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.
@@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 🪄🎸😎
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?!?!
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.
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
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!
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
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
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.
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, : )
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"!
+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
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.
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.
@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....
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...
@@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.
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.
Hey, look around today Everything don't need to be the same Feel, I'm feelin' lonely people People just like me who go it alone I guess I'm gonna go it alone Now I live my life (woo-ooh-ooh) Remote controllin' my destiny Yea-yeah, yea-yeah (woo-ooh-ooh) I can bleed when I want to bleed So come on, come on (woo-ooh-ooh) You can bleed when you want to bleed Want to bleed Bleeding Bleeding Hey, look around today Everything don't need to be the same Feel, feelin' lonely people People just like me who go it alone 'Cause baby I'm a rolling stone I live my life (woo-ooh-ooh) With no control in my destiny Yea-yeah, yea-yeah (woo-ooh-ooh) I can bleed when I want to bleed So come on, come on (woo-ooh-ooh) You can bleed when you want to bleed Yea-yeah, come on (woo-ooh-ooh) Everybody bleed when they want to bleed Come on and bleed Yea-yeah, yea-yeah (woo-ooh-ooh) I can bleed when I want to bleed Come on, come on (woo-ooh-ooh) You can bleed when you want to bleed Yea-yeah, come on (woo-ooh-ooh) Everybody bleed when they want to bleed 'Cause I can bleed when I want to bleed You can bleed when you want to bleed
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.
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!)
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.
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.
as usual with UA-cam and Vevo, the ads always play crisp and smooth. But when the video plays, its lag city. Thanks UA-cam. Thanks double Vevo. I think I'll go listen to my CD
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...
oh dude, I LOVED Screaming Trees. I saw them w/ Tad once. Most of their albums are really good BUT none of them came out in 1993. "ddavp274" said that Saturation was the best album of 93 and I was just saying that while UO's Saturation was a good album, I could think of many more that were better. Although you could say that 93 was the Trees' biggest year what with "Nearly Lost You" being released on the Singles OST and the video being played every other hour on MTV. Great band!
@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.
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.

STRAIGHT UP 🔥🤘
No doubt.
Like HolySmokeOfficial said, "STRAIGHT UP"! The whole album is great. A great road trip listen.
@@ottomatic3123great call. Do people still do road trips? Even more so, will they listen to a whole album???? Remember those things?

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 🪄🎸😎
These guys are ridiculously underrated. Such a great album
For sure!!!
No matter how shitty I am feeling, this song instantly puts me in a good mood.
🐎
Agreed
yeah it has that effect 4 me too
2024 here and I still love them
The late Blackie Onassis. Thanks for being part of Saturation. One of my favorite 90's albums.
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?!?!
Their next album Exit the dragon was the underrated one, some awesome raw songs on that one also
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.
Such a killer album from start to finish.
Sad they dont get enough respect.
Oh yeah, Fuck Nirvana!!!
Even after the “finish”; the bonus track Operation: Kissinger is amazing too
They just put a new album out Oui that's really good
Who is still in love with UO in 2021?
🙋
2022
Right here and heading into 2023💓
Shit. I bought Saturation because of this song.
2023 !!!
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.
If there's ever a Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame category for lead singer names, Nash Kato is the first inductee.
hard to overstate how fucking great this whole album is !!
If ever a band needed a behind the music....I’d love to hear their story, such a great band

"... 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.
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
I've always gone it alone. Prefer it
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.
It would be so awesome to see them live or even talk to them! Lucky you! ^^
I was obsessed with this CD. I had to buy it twice. And even then I copied it to a tape.
I woke up singing this today. It's gonna be a good day.
It only took me 24 years, but I finally saw the video. It's GOOD!
U beat me 28 yrs later
One of my fav albums of all time
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
30 years (now)!
Nirvana's 'Nevermind' was released 24 years before 'Sgt Peppers'. Today 'Nevermind' was released 34 years ago. Crazy!
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.
Absolutely BRILLIANT song, album and recording of a band in their best moment. LEGENDARY!
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, : )
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.
I had this album on cassette...never saw them live but was a big fan back in the day...
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"!
Is Eddie from Litchfield, MN?
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.
One of the best comments I've read on UA-cam!
+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
+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
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.
I still live close and we still play occasionally but life gets in the way sometimes. I thought Glasgow had a good scene?
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.
Heard this back in 93, still in my head!!!!
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.

Dude looks kinda like Tom Petty, sounds kinda like Chris Cornell. Just now checking these guys out, and I like what I’m hearing.
Hearing this 29 years later. Whoa.

Totally Cheap Trick!!!
My Jams! Such a great time to be young and green. And concert tix were under $25
One of my favorite opening guitar riffs, ever.
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...
Tão MTV. Tão anos 90. Amo!
What a great blast from the past! Reminds me of my college days...
If I ever find a genie, one of my three wishes would be, they make more albums.
They never stopped
@@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.
One of my favorite bands ever! Can you hear me UO?
This was soooo good in the 90's.
Still is.
Here from Jablinski Games. Jack was right, I can totally see how they were influenced by these guys!
Absolutely brilliant. 90s was such a golden era of weirdness. Too bad manufactured pop won and that bs dominates till this day
EASILY the best album of '93.
Agreed
This song rules
"More hooks than a bait shop"

Great song...great band

Kato hit me in the head with his bass guitar by accident in Illinois some years ago!

Always so good great better best...
I was 3 years old when this came out. YEAH YEAH, YEAH YEAH
I have no idea why these guys don't get more attention...
Everything perfect about the '90s, with even more '70s sass.
Me! "Heavenly Thrills 90210" is beyond brilliance.
spent all day humming that opening riff and trying to find what song it came from. Such a good song.
missed this song so much! yeah yeah :)
i agree i loved these guys in 93!
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!)
New album next month

Dude, you now having me wish that Chrissie did a duet with Nash and UO. That would have been a killer fucking song.
A great rock song!
This song takes me back
drummer has some skill
Wow, at 2:00, ya think they were influenced by The Who? In my opinion one of the best albums of the 90s.

Love love love it!!
Paul Schaefer loves this song.
+spacedoginnebraska The world should love this song.
he sure does. they were still playing as recent as 2010
Thank you for that comment. I was nudged to rewatch that video and start my weekend off right.
Qweeerty
I wouldn’t hold that against the band, though...
Nash Kato - my 1993 Creem Dream (still listening in 2019?)
absolutely
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...
So tragic how such a great band has been so forgotten...under 3,000 views??
4:3, you know it's gonna be good.
I love the title of this song
Blackie Onassis greatest rock name ever. That or Ariel Bender.....
my best pick me up song. good vibes
Holy crap I like this song!
Had a shitty morning. This was the remedy.
How many spins have I given this? Hundreds? Thousands? It sounds as fresh and energetic as the first time I heard it. Goddamn.
A top 100 for sure!!!
Permission to rock me GRANTED!
@cindylouallen You're right!. I never noticed that when Nash has the purple shirt he's been substituted.
Amazing!

@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.
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.
This is video has one of the highest great song/bad video ratios of all time.
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.
@jevicci then yes, you missed a lot of self-indulgent videos, but you also missed a lot of classics. Way too many to count...
It's silly, yeah. But I've seen far worse. :o
Its spot on an homage to late 70s early 80s New Wave Videos.
Liz Phair makes a cameo on the back half.
Saw them live at NIU in 1992 ... Wild moshpit
Total fucking BANGER. Should be 500 million views.
I love this song but I hate it coz it makes me feel old. Ahh, the memories.........
Old? This music makes me feel Young,very Young!!!!!
I was there too
When you stop listening to good tunes and tolerate "yacht rock" (like the Eagles)...you can feel old. Until then, you still have gas in the tank.
Awesomeness z🎵🎶🎵🎶🎸🎵🎶🎵🎶🎵
RIP Blackie
2020 still listening and loving it.
Love this band. Shame they weren't bigger
It's a shame these guys never made it...they deserved it.
I thought they did make it!!! maybe not like....R.E.M.....but who would want to be them?
Wonderful❤❤❤
