SUPERSTARSHINE VOL. 3

Though it might appear to be some kind of "best of" package by the look of the cover it is not. Supersister's "Superstarshine" is a collection of odds and ends that apparently couldn't find their way onto earlier releases. The album covers the band's bases fairly well but is a bit weaker than the first three and decidedly a "for fans" affair. It contains many short tracks of the circus freakshow variety, this album packing much more of the Supersister sense of humor than the previous album. Even the 13 minute live track "Wow" which flashes moments of greatness mostly succumbs to obnoxious throwaway vocals. One place where the silliness actually worked very well for me was the outstanding "The Groupies in the Band." It sounds more like a Monty Python sketch than a Dutch prog band but the surreal blending of various traditional melodies with clever lyrical bits was charming enough. "Spiral Staircase" is so bizarre that it begins to sound like parody but by this point nothing surprises me. It's all good fun but for hard core fans.for those who don't have unlimited disposable income, you may wish to find something a bit more consistent. 5/10
