Although the few Mushroomhead fanatics lurking about on Sputnik will say that XIII was the band's creative peak, I personally believe such an honor goes to their second full-length album Superbuick. Yeah, it isn't exactly groundbreaking nor is it quite philosophical, but the Cleveland, Ohio group shined in the musicianship department here. The sampling is perhaps the only real issue I can find within this release, but then again, the outfit's self-titled debut which came before Superbuick had a pretty godawful amount of these as well. If vocalists Jeffrey Nothing and J Mann encounter some bungles, they find their way around them, whilst Bronson and Shmotz incorporate fresh, keyboard-like elements to the overall sound that is otherwise sort of dated due to the production quality. As a whole, MRH's sophomore effort just felt absolutely right regarding almost every aspect.
