The Cosmic Alloy - Cyborg Superman
Rock, Progressive Rock, Metal
New Jersey, United States
Overall Impression: Well, it's safe to say, The Cosmic Alloy has done it yet again! Another marvelously quirky, humorous, and I think it's safe to say, a bit bonkers (I do mean this as a compliment) offering by a band that just know how to have fun, and in a time when we are continually being bombarded with a colossal amount of seriousness every day, this makes a welcome change. "Cyborg Superman", I mean the name says it all, is a bizarre and wonderfully wacky track that knows exactly what it is, and is completely unapologetic about it, rock on!
Strongest Point(s): The lyrics are always a highlight of any Cosmic Alloy track, you really can't help but crack a smile whilst listening to them, and "Cyborg Superman" is no exception, brilliantly quirky and filled with a great helping of humor, they help cement the group's love for the slightly unconventional approach to songwriting, and it helps give the band it's certainly unique style and attitude. As with similar Cosmic Alloy tracks, "Cyborg Superman" takes a strong hard rock/prog approach, mixing dirty guitars, soaring lead solos, and fantastical synth flourishes to create a musically varied track that makes for a strong musical backdrop for the lead vocals to do their thing over.
Target Audience Appeal: Fans of rock, prog, and the more comedic side of the genres will surely lap up "Cyborg Superman", it's humorous sensibilities make for a fun listening experience
Artist target suggestions: Green Jelly, Tenacious D, Psychostick, Infectious Grooves, GWAR, Les Claypool, Electric Six, The Protomen, Uriah Heep, Spock's Beard, Magic Pie, The Dead Milkmen, Agent Orange, The Radioactive Chicken Heads
