I think its important to note that it's a CONCEPT ALBUM. The arrangements/sounds on the CONCEPT ALBUM may not reflect the arrangements/sounds of the SHOW versions.

If that were the case why then would he have gone and re-reorchestrated the shole thing and re-record it as he did last year, Yes it may sound more "lush" but Im sure as far as ALW is concerned, the music is noe frozen. But let's hope it does a sunset and gets a good re-vamping before premiering in the US

Is anybody else still able to hear the preview clips? Just wondering if I'm missing a download or something.
Have to tell you guys - reading some of the comments, geez, some people are sharpening their knives and can't wait to rip ALW to shreds. I for one am pretty excited. The guy is passionate about the story and the characters. Looking forward to seeing what he came up with.
Haven't seen or heard that type of energy from ALW since Sunset. For full disclosure - I've enjoyed his works since then - but nothing has really blown me away in all aspects of music, set, story, acting since Sunset. Im hoping this will be it.
