In the Valley of Dying Stars is the third album by Superdrag, released by Arena Rock Recording Co. in 2000. [4] [5] The Japanese version includes two bonus tracks, "Comfortably Bummed" and "Diane".
The album was produced by Nick Raskulinecz and the band. [6] It was recorded at Stealth Studios and Woodland Studios, in Tennessee. [6] [7] Sam Powers plays bass on the album, replacing Tom Pappas. [2]
The Riverfront Times wrote that Superdrag's songs "have some lyrical bite but musically are as sweet as (non-boy-band) popular music gets these days." [8] The Washington Post wrote: "This is Superdrag's best album, exuberant pop-rock tempered with a rueful worldview." [9] CMJ New Music Monthly thought that the band drives the songs "into overdrive, framing ironic shots (largely at the band's former label) in complex, almost Queen-like arrangements." [10] The Boston Globe deemed the album "rich, resonant power pop." [11] The Tallahassee Democrat called it "a gorgeous example of the new pop sensibility, tough and tight and brimming with brilliant hooks." [12]
All songs written by John Davis.
