This is purely to state how amazing I think the Taboo OBCR is!
Euan sounds so great! "Stranger In This World" gets me emotional...but Raul's "Petrified" is like being stabbed in the heart! It's so incredible and its like being in the theatre watching him knock you off your feet! (minus the fake-looking stage blood!)
Thoughts or Comments on it anyone ?

I think "PETRIFIED" is the most incredible song in this Universe, so I am with ya

I didnt even mind the fake blood...after all....Philip bleeds all over that number, & I wouldnt really want Raul punched in the face....lmao

I will be playing that CD 24/7

In agreement about Raul being punched in the face! Fake blood will do!

It's on repeat over here! Can't wait for the signing tomorrow!

I am so jealous! I am in CT and I can't find it for sale anywhere! Luckily, I am going to NYC this weekend so I am going to pick up a copy at Virgin.

omg it is soooooooo awesome!!!!!
i have to say that even tho stanger to world and petrefied are wonderful, the best songs on the CD are "Love's a Question Mark" and "Come in From the OUtside." Beautiful music!!!!!
and i hope this CD makes people realize that Raul Esparza DESERVES THE TONY!!!!!!

To say there's a best song on the CD does the other songs a disservice

This cd is my new favorite thing ever, and Raul Esparza is my new favorite person ever. I still can't get over how beautiful they all sound on here... I'm playing it right now.

Ruffian, the thought of Raul being punched in the face makes me want to cry.

It's so amazing. "Petrified" (I'm actually listening to it now) gave me chills, just listening to it on the cd. I also love "Out of Fashion" and of course "Stranger in This World".

"Out of Fashion" is my fav---I recall knowing that I would DEFINITELY be buying the CD during that song when I saw the show.

I wish they had included "Touched by the Hand of Cool" on the
Broadway CD. Guess I'll just have to listen to the London CD.

Well they couldn't have put Touched on the Broadway CD since it wasn't in the Broadway version.

Well, I got the cd today (thank you God!) and I love it. They all sound amazing on it but I especially love Raul - the man could sing the phone book and I would swoon! :)

it is so incredible.

i think sarah uriate berry shines on this as well.

I think I'm alone here, but...

I find it terribly uneven. There are some kick-ass ballads, and a couple of other catchy tunes -- but there are some STINKERS!

Especially terrific: "Stranger In This World", "Pretty Lies", "Petrified", "Love is Question Mark", "I See Through You".

Horrifying: "Ich Bin Kunst", "Dress to Kill", "Genocide Peroxide", "I'll Have You All".

Boy George might have actually given Stephen Schwartz and the Avenue Q writers a run for their money in the Tony race if there were some consistency in the writing. Let's hope he keeps on writing!

ITS FABULOUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

"Let's hope he keeps on writing!"

Hmmmm...The reception he received will hardly have encouraged him.

Is it out everywhere? So I can get it at a Borders in Ohio now?

Boy George has already said he would be interested in writing another musical. I dont know why he wouldn't? This was a fine Score, & so what if he had some critics....who doesn't?
