Super Heroes

This is one of those albums I should've bought back in the day but I was too close-minded to accept any Aqua clones. Oh well, more to me now.

#1 Superhero 9½

I can't get over the fact that I have the score for this and could take it to my singing classes. I'm pretty sure I won't, though.

#2 Call Girl 9½

Oh this is one of my favourites. I've never quite understood why she would want to be someone's "sugar honey punch". The instrumental section was later copied for Johanna Pakonen's Omenapuu. I remember taking this song as an example as something simple that I should also be able to do, at the time I was banging my head against the proverbial wall trying to create something resemblant of dance.

#3 Tamagotchi 9

Unlike Barbie Girl, this poor thing had to change its name due to copyright issues. "Together Forever" is much lamer.

#4 Be My Lover 8

There went the biggest hits.

#5 In the Middle of the Night 8½

The first midtempo, rather okay.

#6 Toy Boy 9

I almost forgot this was coming as well.

#7 Tic Toc 8½

Very basic. It seems that "basic" has become one of my favourite adjectives recently.

#8 Sea of Love 8½

The quality has apparently found a level here. Usually albums continue to degenerate once they've started but this on just keeps going.

#9 Antonio 8½

An interesting modulation but otherwise rather normal.

#10 Sky Is Blue 7½

There comes the dip with the second midtempo.

#11 Land of the Living 8

I have heard curious fill mumblings in my life but "wombadiieeiieeiiou" still manages to disturb me. The bridge is good but the other parts don't measure up.
