I bought this recently as I was looking for a new cd to brighten up my music collection and i'd heard a little about Rocky Horror and knew the song 'The Time Warp' so I thought i'd give it a go as it seemed good... I certainly don't regret buying it at all!
The songs are so catchy I can't get them out of my head and just by listening to the cd you get the jist of the story.
I was lucky enough to be able to see Rocky Horror the other day as they were touring at our theatre and the cd is just the same as the show which is brilliant as everytime I listen to the cd now I get the great memories of a fantastic show.
This cd takes you into the strange world of Rocky Horror which is a fantastic experiance.
This cd does not disappoint and well worth the money, i've never listened to a cd so much!
I'm now a complete Rocky Horror fan!
About the music... I am going to give this CD 5 stars because I think it's an excellent interpretation of the play, if you ask me what are my favourite tracks on it, I'd say the versions of "the Time Warp", "Super Heroes" and "Eddie's Teddy".
If I have any criticism about the recording it's about the actual actors, and shouldn't make you not buy it because of that. I thought the Janet's voice was far too brassy to play a Janet (sounded more like a Magenta to me), for example.
If you're looking for *originality* of interpretation etc, then there isn't that much new here that hasn't been done before, although I like the more "rocky" (that's as in rock-music-orientated, dears!) arrangement of the music, it was "heavier" and "thicker" than some of the recordings I've heard (original London cast comes to mind.).
If you saw the show and enjoyed it then you'll love this recording, and if you're just an avid collector of Rocky soundtracks.... then you should get it, because you'll enjoy it :) Just don't expect anything really *new*.
