Super Tasty
Super Tasty is the second album by Gumball. It was released in 1993 via Columbia, the band's first album for a major label. 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. Production. The album was partly recorded in a barn close to Vig's Smart Studios. Critical reception. "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." The "Chicago Tribune" called the album "overproduced," writing that the songs sounded better in concert. "New York Magazine" called it "full of rollicking, loose-limbed road songs." "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." "Spin" wrote that "Super Tasty" "has a nice, loose, rockin' vibe." Track listing. All songs by Don Fleming unless otherwise noted
