Title: Ick...
Product review: I love broadway. I love RHPS. I thought, therefore, that I would love this soundtrack, but I guess I just fell in love with the vocals from the movie version, because the songs from this album seemed all wrong to me. Despite the impressive performances of this cast, I found myself sorely missing the accents, inflections, and tones from the movie characters - particularly those of Little Nell, Susan Sarandon, and, most of all, Tim Curry. Call me old-fashioned, but I liked Columbia with that squeaky, cockney voice, Janet soft and high, and the way Frank belted out those strong, smoky notes with his amusing accent, and I just didn't enjoy the music nearly as much without these specific factors. In short, if you liked the music of Rocky Horror because of the instrumentals and lyrics, then this album may be fine for you, but if, like me, your enjoyment came as much from the actors' individual performances as from the songs themselves, I'd look elsewhere for my Rocky fix.
