Superdrag – I Know the Score

2 out of 5

Label: Elektra

Produced by: Tim O’Heir (tracks: 1 & 2), Nick Raskulinecz, Superdrag (tracks 4)

Pretty pointless, but I guess it was a promo, so make of the qualification what you will.

Two Regretfully Yours album tracks (Destination Ursa Major, N.A. Kicker), a live Big Star cover, and one early track – Cuts and Scars.  The Regretfully tracks are quality, with Ursa Major classifying as a Superdrag classic, but early ‘Drag stuff leaves me pretty dry, the hook-less rock approach not offering much of a reason to stick around.  The Big Star live cover of September Gurls is what it is: telling of John Davis’ influences, and an adequate, acoustic cover (taken from a previous single), but there’s not any uniqueness to it that demands listening.
