Can someone help me fix the flawed artist labeling that iTunes provided?

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.

Absolutely loving the CR!! I got it 2 days ago and have already listened to it 6 times!! There are so many good moments I cant even pick specific ones out! Usually when i get a CR i find the songs that i like the best and listen to them but i have seriously listened to the whole thing straight through everytime!
And i LOVE I've Been, I remember hearing this song in the 2002 Workshop and loving it and being sad it was cut! so happy it has been brought back!

And "So Anyway" and "I am alive (reprise)" so heartbreaking and Aaron's "Hi Dad"
I am so looking forward to seeeing this show in July!

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"

I don't think he's off key, he's just starting on the F# (ti) and then goes up to G (do).

Bought the recording off itunes this morning (been in Spain since the 31st) and it's beautiful.

Jennifer Damiano's voice has improved vastly from Second Stage, and am I the only one who thinks Spencer sounds exactly like d'Arcy James at times?

Off all the songs that got cut since the Second Stage production, I miss Growing Up Unstable and Everything Anyone Ever Told You the most.

^Bobby Spencer does have some D'arcy James qualities, but he's certainly no Brian. I miss him....a lot.

does anyone think maybe Brian would come back to N2N after he is done with Shrek?...if N2N lasts that long...(I hope that it does)
