I haven't listened to the cast album yet, but I saw the show live twice. I don't think Preludes will be counted as Malloy's best work, alas. Maybe I'm jaded, but I remember reading the show was funded by a grant, so he had to get something out. It's hard to create on schedule.
I believe he also received funding for Great Comet, but I guess for that one he found the inspiration he needed. Just my opinion.
