Supernatural is I suppose your typical CW show. A series with campy values, a small but extremely dedicated fan base and has been on the air for a long time. Supernatural for anyone who isn’t familiar with it is a show about 2 brothers traveling the country and fighting evil along the way as they search for their missing father and avenge their mother’s death. Along the way they fight your typical horror movie creatures such as vampires and other demonic beings. Anyway, in most cases these type of scores are for the dedicated fans and usually don’t appeal to the outsiders who never watched the series (like me). Is this the same case? No. Thankfully so. Jay Gruska is a TV veteran with tons of shows under his belt so episodic TV is no stranger to him. Christopher Lennertz is an amazing composer who started off doing low profile movies mostly made for TV and then rose through the video game ranks and is now one of today’s premiere talents. This release is more or a less a series of suites compiled from 5 seasons worth of score. It’s unfortunate they couldn’t get single season releases, but I guess something is better than nothing, right? On my initial listen I didn’t check to see who composed what because I wanted to experience the soundscape as a whole. I gravitated to some tracks more than others and I guess I wasn’t surprised when I checked and saw the ones I liked most were Lennertz’s. While Gruska’s music has that campy feel I do feel it’s just too shallow and not enough emotional depth. Although the track “Americana” did surprise me. Lennertz brings a more organic feel to the music and the emotions he conveys come through clear with simple arrangements. While the music isn’t anything brilliant that must be heard it definitely has its own special character and creates a unique atmosphere. You won’t be able to escape the inevitable ominous tones that TV shows like this bring, but there are some great melodies in here especially from Lennertz.
