"It is not often that a group is able to release two excellent albums in a row, much less in the same year. Yet Superchic[k] did just that in 2002, releasing "Karaoke Superstars" in January and "Last One Picked" in October. The themes and sound for each album are quite different from each other, but the group does a great job with each."Last One Picked" takes a look at high school, how it can affect a person's life, and how we can grow out of what they label a high-school mentality. This album will appeal not only to teens who are currently in high-school, but also adults who either can still see school in their rear-view mirrors or still bear the scars from that time in their life.Although each song has a message to get across, many of the songs are also just super-fun to listen to ("Na Na" "Wonder (If She'll Get It)" and "Rock Stars").Superchic[k] ends the album with a great song about living with our past and how God loves us ("We All Fall"). This is a very short song (less than 2 minutes) that simply states it's message. When it finishes, however, let the CD continue to play. There is a surprise remix song that will start after a couple of minutes."

"This CD was basically good. It was very inspiring, and it made you feel good. It was one of those CDs that is ideal to listen to when you're depressed or looking for good times. I especially liked the songs "Real", "Hero", "Stand Up", "We All Fall", and "Rock Stars". They all have a mellow, poprock sound. The reason I gave it a four was because all of the songs basically sounded alike, except slightly different. Still very good, and if I were you, I'd buy it."

"After purchasing thier first album, I found it to be a great CD to drive to, or just chill with your friends and listen to it. Superchick really digs into the heart of problems that teens face during this time. I loved this CD and though the "song for Tricia" in my opinion needed to be a little longer, the band is showing a very promising future in Christian Rock. This CD is only one of the few that I play when I am depressed, or happy. And there are very few CD's that can do both. The stimulating lyrics and some great guitar playing make this CD a must have! You will not be dissapointed."
Exellent

"Superchic[k] is back with an all new album. Armed with upbeat lyrics and amped up pop Superchic[k]'s latest album, Last One Picked is definitely an album worth purchasing. The band breaks free of traditional pop, infusing their songs with punk and other influences. The result is an energetic sound all their own. The music itself varies from the almost overwhelmingly energetic So Bright to the piano ballad We All Fall. The message, however, is always the same. The band encourages their listeners to get up and take charge over their own life. They defy the very idea of a pop band as they reject popular culture's idea that only certain people are important. They sport lyrics that encourage people to try, even if they fail. Their music is both inspiring and fun. It is next to impossible to keep from dancing as song after song infuses the atmosphere with energy. The only downside to the album is it's length. With only eleven songs, you will inevitably be left wanting more. That, however, does not make it not worth purchasing. To not hear this album is to miss out on an amazing blend of stimulating lyrics and astonishing music."
