N2N Soundtrack — Page 8

I can't stand having cast recordings with a ton of artist listings on my iTunes anyway. I end up renaming it all to the show's name. It's a thing.

There are wonderful moments on this CD, and there are some pretty bad ones. I really think whoever is producing CDs with rock scores for Sh-K-Boom needs to take some classes from legitimate rock producers. Maybe it's fooling the theatre kids who listen to 75%+ showtunes, but those of us who still listen to more rock than cast recordings will definitely notice the weakness there.

During the more traditional "rock" sections, the instrumentation sounds so subdued and separate from the vocals, like they can't figure out the mix to join these voices with the guitar and drum behind them. I'm not a music professional, so it's a struggle for me to really explain what's off besides saying it just sounds kind of lame.

Has anyone else noticed that Adam sounds off-key in Perfect For You (Reprise) from 1:57-2:03

when he sings

"Cause crazy is perfected, and f*cked up is perfect"
