Rock Star Supernova

It seems like whenever I wait for a CD to come out, two or three others I've been waiting for come out the same day. So as I went to the store to buy that Tom Waits collection, the Rock Star Supernova album also was released. Rock Star: Supernova was one of the few shows I've been addicted to in the last few years, and Lukas Rossi makes a phenomenal frontman for a band so I figured I should buy the album since I spent so much time in front of the tv watching the show. After one listen I must say that it is the best album ever known to man. Okay, it's not that great. It's not even great. It's pretty mediocre actually. You would think with Butch Walker producing it and cowriting most of the songs that it could have been pretty great, but nope. But I guess the whole project was pretty rushed since they had to capitalize on the success of the show. I don't blame them, since INXS have already been dropped by their record label one year after their Rock Star Show. However, the album does sound great and Lukas' definitely sounds great singing. Maybe some of the songs will grow on me, but so far the album is pretty 50/50.
