Springfield grew considerably as a writer between his first record and
Comic Book Heroes. Although he is still doing some sensitive singer/songwriter material, it no longer sounds as awkward. In fact, a couple tracks, like "Weep No More," are very memorable. On the other hand, "Misty Water Woman" sounds like an overly-melodramatic attempt at being
Elton John. Still, the good stuff makes it worth owning. ~ Jim Worbois
