UO - Exit the Dragon


A criminally overlooked almost-masterpiece, or just a great 70-twinged rock album, or probably a bit of both..... I couldnt get into this when it first came out; probably guilty of buying into all the shitty reviews it got, but looking back this album seriously owns. Its out of print now, so look around for this some time in the clearance bin at your local record store, because it could be the best $1.99 you spent in a long time! Or if you already own it, dust it off and give it another shot, b/c "Exit the Dragon" is definitely a slow grower..... either way, you gotta give UO props for doing the glam rock shit when everyone was flying the flannel and listening to "Tad". Theyll probably be remembered as a one-hit wonder from the 90s, but these dudes seriously had it there for a while...

Me and Fortson went and saw these guys in NYC one time back when he lived here. Good show.
