Haha

. I'm so glad you loved it. I was sure that whoever came to review it will say it's boring or something or not even listen to it all the way through. That song was kind of a hit in the 80s. Can you believe it?

Wow. I'm totally with Kaimon on this one. Great song! I'm definitely going to have to check out some Laurie Anderson.

It's from Big Science (1982). The whole album is great, but O Superman is a stand out. There's also United States Live box set, a recording of her performance with all 'songs' from Big Science and many, many more. Basically spoken word pieces with performance and video art.

I just downloaded Big Science. I'm definitely looking forward to giving it a listen.

I've heard a lot about that live album. It's HUGE, isn't it? I was going to get it, but I figure I should hit up an album first to see if I'd really even enjoy hearing x^5 discs by an artist I might not even like.

But yeah, song was amazing, I'm getting the album, etc...

^^It's definitely a good idea to listen to Big Science first and then maybe go for the live box set.

It was pretty badass! The instrumentals were the best, starts really repetitive and then they get really interesting and intense. I'm not a big fan of the vocals, but they definitely added alot to the song. Thank you.

8.9 / 10.0
It's really not the sort of music I'm immediately attracted to, but I gave it a listen. The only problem I really have with heavier music of any sort tends to be because of the vocals, but the vocals on this weren't half bad. This was really well done, very strong instrumental work, and very acceptable vocals. Not bad at all.
