Superdrag Sound Laboratories (2021, Reissue)
Superdrag is a band that I have always liked. Ever since the first time I heard the song "Sucked Out" from their debut album, I was a fan. I've always liked that first album the most and I admittedly have not kept up with them over the years. There are definitely entire Superdrag albums that I've never listened to. But Their first three albums are the ones I'm most familiar with and I'm pleased to finally have that third release on vinyl.
Somehow, I managed to buy this record on black vinyl, even though there are a multitude of other colors available. I remember waking up early in the morning the day the preorder went live and seeing a few colored versions, but I didn't order right away/. I got up, did my normal morning chores and by the time I got back to the site, only the black vinyl remained. Then, later that afternoon, other colors suddenly became available.
It's not really a big deal, Superdrag is not a band that I go crazy collecting variants for, I really just wanted a copy on vinyl so I could listen to it. But the collector in me is annoyed that I don't have either the most limited or the coolest looking version. I'll survive. Musically, this sounds as good as it did when I first heard it in 2000. It's the last Superdrag album I really listened to extensively, but it's also my least favorite of the first three. There are other albums that they have that never were released on vinyl. If those come out, I'll probably be tempted to pick them up. Maybe I'm missing out on a lost gem.
