This album came out today. I'm currently listening to it for the third time since I got it a few days back. It's essentially a convoluted Clive Barker-esque love story of ~Good VS Evil~ presented by emo rock band Forgive Durden, and filled with all the similarly adenoidal guest vocals the dude could round up.

The only thing funner than a new cast recording? An ill conceived concept album based on what some pop-rockers think musicals sound like. Basically what Spring Awakening would have been if someone hadn't thrown a legitimate staging behind it.

So what's everyone's favorite "musical" concept album?

Quadrophenia, hands down. Followed by Tommy.
