I wish it was more of a complete cast recording with less Bono (i just want to scream 'get off the damn album' when he starts singing).I think we could have done without ‘Rise Above 1’ that is not from the show and had one of the tracks that has been left off (like the opening song).
I love
Boy Falls From the Sky (Great song, great vocals)
Walk Away (Stunning song)
The Fight Music - NY Debut (Feels exciting just listening to it)
Bouncing Off the Walls (I’ve always really liked this song, great rock song)
Pull the Trigger (Love how dark this song is)
No More (stunning, Reeve and Jen sound great)
If the World Should End (Always liked this one)
A Freak Like Me ( I know some don’t like it but i think it’s great, very 80s synths, lots of fun, almost military),
Rise Above 2 - (The actual Rise Above, beautiful)
Turn off the Dark - (Love TV's voice on this)
Dont like
Picture This
Sinistereo
It’s a pretty good album, not the complete cast album we were hoping for but still good. Listening to the whole thing i have to say the music stands up very well, it has a great energy, the rock numbers work, the ballads are stunning etc. I like a lot of songs on this and hate a couple, but i'm like that with most musicals. I'm shocked at the level of negativity thrown at the music in this show, i can't help thinking that some is purely because it does not sound like musical theatre....at all.
I will be buying it.
Namo i love u but we get it already....you don't like Madonna
