Superheaven已经有10年没有制作音乐了，但是近年来，它们的声望比在一起的速度要快。

Superheaven haven’t made music in 10 years, but they’ve been gaining prestige faster in recent years than they ever did when they were together.

Superheaven已经有10年没有制作音乐了，但是近年来，它们的声望比在一起的速度要快。

Out of nowhere, in 2023, they hit it big on TikTok with ‘Youngest Daughter’, a track from their 2013 debut Jar, which has been streamed on Spotify 145million times. For fans of the band, this has worked out nicely, culminating in a sold-out Jar anniversary tour in 2023 and, now, a brand-new album.

在2023年，他们在Tiktok上与“最小的女儿”（Tiktok）击中了这一曲目，这是他们2013年首次亮相罐子的曲目，该曲目已在Spotify 1.45亿次播放。对于乐队的粉丝来说，这已经很好地奏效了，最终在2023年的一次售罄的罐子周年纪念巡回演出中，现在是一张全新的专辑。

That album might be titled simply Superheaven, but from its opening riff on the track Humans For Toys, it’s clear that this is a slightly different Superheaven. For one thing, they’ve never sounded so metallic. As on other tracks across the album like Cruel Times and Long Gone, this riff is heavy, bordering on sludgey. The production, too, is heavier-handed, with tones smoothed and made huge to drive home those big riffs.

这张专辑的标题可能是Supterheaven，但是从Track Humans for Toys上的开幕式即兴演奏，很明显，这是一个略有不同的超人。一方面，他们从未听起来如此金属。就像在专辑中的其他曲目中一样，如残酷的时代和早已消失，这次即兴演奏很沉重，与污泥接壤。制作也较重，音调平滑，并使其巨大驱车回家。

The power of Superheaven’s previous records came from the immediacy and tactility that nodded to the band’s punk roots. On Superheaven, it comes from this enormity. While the new style sacrifices some fire, it creates a sense of maturity: heightened stakes, and the accrued wisdom to cope with them.

Superheaven先前唱片的力量来自于乐队的朋克根源点头的即时性和触觉。在超赫文上，它来自这种巨大。虽然新风格牺牲了一些火，但它会产生一种成熟感：赌注增强，以及应付智慧来应对它们。

As if to demonstrate that right off the bat, opener Humans For Toys is perhaps the most nakedly political track they’ve ever put out. “Children burned alive / Money’s everything,” vocalist Taylor Madison sings, in a rebuke of war that’s hard not to read as an observation of attacks on Gaza. On the other side of the coin, Cruel Times is a love song about long-term devotion that could just about be described as feel-good – definitely a rarity in the band’s usually dark catalogue.

仿佛要立即证明这种玩具的揭幕战可能是他们曾经推出的最纯粹的政治道路。歌手泰勒·麦迪逊（Taylor Madison）在战争的谴责中唱着：“孩子们活着 /金钱的一切，”这是对加沙攻击的观察。在硬币的另一侧，残酷的时代是一首关于长期奉献的情歌，它可以被描述为感觉很好 - 绝对是乐队通常的黑暗目录中的稀有性。

That said, the intense and doomy catharsis that the band have thus far traded in is still ever-present on Superheaven. Hopelessness and isolation are the overwhelming themes of the record. Closing track The Curtain is crushing as Madison sings, “I feel like half a human being,” while Long Gone is almost spiritual in its despair. That catharsis feels like an important throughline to the band’s identity.

也就是说，迄今为止，乐队所进行的紧张和疾作的宣泄仍然在超赫文上存在。绝望和孤立是记录中压倒性的主题。麦迪逊唱着“我觉得自己就像是人类的一半”时，窗帘的闭合曲目令人沮丧，而早已消失的绝望几乎是精神上的。宣泄感觉就像是乐队身份的重要贯穿线。

There are lyrical glimpses throughout the album to the stakes of their reunion. When Madison sings, “We were never meant to come back,” on Cruel Times, he likely refers to overcoming the odds in his relationship, but it’s easy to imagine the double meaning that will arise when the band play it live. Likewise, on Sounds of Goodbyes, a song explicitly about Superheaven’s hiatus and reunion, co-frontman Jake Clarke sings: “It’s a spark of a new life.” This new life is different from the old one, but it’s got plenty to offer Superheaven fans.

在整张专辑中，有抒情的瞥见。当麦迪逊唱歌时，“我们从来没有打算回来”，在残酷的时期，他可能是指克服他的恋爱关系的几率，但很容易想象乐队演奏时会产生的双重含义。同样，在Goodbyes的声音上，一首关于Superheaven的中断与聚会的歌曲，共同福特曼·克拉克（Jake Clarke）唱歌：“这是新生活的火花。”这种新的生活与旧生活不同，但是有很多东西可以为超汗的粉丝提供。
