4.0 out of 5 stars
Likable Brit-pop type sound,
This review is from: It Doesn't Matter Anymore (Audio CD)
A top 10 album in Britain on release, this title by the Scottish 5-peice creates a stylish pop sound. The fast songs such as Smile and Lazy Lover are a breath of fresh air, especially in the light of today's Coldplay-dominated UK scene. The humnour to the lyrics, which is slightly self-depreciating and a little gloomy, is neat, and the way the lyrics and music contrast still sees the music take over, and will get you singing along. The gentler songs like Pie In the Sky and Glimpse Of teh Light work well, the latter's opening lyric in particular is a classic - 'You left a big hole, bigger than one the council would have dug'. A good record by an under-appreciated band

Freewheeling Neo-Beatles,
By A Customer
This review is from: It Doesn't Matter Anymore (Audio CD)
This rollicking collection of melodic, sunny Britpop suggests Morrissey on a sugar high. The Scottish Supernaturals eschew the spare production and fashionable self-indulgence popularized by Oasis and Travis in favor of exuberantly orchestrated shots of musical optimism like the slinky, sexy "Lazy Lover"; "Smile," a commanding and choric ode to happiness; and "The Day Before Yesterday's Man," which canters along like a souped-up Beatles anthem, trimmed with ethereal falsetto harmonies and jangly electric guitar. The band explores a moodier climate with "Please Be Gentle With Me" -- all nigh-sinister bass and oversexed vocals -- and the handsome "Dung Beetle." Other highlights include the crunching "Stammer," with its petulant lyrics ("When I said that you were ugly/ I meant your personality"), and the airy "Love Has Passed Away," an almost bizarrely cheerful elegy for lost romance. Less weighty than Robbie Williams but similarly raffish, this cheeky, charming, smoothly produced album should appeal to fans of just-off-the-mainstream pop a la James and Texas. Also recommended is their even giddier, albeit shaggier, sophomore effort, "A Tune A Day."

A sunny Britpop sing-along. Great debut.,

This review is from: It Doesn't Matter Anymore (Audio CD)
The more I listen to this CD, the more I find it difficult to narrow-down the myriad of influences I hear. An extraordinary UK release bubbling under music radar in North America. 'It Doesn't Matter Anymore' combines a hybrid of Britpop and glam hit by sunny-dewed harmonies. Confused? Just think Jellyfish meets Oasis, Dodgy meets The Brian Jonestown Massacre, or Brian Wilson's take on mid-90's Britpop. The indie-rock sounds are obvious on the Supernaturals debut, but add to the formula a retro 60's feel (typical of bands from the Elephant Six label) combined with a T Rex-type swagger. What stands-out are these colorful backing harmonies, breezy ooo's and ahh's that draw from Jellyfish, Super Furry Animals and Sloan, to early Beatles and The Who. 'It Doesn't Matter Anymore' is glossy sun-drenched power-rock, seeping of glam attitude, with infectious 60's melodies. There's something in this CD for everyone.
