What a fuckin' bop. It's like a cooler version of Azealia Bank's 1991.
The middle is a bit forgettable, but god the ends of this sound sausage is delectable.
A heartbreaking and frustrating delve into the impact of untreated BPD on a family. It can be a little over dramatic and aggressive with the portrayal of the condition and by extension the rock theme. But as the show goes, like the condition, it changes and the 2nd half is especially powerful.
It takes a few listens but at some point it will click and every detail will come together to make sense of this funky reimagination of Romeo and Juliet that still feels incredibly modern.
Flawless. The music stands on its own as well as a single piece. Telling multiple stories that come together as a collective experience that speaks to the physical and emotional sacrifices of chasing a dream. There's a reason why it ran for so long. It's endlessly listenable and timeless.
The music is superb. The show... meh. But the music is out of this world. Every single track. Every line. Every note. Even the songs that probably don't need to exist. Even with the questionable accents. Even with the islamophobia. It's utterly perfect and i wouldn't change a thing. I wish i could make something so messy, so... offensive. and yet so perfect.
One of the greatest musicals of all time. I highly recommend the original recordings with Michael Rupert, but this rendition is still wonderful.
I adore the broadway spins on my favorite jagged little pill songs.
A beautifully well composed musical from tip to nuts.
Utterly uninspired with some actual bangers.
Lots of low points to balance out the high points, but boy are those high points real high.
Some of the greatest musical lyrics of all time IMO. A generational piece.
Kinda cool if you are familiar with the source material and the featured talent, but ultimately pretty boring.
"If You Can Count" is truly special though. One of those songs you know drive this idea from the start. Ms .Lauryn Hill and all. It really makes you wish this was better.
Quirky little record that only grows more endearing with each listen.
