  Jesus Urge Superstar is the debut studio album by the alternative rock band Urge Overkill. It was released in 1989. The album is noted for its ironic 1970s-worshipping aesthetic.
  
  "Very Sad Trousers" is about the band Royal Trux.
  
  ## Critical reception
  
  Trouser Press called the album "awful-sounding," writing that "the murk of thick mid-tempo guitar rock does nothing to prove the existence of songs, much less any audible trace of junk-culture devotion." The Spin Alternative Record Guide described it as "grinding guitars, distant, shouted vocals, and resolutely unfriendly subject matter." The Washington Post wrote that "Nate [sic] Kato's squalling high-end guitar has a certain delicacy to it and the trio's harmonies achieve a rough, yearning beauty."
