One of the trio of bands on Scotland's Room 3 Records, Superhero's debut for the label is a self-assured release which shows a band itching to take their place alongside recent breakthrough acts like Travis and Coldplay. Kicking off in high-energy
mode, employing more distortion than either of their labelmates's recent
albums, Superhero show their rock edge, but quickly move towards a more
acoustic/ballad-based sound with tracks like "Pre-destiny" and "Apple Eye".
The results are mixed in success, with the
The general sound is heavily layered, with a good balance of electric and acoustic guitars providing a dense backing for Tim Cheshire's impassioned vocals. The band's aptitude for melodies is brought out strongly, but at times, particularly later on in the album, a little more work tightening the arrangements would probably have paid off well as some of the tracks are a little too drawn out. A promising release from a band who are winning plenty of fans at the moment. There's some tightening up to do, but generally this is a solid collection of pop-rock songs. James Stewart 11/11/2000
