Editorial Review:
Album Description:
The indefatigable Superman legend and brand returns to the big screen this year with the highly anticipated film Superman Returns, starring Brandon Routh as the Man of Steel. In celebration of this latest chapter in an incredible super-hero legacy, 14 hot new bands step out of the phone booth and into the spotlight to deliver a spiritied, Superman-inspired song. Ranging from reinventions of super-powered classics to all-new songs dedicated to Clark Kent's alter-ego, Rhino's unique disc salutes a legend and sends young WMG-affiliated bands souring to new heights.
Amazon.com:
Just in time for the summer movie season, Rhino delivers a Man of Steel celebration in 14 tracks from up-and-coming power pop-rock bands, loosely collected around the theme of Krypton's favorite son. The Academy Is… turn in an energetic reading of R.E.M.'s "Superman," while new versions of the Flaming Lips' "Waiting for a Superman" and Donovan's "Sunshine Superman" are mostly disposable renderings of their earlier versions. Sound of Superman sticks pretty much in the preteen appealing guitar rock vein--braver cover choices would have been to revisit 1975's funky "Black Superman Muhammad Ali" or Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "Superman Lover." About as nutritious as a bucket of buttered popcorn with a root beer chaser, these songs go down easy but may leave you feeling like you want to sit down to a green salad of the originals. --Ben Heege
