Third party review: Jango/RadioAirplay
Overall Impression:
Well, it's safe to say, The Cosmic Alloy has done it yet again! Another marvelously quirky, humorous, and I think it's safe to say, a bit bonkers (I do mean this as a compliment) offering by a band that just know how to have fun, and in a time when we are continually being bombarded with a colossal amount of seriousness every day, this makes a welcome change. "Cyborg Superman", I mean the name says it all, is a bizarre and wonderfully wacky track that knows exactly what it is, and is completely unapologetic about it, rock on!


Strongest Point(s):
The lyrics are always a highlight of any Cosmic Alloy track, you really can't help but crack a smile whilst listening to them, and "Cyborg Superman" is no exception, brilliantly quirky and filled with a great helping of humor, they help cement the group's love for the slightly unconventional approach to songwriting, and it helps give the band it's certainly unique style and attitude. As with similar Cosmic Alloy tracks, "Cyborg Superman" takes a strong hard rock/prog approach, mixing dirty guitars, soaring lead solos, and fantastical synth flourishes to create a musically varied track that makes for a strong musical backdrop for the lead vocals to do their thing over.

lyrics

It was five years ago today when some punks came along and took my life away
I Was a glasses wearing skinny mannered man, in the field of cybernetics I was known across the land
Out with my daughter and my wife, to celebrate my little girl's sixteenth year of life
They came and knocked me on my balding head, then they kicked me hard and broke my spine and left me there for dead.
Waking in a hospital I could not move my legs, I asked for my girls but I was told that they were dead.
The cops said that they were beaten and that they were raped, revenge became my goal and for fuel I'd use my hate.

A cyborg superman, I'll become
A cyborg superman, you'll see
Cyborg superman I'll get justice
Cyborg Superman, for you and me.
Cyborg superman I'll bring'em down
Cyborg Superman and I will smash'em
Cyborg Superman There's no escape
Cyborg Superman cause I wont let'em

I continued my work in secret cybernetics, no one to stand by me and warn me about ethics
A new spine stronger legs, but why stop there I enhanced my arms, torso too and made my brain more aware.
Four years and six months the implants I did try, I could feel my neurons charging, so much pain I thought I'd die.
I pumped my arms and legs, I could feel the power swell. No more skinny man but a sight right out of hell

Cyborg superman, I'm out for justice
A cyborg superman, for people like us
Cyborg superman, I'm alive
Cyborg superman, I'm a ten ton tide.

It wasn't hard to find the ones who'd gone and changed my life, they were still a bunch of punks chasing another man's wife.
In a darkened alley they thought they’re having fun, but I appear and an electric bolt and now they lay there stunned.
The poor woman shocked and freaked, I let her run away. I shouted to her “tell’em Captain Cyborg saved the day”
To the punks no mercy they tried to beg and cry, but I could only laugh, grab their throats and watch them die.

Cyborg superman, here I come
Cyborg superman, my work's begun
Cyborg superman, they can't stop me
Cyborg superman, the cops will thank me.

Solos

I didn't end there I stopped a few more crimes that night, the next day social media broke and spoke about my might.
"Killer robots on the loose what has the world become", but I'll show them the truth and the criminals will run.
No mercy for the wicked, no mercy for corporate greed, no mercy for anyone I'll see that they all bleed
No more systems that let them through the cracks, no more lawyers it's time they watch their backs
It's my time now I'll be the chooser, I'll be law and order, judge and jury and the executioner
So walk the streets feel safe and mothers no more tears, it's the time all criminals its their time to fear.

Because I'm the Cyborg Superman, It's my time now
Cyborg Superman, to my wife I vow
I'm a Cyborg Superman, not from a comic book
A Cyborg Superman, taking back what they took

Cause I'm the Cyborg Superman, here I go
Cyborg superman, you oughta know
Cyborg superman, I wont turn back
Cyborg Superman, time to attack!

I'm a Cyborg Superman, no tights or cape
I'm a Cyborg Superman, none can escape
Cause I'm the Cyborg Superman, you'll all see
The dork in red and blue's got nothin' on me

Cyborg Superman, here I come
Cyborg Superman, bang the battle drum
Cyborg Superman, justice for all,
Keep your eyes wide open and watch the bodies fall
Cyborg Superman.
