Free Music Notes for Supernova
Free Music Review: This is a great, catchy rock n' roll record
Hit: 5 Stars
It's a real shame that a segment of those who purchase this disc will do so with their minds already made up about Lukas Rossi (though I suppose the unwavering choosing of sides is one of the built-in limitations of a months-long televised singing competition). The truth of the matter is, if you come into this with an open mind (regardless of your stance on Lukas) you will absolutely jam to this great disc. It is truly rocking and catchy in every way, with nearly all 11 tunes memorable (even the slightly off-kilter "The Dead Parade" begins to stick after repeated spins). Great, heavy drums and growling basslines create solid bottom-end thumping throughout, and Gilby Clarke's axe work is stellar (check out his wicked solo in "Underdog" for a start). And then there is the aforementioned Mr. Rossi. I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince the anti-Lukas crowd that he is the man (though I am a huge fan and marvel at the depth of emotion he brings to every song he sings). I just wish that the band not selecting Dilana or Tobey wouldn't have created such a backlash among those that championed them. The band really rocks, and the songs are terrific. They deserve to succeed based on these facts alone. So, as you peruse these various reviews, pay particular attention to why it is that those who claim to hate this record really do -- I think you'll find an undercurrent of "sour grapes" as the real culprit, and it's a shame. This is an awesome disc.

This Is the Take - 3:18 8 Headspin - 4:04 9 Valentine - 4:27 10 Social Disgrace - 3:04 11 The Dead Parade - 5:28For a band whose individual members each captured the spotlight in the '80s and '90s, it should come as no surprise that the music of Rock Star: Supernova (a quartet comprised of Tommy Lee of Motley Crue, Jason Newsted of Metallica, Gilby Clarke of Guns 'N' Roses, and 2006 reality-show winner Lukas Rossi) strongly hearkens back the sound of that era. Their chosen frontman Rossi, a Toronto-based singer/songwriter, has some impressive pipes, moving effortlessly from falsetto to raunchy guttural growls throughout the disc. No amateur, Rossi previously worked with Canadian bands I Mother Earth and the Tea Party, as well as Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson. The strongest tracks from the disc are unsuprisingly ones the group performed repeatedly on the series. Rossi's original number, the emotional (if somewhat erratic) "Headspin" fits in well with the prescribed other material, while "It's All Love" is both accessible and enjoyable enough to work on Top-40 radio. The unquestionable standout, however, is disc opener "It's On" within which Rossi's soprano chorus of "let it shine on" evokes the very best aspects of Radiohead's Thom Yorke's falsetto fronting a Smashing Pumpkins-style track. There are a few unfortunate tunes ("Underdog," "The Dead Parade") that contain a plethora of rock clichés but lack authenticity. That said, the aforementioned gorgeousness of the opening track shows great promise, making this a band to keep an eye on in the future. --Denise Sheppard
