbound]

Is Eddie from Litchfield, MN?

[@ryanwood1288]

"... I guess I'm gonna go-it alone." - Somehow 28 years ago this verse strangely hit me. 28 years later, somehow it's strangely true.

[@utubeutube4761]

Even with a wife & family, still feel that way- more than recommended but be who YOU are & let all them chips fall where they may - it is the way my brother

[@missednoahsarc2654]

I've always gone it alone. Prefer it

[@steelyburt]

Dude looks kinda like Tom Petty, sounds kinda like Chris Cornell. Just now checking these guys out, and I like what I’m hearing.

[@machbaby]

One of my favorite opening guitar riffs, ever.

[@65tosspowertrapl36]

Heard this back in 93, still in my head!!!!

[@dickflinghammer58]

Some years after I kept wanting to remember what this was (I forgot) I couldn't look it up I forgot everything about the band except for the feeling. Like a splinter in my mind irritating the fuck out of me I couldn't remember among the million other things in my head then boom it hit me.

[@javajoelradio]

The verses give me Gerry Rafferty "Baker Street" vibes. Those chord progressions are somethin'.

[@JamalDOA]

I was 3 years old when this came out. YEAH YEAH, YEAH YEAH

[@baricho4771]

Love this band.. miss em...

[@BrendanMurphy8]

The best years of my life - still experimenting, still thinking I was gonna be a contender, now I';m just some schmuck with a beautiful wife and a couple of bright eyed kids. If only...

[@penfifteen666]

One of my favortie memories was walking into the Viper Room and seeing UO sitting at the bar.....shit yeah! Played with them there 15 yrs later.

[@Senator107]

One of the best comments I've read on KZbin!

[@calebkendrick5571]

+penfifteen666 Yo i know its an old comment but wanna share who you are? Cause it'd be cool to know your not talking shit hahaha

[@penfifteen666]

+Caleb Kendrick Just a guy who moved to LA in the early 90's saw many friends' bands play around, went to the Viper often, saw the iMposters nearly every sunday night. Then fast forward 10+ years and my band The Penfifteen Club is playing, all the waitresses are wearing UO wife beaters, Jack Black was there and introduced the band

[@calebkendrick5571]

Awhh good shit man. Wish i lived near an actual music scene, i still play around Scotland with my band but i need to get where the action is.

[@penfifteen666]

I still live close and we still play occasionally but life gets in the way sometimes. I thought Glasgow had a good scene?

[@philspill6854]

My Jams! Such a great time to be young and green. And concert tix were under $25

[@silversurfer50]

What a great blast from the past! Reminds me of my college days...

[@kevinhallam1443]

One of my favorite bands ever! Can you hear me UO?

[@adrianohonorio5376]

DGC found another Nirvana, a pity this one didn’t even come close in terms of success. This album, Saturation, is amazing. Pure power trio power pop Cheap Trick for the 90s joy.

[@blackcatwaltz90]

Absolutely brilliant. 90s was such a golden era of weirdness. Too bad manufactured pop won and that bs dominates till this day

[@mothersfreakout]

I love this band! This album is awesome!

[@Drewisgaming]

EASILY the best album of '93.

[@jamescaban7710]

Agreed

[@mrtigsgirl]

i agree i loved these guys in 93!

[@Merlin97]

When I want to hear that certain rock guitar tone, I always put on UO Saturated and crank it. These guys always hit their genre with a sense of a social era and cultural flavour.

[@Malkmusianful]

Everything perfect about the '90s, with even more '70s sass.

[@johnnyjoey]

A great rock song!

[@HatchColtraine]

as usual with KZbin and Vevo, the ads always play crisp and smooth. But when the video plays, its lag city. Thanks KZbin. Thanks double Vevo. I think I'll go listen to my CD

[@recreationalraccoon]

Love, love this song! Hoping these boys get to another studio album again, as rumoured! (C'mon, c'mon; you can bleed what you wanna bleed, Nash n Eddie!)

[@pyenapple]

New album next month

[@decristo1021]

@MisterID10T I don't know where all those years went eitehr. After this album, things went bad. Urge was a ROCK BAND in the truest 70s, rockstar, big hooks, girls and cars tradition. These guys were WAY more Cheap Trick, New York Dolls and Big Star than they were Nirvana, Soundgarden and Pearl Jam....

[@jhgillmd]

Totally Cheap Trick!!!

[@BrutusMcCrunch]

It was 70's in a very 90's way though. Fellow X'ers will recall that in the late 80's/early 90's there was a HUGE 1970's revival and it seeped into the style of dress and choice of heroin and everything. These guys just fit it perfectly. Saturation was a very well done album that they couldn't equal,however.

[@WOKEBOGAN-bv7mx]

Love love love it!!

[@PanasonicTooth]

[@jarrodlee9429]

my best pick me up song. good vibes

[@TheOnlyValken]

Here from Jablinski Games. Jack was right, I can totally see how they were influenced by these guys!

[@sadeyes7652]

they were so good

[@davidg.9932]

Kato and Eddie get most of the credit, but.. Johnny "Blackie Onassis" Rowan on drums was a driving force behind their biggest hits.. His struggles with drugs cost him his job. Btw I'm thinking Danelectro Sitar...

[@TheJHPJr]

Tão MTV. Tão anos 90. Amo!

[@barthess4342]

[@ratsontherails]

Thanks

[@lorihyatt2457]

Wonderful❤❤❤

[@dluxx7283]

I love the title of this song

[@DaveAnchovies]

A rare example of a band who paid the dues for years and made their best album after getting signed. Saturation is a classic lp that still holds up. They have earlier stuff on Touch and Go Records--a crucial label that gave us Butthole Surfers best years, Big Black, Jesus Lizard, Man or Astroman? and so much more too stubborn to appeal to wide audiences. Killdozer, Didjits(could have been a major label band), Laughing Hyenas and more. Somehow Urge got a break and made it with a cover song in movie.

[@robertdegraw3551]

2024 and still resonates!

[@nancykerrigan1335]

This is video has one of the highest great song/bad video ratios of all time.

[@jevicci]

Unless the video is just raw, simple footage of the band performing the song, it pretty much sucks as a rule and does nothing but detract from the experience of the song. That's why I stopped watching them after the early '80s.

[@MrJett1971]

@jevicci then yes, you missed a lot of self-indulgent videos, but you also missed a lot of classics. Way too many to count...

[@AmyLSacks]

It's silly, yeah. But I've seen far worse. :o

[@squinkque]

@reanimate280 big headed yeah, i once saw nash throw a tantrum in a small club, because the audience wasn't appreciating his music, but these guys had more talent than most bands, then and now.

[@davedavid427]

Was the audience talking? If so, good for him. I wish more musicians told the crowd to STFU. Talking during shows has gotten completely out of hand.

[@johnbrinkman2172]

i remember Chrisse hynde saying how mucch she loved this band. I really miss 93 94.....great great music.....but i would do a lot over and i could have been happier....i should have listened to UO more than Jeff Buckley....but UO, man....they will never be repeated. peace and love to them. great great rock.

[@mikeguinness5408]

Dude, you now having me wish that Chrissie did a duet with Nash and UO. That would have been a killer fucking song.

[@mattarmstrong2316]

What happened to the ending? That was the best part of the song. It sounds like they’re playing it it reverse. KZbin had to get rid of it 😡

[@voidnxtdoor]

[@paulooca67]

I love UO and I want to see them in Chi or NYC for the album release. To me, this song & vid summarize what r&r is supposed to be. Self indulgent, incoherent, loud and with, you know, eastern guru guys and stuff. I totally forget if Beavis and Butthead liked this video--anyone remember?
