Well, it's about freakin' time! I've been waiting forever for them to release a soundtrack of the original music to this great show.
BE AWARE, FOLKS: This is the ORIGINAL music that was written specifically for the show. (Hence the title--Supernatural: Original Television Soundtrack.) It is NOT the classic rock that was recorded by other artists and requires the purchasing of additional rights and is under copyright to other entities. There are plenty of sites that list which classic rock song(s) were used in which episode, and if they're not already in your collection, you can download those songs from such sites as iTunes and create your own classic rock soundtrack. It just takes a little more effort.
But this! This is the music I could never successfully find anywhere else! This is Dean's guitar riff, a longtime favorite of mine. This is the hard-driving music that accompanied the Winchester break-in at the auction house in "Provenance." This is the end credit music--extended! THIS is the stuff I've been waiting for! And the titles are hilarious!
But not only does it have the rockin' original riffs, it's got the soft, melodic pieces that pull at your heart strings, the songs that speak of the brothers' emotional journey, their deepest hurts and their fondest memories.
I admit I'm something of a soundtrack/score/original cast recording geek, so this fits right in with the rest of my collection. But really, there is so much awesome here. I'm also glad I got the CD rather than downloading, because the CD comes with liner notes.
My only disappointment is that it doesn't include the theme song to Supernatural the sit-com from "Changing Channels." That would have been classic.

This, my friends, is the SCORE from the awesome TV series. No, it does not contain the classic rock often played in the show-that stuff's all copywritten/various artists. But this instrumental background music is WONDERFUL. it's tense and riveting, often tapped with humor. The music is titled with tongue-in-cheek humor (#5 is "Dean's Dirty Organ) But ignore it. The music is WORTH HAVING! Especially if you appreciate classical music and movie scores. My fave so far is #5, a song designed with the boys in mind. Very acute in describing the brothers. The music is performed with a full orchestra and hits you with suspense; the tension is well performed. The other fave is #3 "Isn't It Bro-mantic?" (tongue-in-cheek humor) But again, ignore the dory title. it's a beautiful piece of music.
Yeah, I strongly recommend the CD, and not just because I'm a fan, but because I love music in general.

Great Suites From The Show That Are Surprisingly Accessible To Those Who Don't Watch The Show
September 14, 2010
Format:Audio CD
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.... Read more ›

Well first off if you already scrolled down far enough to read this you should have already seen the track list for this CD. If you did you would have seen that this CD is for the ORIGINAL SCORE/SOUNDTRACK created specifically for the show SUPERNATURAL.
The CD recieved a handful of bad reviews from 6 or 7 people, not because the product is of poor quality or the songs are bad; but because those few idiots bought the CD without actually bothering to look at the track list or sampling the preview for each track. They were all so excited, expecting to buy a CD with all the Classic Rock songs created by other artists like AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Boston etc. but instead ended up with the ORIGINALLY CREATED Soundtrack/Score instead. And because they were giant morons instead of kicking themselves for buying something without reading it they trashed a fantastic CD for no reason at all. Again it goes without saying: MORONS!!!
Now on to the reivew of the actual CD itself. It has an amazing set list and has all the songs that any fan of Supernatural has been looking and waiting for and haven't been able to find.....till now!!! This Soundtrack is amazing even though it's all instrumental, from the awesome guitar riffs to the calm and touching melodies from the more somber moments in the show. This music is really worth owning, but I would ignore the different titles for each track, they seem to be more humorous then descriptive for example: "Gratuitous Sex and Violins"
I would strongly recommend this CD. Whether you're a fan of the show or not I would recommend this to anyone who is a fan of good instrumental music.

Supernatural:Original television Soundtrack - Seasons 1-5
I like this cd and listen to it while I do my bike exercises. I thought there would be more vocal like I hear during the t.v. series, but mostly just nonvocal.

Its like living in an episode of Supernatural!
I love the original score. The music is equally beautiful and creepy. It portrays the dramatic elements of the show, and puts chills down my spine. Read more
