Now. Here. This. on itunes

What does everyone think? They broke my number one cast album rule pet peeve. I absolutely HATE tracks that fade out at the end, but other than that it sounds fantastic. The harmonies sound great and it's neat to see all the names of the people that helped fund the album in the digital booklet.

I'm in love and have had it on repeat the whole day. I cried on the bus while listening to "Golden Palace". Bravo [tos] gang. You've done it again.

Just got my signed copy. Glad they got it made. Sounds really nice and brings back memories of the show. Heidi, especially, knocks her solos out of the park. The photos of the cast when they were kids inside the booklet was a cute addition.

I know a lot of people who really loved the show, so maybe you had to see it, but I'm listening to the album now and it's kind of precious. Annoyingly so.

I'm having the same moment as you, Emcee. It's very cloying to me.

The cutesy thing worked for me well enough in [tos] because it had the meta thing going for it, too, and that was interesting. But this? Meh.

Been listening to it daily since I got it last week. I identified with TOS a lot and a signficant portion of this as well. Hunter's songs I would define as a little on the "precious" side and probably the most minor of the CD, but I found "Golden Palace" deeply moving and several other songs hilarious and heartbreaking at the same time.

If you're looking for it on Spotify, you have to search Now.Here.This. and click on the Finale track. That's the only way to the album. Took me much longer than it should have to find it. They haven't cataloged it in search as an album title and only labeled the actors "Original Cast."

The recording is really good. The mix is great. I didn't miss a lyric on the first playthrough.

The material itself is interesting. I knew it was a show of vignettes, but I still didn't quite pick up on all the little stories and how they start to link together the first time through. It makes more sense now--even some of the songs that left me cold the first time around. I really love the demo That'll Never Be Me. Such a sweet song.

I'm still bummed that Jeff's song about having a boyfriend didn't make it past the workshop version. I found that better than the final show.

I could listen to Heidi sing anything though and "This Time" is the highlight of the show for me.

Undistinguished musically.
Complete drivel in all other aspects.
