3 STARS FOR THE TALENT by Mark Russo (UPSTATE NEW YORK)  3 Stars
June 15, 2009
when season 2 started ,i predicted lukas rossi or the rocker girl who hurt her ankle before the final show as winners.lukas won out and deserved to.
i would hardly call this a supergroup,save for tommy lee.gilby clarke is a great guitarist,and has some good cred behind him.jason newsted ...i dunno?
there are no real memorable songs here,but lukas shines anyway.the show was great with dave navarro joining the stage at times to play and pimp himself.
tommy miscalculated the crues busy schedule,and ultimately the band was put aside.
headspin,written by lukas was the best song on the album,though some songs deserve a listen.
for the price ,it is worth owning.

A Good Pop Rock Album by Stephen Mckergow (Kingston, On., Canada) 3 Stars
July 17, 2008
I can't help but think that many of the negative reviews for "Rock Star Supernova" stem from its TV show origins. The music on this CD is well crafted FM radio friendly rock that stands up well with anything else on the dial. Rock music is a highly commercial pop art form that is based on self promotion. But it seems that when a band is too obvious about its commercial promotion, fans of "real" rock start crying "sell-out" and preaching about artistic integrity.
Forget the origins of "Rock Star Supernova" or the personalities in the band, put the CD on, relax, and enjoy a good pop rock album.

Listenable, Yet Not Memorable... by Mr. Steven Fuhrman (Reseda, CA) 3 Stars
July 03, 2008
As a fan of classic Mötley Crüe, Guns N' Roses and Metallica, I really wanted to enjoy this album.
I watched the entire season of Rock Star: Supernova as Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and Jason Newsted searched for a lead singer for their newly-forming "supergroup" and never really had any love for Lukas Rossi, the person they chose to front the group. Still, I took a chance on the album and hoped that good production and energy would help me get beyond the feeling that this guy who reminded me of an Oompa-Loompa had talent that just didn't jive with my own personal tastes.
I have to admit that my expectations were rather low, and that although this album exceeded my expectations, it didn't WOW me. Overall, the music is very listenable, but it is also very forgettable. The track "Underdog" is probably one of the more catchy tunes, and if my memory is correct, the guitar riff from this piece was also used to cut in and out of commercials when the television show aired, which could be why it seems catchy.
When I heard the intro for "The Dead People", I thought to myself "Huh? What the heck is this?! But once the female vocalist stopped singing and the band kicked in, it didn't seem so out of place. Once has to wonder what their inspiration was to include that opening and to have a female in the chorus.
All in all, it isn't a bad album and I don't feel like I was cheated, but unless their second effort (if there ever is one) is more memorable, I highly doubt I'll spend the money to ever see them in concert.

A mildly interesting curio by Paul Lawrence (Australia) 3 Stars
April 11, 2008
Reviled in some quarters yet tolerated in others this disc from the respectably rating TV show sallies forth with a passable take on post grunge hard rock. The players are fairly well respected - they don't come much bigger than Tommy Lee, Gilby Clarke and Jason Newsted and it's probably the very stature of these guys that meant this concept got off the ground with rockheads in the first place.
The music - as mentioned above - is post grunge hard rock with plenty of hooks to get some airplay, just check out the chorus on Leave The Lights On. The songwriting credits are shared around a bit but it feels to me that the influences of Lee and Clarke were most keenly felt even on the tracks they didn't write on as there is a definite use of melody and also a boogie rock 'n' roll inflection that numbers such as Be Yourself (and 5 other cliches) which shows these boys as coming from a different generation to Nickelback and Creed, perhaps the two biggest post grunge hard rockers there are.
The inevitable ballads are nice enough in a pre-conceived sort of way with no real spark but vocalist Lukas Rossi does OK on them. He doesn't have the range of some rock /metal vocalists out there but his mid range set of pipes are probably just perfect for a sort of everyman appeal.
My favourite tracks? Leave The Lights On, Be Yourself (and 5 other cliches) and Underdog.
Least interesting? The ballads, not because they are ballads, it's just that they lack a certain X factor.
And that sums up this album which will probably have a curio sort of appeal to many hard rock fans and at a touch over 41 minutes it's not overly long/bloated and it's got decent production values and isn't 'muso' which was possible given the line up.
