Inpop Records' sister-fronted band Superchick followed up 700,000 career albums sold and 70 film, television, and video game placements with the premiere of its boldest, most unapologetic project to date, 2008's appropriately-titled Rock What You Got.
Three years in the making, Rock What You Got came on the heels of Superchick's most successful album ever, Beauty From Pain, which landed three No. 1 radio singles, including "We Live" and "Stand In The Rain." With this album, Superchick 'rocks what they've got' and reinvents itself with a more progressive, in-your-face sound the band dubbed 'rock-o-tronic.'
Seeking out world changers in the lost corners of a generation, Superchick noisily challenges the status quo, while journaling the band members' battles with depression and cancer in the quieter moments of the record. Produced by the band's own Max Hsu (Superchick, tobyMac, newsboys), Rock What You Got features the stand-out title track in addition to the songs "Breathe," "Crawl," and "Cross The Line," for which Superchick's spring 2008 headlining tour was named, among others.

So far out of all the Superchick albums this is one of the most original ones they have done so far. They really stepped outside the box on this album. I hope this isn't the last album like this from Superchick.

I got the download of Alive for free and I really like it! It looks like they are staying to their roots music-wise. I heard 3 other songs on their myspace and also really liked them!
They Don't Quite Rock ALL They Got....| Posted June 25, 2008
I am actually kinda disappointed in all the bad reviews this album is getting. I personally LOVE this new "rock-o-tronic" sound. It's fresh and innovative, and it's something Superchick pulls off quite nicely. The album maintains the electronic sounds throughout the album, but mixes them with classic Superchick sounds and riffs. There are the more upbeat electric songs, (like the title track, Hey Hey, So Beautiful, and Alive); also guitar-heavy rock tracks (Cross The Line, One More); and its share of slower songs (Breathe, Crawl, Hold). The lyrics are also very crafty in the majority of RWYG, especially in "Alive" and "Cross The Line." My personal favorites on the album would be the very catchy, perfectly blended "Cross The Line", the odd-but-fun "Hey Hey," and the lyrical genius "Alive." I also like "Crawl," but it doesn't quite measure up to its full potential. It acts like it wants to be the next "Beauty From Pain," but just isn't as compelling.
Now for the negatives. The album only has 9 new tracks. The remaining 3 consists of an unnecessary "Alive Prelude," a pretty good remix of "Stand In The Rain", and a useless but intriguing "Guitar Hero" solo from Dave. The song "So Beautiful" would be the album's weakest track, with the lyrics being extremely similar to "Anthem"---nothing new here.
All in all, the album is short. But the new material presented here is superb, and is Superchick at its finest. I hope we don't have to wait 3 more years for the next album from Superchick.
