Kicking off with an introduction which suggests an 80s rock revival, Earthsuit's music actually revolves around a strong pop idiom, moving through styles in a manner similar to DC Talk's more recent outings. So we have the pseudo-reggae of the opener, some r 'n' b influences and a fair bit of funk and rap-based pop-rock. The result is a fairly unique combination and there are a number of good tracks with strong hooks but the album as a whole seems to jump around a little too much. While it does show a fairly clear identity for the band, they don't seem to build from a potentially strong core to develop an outstanding album, but rather bring their personality to a varying core with slightly less successful results. A promising debut with strong pop credibility, but more an album of promise than a classic in its own right, if Earthsuit manage to keep up the momentum, Kaleidoscope Superior could be a stepping stone towards an interesting career.
