Title: Not anywhere close to the original cast
Product review: To reiterate what was said below, this is NOT the original cast or anything close to sounding like one. This is evident from the opening track, when the singer of Rafiki sounds suspiciously like the singer of the child simba (!) right on through the inauthentic sounding chant tracks. The harmonies have been made harsher, and the sound generally grates on the ear throughout, even when the singers aren't horribly mangling the notes or text.It isn't quite deserving only of one star (in part because the genius of the show's music still shines through in places, in part because a few tracks aren't all that bad), you still should banish all thought of purchasing this CD from your mind.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
