Super Tasty is the second album by Gumball. [3] It was released in 1993 via Columbia, the band's first album for a major label. [4] [5]
Three singles, "Accelerator," "The Damage Done" and "Real Gone Deal," received airplay on alternative radio and 120 Minutes. Dinosaur Jr's J Mascis plays on two tracks.
The album was partly recorded in a barn close to Vig's Smart Studios. [6]
Trouser Press wrote: "A bit more bite would not have gone amiss; much of Fleming’s lyric irony sounds more weary than wired. Still, Super Tasty is a buzzin’ good time, if only for its wonderfully retro sonic glitz." [7] The Chicago Tribune called the album "overproduced," writing that the songs sounded better in concert. [8] New York Magazine called it "full of rollicking, loose-limbed road songs." [6] The New York Times wrote: " In songs that are well-made but never break free of their genres, the band seems content to be a throwback, while a listener is left waiting for the twist." [9] Spin wrote that Super Tasty "has a nice, loose, rockin' vibe." [10]
