CliffDJan 25, 2005This album is an example of how versatile these guys can be. Adelaide is the best song the 97s have ever put together. Tracks such as Won't Be Home and Friends Forever take us back to the "Too Far To Care" era. This is a very well rounded album and a great purchase.

jjmoneySep 19, 2004You either got it or you don't. Hard to explain, but this one stands up with their best. It's not easy to follow a masterpiece.

KatieAug 9, 2004It's solid throughout. Won't Be Home, In the Satellite Rides a Star, and Adelaide especially are top-notch. Definitely not as bad as they say, and worth repeated listens.

TonyPJul 31, 2004Considering the quality of most of todays music, this album shines although next to their past efforts this is not the strongest. Highlights are "Won't Be Home", "Valium Waltz", and "In the Satellite Rides a Star".

DavidGJul 29, 2004This is a very good band who has consistently put out good to great music. That being said, Drag It Up truly feels like a hodgepodge of Old 97's songs. Very little consistency as a whole and a few songs are simply weak. Production sounds somewhat flat and lacking dynamics. Overall not bad per se, just doesn't live up to previous releases that well imho.

RickyJul 27, 2004Don't look for Satellite Rides Vol. 2. The Old 97s revert back to the days of Hitchike to Rhome and Wreck Your Life. The songs remain solid, but they may pale to some listeners because of the rustic production. Just listen to it several times and the album begins to shine brightly.

BradBJul 27, 2004Their most carefree songs (and best album) since their quintessential "Too Far to Care."

Kind of a drag.

Under The RadarOld 97's have become synonymous with infectious melodies and whip-smart lyrics, and they don't disappoint on album number five. [#7]

MagnetGradually succumbs to torpor, with track after track given over to midtempos and pretty-yet-languid riffing. [#64, p.104]
