Free Music Notes for Superhero
Free Music Review: Nice guy, naughty tunes...
Hit: 5 Stars
If you like your musical humor with a dark twist, Stephen Lynch will become an immediate favorite. Both of his albums make you want to play them for people who've never heard of Stephen, just so you can watch their faces as they realize what they are listening to.
"A Little Bit Special" is a studio album, and it gives you an opportunity to enjoy clever lyrics that would make morticians cringe, as well as the vocals of a talented musician with amazing control of his voice. The kicker is that the Stephen you encounter after a live performance is as nice a guy as you could hope to meet. No diva-ness. Just a guy trying to make a living who sincerely appreciates his fans.
My favorite tracks:
"Lullaby": It was probably a good idea to make this the 1st track. The intro showcases Stephen's beautiful voice, but by the end of the 1st chorus, you'll realize what kind of ride you're in for.
"Gerbil": My 1st experience with Stephen was hearing this song on radio. I fell in love immediately, but you don't want to test the waters with this one. It's not one of his tamer songs.
"Hair": It's only 11 seconds long, but guaranteed to give you shivers.
"HermAphrodite": Hysterical paean to the battle of the sexes, especially when the battle's raging inside one person. (Listen for Stephen's amazing control at the end of this song.)
Wait for a bonus track at the end of the album.
"Superhero", his 2nd album, was recorded live. A few repeats from "ALBS", but the audience reaction makes it a different experience.
My favorites:
"Superhero": an interactive laughfest that demonstrates Stephen's ability to improvise, as the audience suggests superhero names you'll never see in the Justice League.
"Grandfather": Who knew evil could be so funny?
"Special Olympics": (the hidden bonus track) If you're going to Hell, this is the song that will be playing on the bus.
I highly recommend both of Stephen's albums, as well as his "Live at the El Rey" DVD, all of which are available here on amazon.com.
