August 20, 2006, I wrote the following review of Superdrag's In the Valley of Dying Stars on Lala:
The opening track, "Keep It Close to Me," is a rock monster that cannot be slayed. It breathes fire and kills the king's noble knights who come to slay it.
Man, does that ever still ring true. I regret using the verb slay twice in two sentences, but it's true. This album is really the dark side of the band's now reborn Christina frontman, John Davis. It is also a signal that John Davis was a dying star. An alcoholic, he felt the presence of God sometime in the time between this album and following Superdrag album, Last Call for Vitriol (not recommended!). He was living a perilous life of fame and drugs, so thank God that He called John back to make great music.
