Somebody left this in the house and I've played one song off it more than the rest of the record put together. I'm at peace with that.

About
Saturation is the fourth album by American alternative rock group Urge Overkill, released in 1993 and produced by the Butcher Bros. Saturation was Urge Overkill's debut on Geffen Records, and a deliberate attempt at a hit record. The label released "Sister Havana" and "Positive Bleeding" as singles in the U.S. and Europe. "Sister Havana" charted highly on both the modern rock and mainstream rock charts, peaking at #6 and #10, respectively, while "Positive Bleeding" became a minor rock radio hit. Saturation is also notable for the fact that Nash Kato – rather than King Roeser, the band's usual de facto lead vocalist – sings lead on almost the entire album. The two would split frontman duties on their next album Exit the Dragon and their 2011 comeback Rock & Roll Submarine. At the end of "Erica Kane", a piece of dialogue by McGarrett from Hawaii Five-O is played before the music starts. The quote is from Season 5, Episode 6, titled "Fools Die Twice". The graphic art for the album cover is an artistic depiction of the Houston, Texas city skyline.
