Reviews Customer Reviews for Head Trip In Every Key      Expanding your Ears      Rating:      Without a doubt this album is in my top ten and has been since I heard it 10 years ago. It stands the test of time. Superdrag has been catagorized as power pop and I guess that's close enough. They offer a perfect blend of noise and melodic songwriting. If you've never heard them this is a great place to start. It shows Superdrag with their lushest orchestrations. But the orchestrations aren't so lush that you will want to break somebody's violin. The lyrics are top notch, heartfelt. The type you can embrace whole-heartedly, with melodies that will make it hard not to sing along with. I could name standout songs but the truth is there isn't a bad one in the bunch...I guess my three favorites are Bankrupt Vibration, I'm Expanding My Mind and She Is A Holy Grail. When the album is over you might be left scratching your head wondering why this wasn't a smash hit because this is an extremely accessible album...this is how top 40 radio should sound.     Customer Reviews for Head Trip In Every Key Cd      Perhaps the best      Rating:      Artful songs. Wonderful performances. Still holds up, unlike many records from its time. One of the best albums of the 90's. Editorial Reviews for Head Trip In Every Key Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Twenty years ago, Elvis Costello wanted to bite the hand that fed him; on Superdrag's second major-label album, frontman John Davis, a former Buzz Bin baby, bares his own teeth. The band rings hardest and truest on "Do the Vampire," a Who-like yelp against backlash from radio and hometown fans, and "Bankrupt Vibration," which slaps the dead face of current "alternative" radio. A completely unpretentious leap forward from 1996's excellent Regretfully Yours, Head Trip in Every Key stands on the earlier album's hard-pop base while adding acoustic guitars, strings, horns, raga-rock elements, and echoes of everything from Odessey and Oracle, T. Rex, and Matthew Sweet to the first Boston album. --Rickey Wright
