4.0 out of 5 stars A solid comeback, March 20, 2009

For 'Industry Giants,' the original lineup returns in full for the first time since 1998's "Head Trip in Every Key." And while I won't place this ahead of my still-favorite "In the Valley of Dying Stars," it is definitely a solid comeback effort, especially for a group that has not recorded together in over a decade.

Some highlights - "Try," "Cheap Poltergeists," "Everything'll Be Made Alright," and "Live and Breathe." A couple of misses come in "Ready to Go" which seems to suffer from a lack of enthusiasm considering the title. And "5 Minutes Ahead" is a change in style (for the worst in my opinion).

If you're a Superdrag fan, buy this. There is no reason not to. If you aren't a fan, it's not too late. Also check out the single/video "Aspartame" on one of their websites. Overall, "Giants" leaves the listener with high hopes for a continued Superdrag career.

5.0 out of 5 stars been waitin along time for this, April 1, 2009

ive been waiting forever for a new superdrag record, and it didnt dissappint, its new superdrag meets old superdrag meets the riverdales, and its awesome. I'd disagree with one commenter who didnt like 5 minutes ahead of the chaos, any fan of screaching weasel or the riverdales, will love this song, it takes u back to some old school punk style that superdrag executed better than the riverdales ever could. from start to finish the record is great and after the long wait superdrag sure as hell doesnt dissapoint. look out for jeremy enigk's new record in may. if u never heard sunny day real estate or the fire theft be sure to check them out as well as nada surf and the new chris walla record. now all we need is for no knife to offically get back together and make records again. back to superdrag, i request a superdrag/nada surf nationwide tour immediately.

4.0 out of 5 stars don't call it a comeback!, April 1, 2009

As a huge Superdrag fan since 1995 of course I picked this up the day of release - and having been to the reunion shows and a recent show in Nashville featuring a lot of these tracks I knew what to expect. If you go into this album expecting it to be a continuation on their monumental albums (all four LP's) then you might be disappointed. The band is older and as it has been, well, a long time since Last Call For Vitriol came out, it doesn't just pick up where that amazing record left off. But, if you come into this album just wanting to hear more from Superdrag you will be more than pleased. Any Superdrag fan needs this album and the recent tribute album (A Tribute To Superdrag). So it boils down to this - if you ever loved Superdrag come on, you have to get this album. I would also recommend picking up John Davis' solo album "Arigato!" just for the track "Tell Me I'm Not Free" which sounds like classic Superdrag and the aforementioned tribute album (A Tribute To Superdrag). All in all, those three will keep you happy and partying like it was the 90's again. Just be thankful they are back together - and go to a show! I promise they will play enough old stuff to make it all worth it - and you might be surprised by how good the new stuff is!
