Crobot plays a more modern version of classic heavy rock music, with roots way back in history. There's undeniably some great music presented on Something Supernatural and it's definitely a groovy kind of feeling that embraces the album all throughout, which nevertheless also sort of contributes to making the album seem a little monotonous when seeing it as a whole package.

Brandon Yeagley's vocals unquestionably take big part in the overall atmosphere. The sound picture is decidedly adjusted to bring out the empathy of older material and to build a seductive impression with its rougher kind of production. No doubt about it, the guys are talented, but it seems like I'm more impressed by the band's feeling and dedication, than by the actual quality of the songs in total.

Although the band is able to combine different elements of hard rock and also is impressive in the approach of bringing on the classic bits and pieces and the solid flow in the music, it never reaches those kick-ass moments, which hypothetically could have been capable of turning this release into a mind-blowing experience, instead of just being a somewhat satisfactory effort.
