Pros: Amazing vocals, wonderful message, mind-blowing music Cons: Runs long in some parts, hard to understand some plot lines
I have listened to many different versions of the RENT recordings, and I must say, there is something to be said for the originals. The soundtrack is worth every penny, minute, and day spent on it. With close to fifty tracks it tells a story that is both ...
Pros: Great music and message, CDs stand alone without having seen the live show or movie... Cons: ...Can be a bit racy at times, Mimi's voice can be annoying, pricey ($25-30)
Note: This review reveals minor details of the musical/movie's plot. The Broadway Musical, Rent, has gotten a lot of buzz recently due to it's theatrical release last year, but it's been on the stage since 1996. Jonathan Larson (who ...
Pros: Great Musical Score + Storyline. A Must Have. Cons: Deals with real life issues that aren't always happily ever after.
The Broadway US Tour was coming to my city and I was going to go see it but didn't know what to expect - so I bought this CD listened to it and read about it a little online on their main website. (Which I think that helped - because once you get there ...
Pros: mood and lyrics of these songs are diverse and fun! Cons: nothing...
After watching this musical, I knew I would have to either get the soundtrack or watch the actual performance over and over again. Buying the soundtrack was much more cost efficient. :)
This soundtrack contains every song from the musical in...
Pros: Great music, realistic topics, and not just oversized corperate fluff. Cons: Winded performers, bad sound engineering and it should have stayed in studio for another year.
Dont get me wrong I adore this show. Its just that I have been working in theater most my life and from a technical aspect the show was lacking one key cast member. And that would be a sound engineer that knew what he was doing. The sound was ok, and had...
Pros: Talented cast delivers Larson's lyrics with spunk, precision, and vitality Cons: You might not like these voices as much as ones on stage at the moment
The first time I saw RENT, I had no idea what to expect. I was on a class trip to NYC, and had purchased a ticket to the show because of all the hype I'd heard surrounding its release and its creator's subsequent death. Before the performance, I quickly...
Pros: A very entertaining cd to listen to whenever Cons: NOTHING
This cd is totally awesome because it contains the best songs from the musical 'RENT'. Some of the songs are humorous such as "La Vie Boheme" and some are sad such as "Life Support" but as a whole the cd is just about as good as they come. This is a CD...
Rent is the best show out there... but on to the cd.
I have listened to the cd numerous times and I know every word to every song. Teenagers like it more then adults do, but all the songs are still very memerable.
Pros: Great music, great lyrics, fun! Cons: some swears: not for children
Full of fun, upbeat songs but also including new classics like "Seasons of Love" and "Light my Candle," this soundtrack is one every Music-lover should have. The songs will make you laugh, make you cry and best of all make you dance! The drum tracks...
Pros: Some great songs, interesting characters, and an engaging storyline. Cons: If you can't take time to sit and get into Rent, it's not much fun.
Loosely based on the Puccini opera La Boheme, Rent was written by the unfortunately deceased Jonathan Larson(he died the night before the show opened in 1996). The Broadway musical(really more of a rock opera) deals with the relationships...
Pros: Powerful songs Cons: Can be hard to follow the first few listens
My wife brought this home for a listen before I knew nothing about RENT. It was a bit strange and hard to follow. Then I saw the show and it gave a new life to the CD.
Full of powerful songs and a great story based on Puccini's La Boheme....
Pros: GREAT music, interesting story (if you can follow it) Cons: CD is expensive - adult language and situations may offend some
Okay, the first time I had even heard of Rent was when our high school music teacher offered tickets at a ridiculously low price for the students and their parents to go, if they so desired. Having no idea what the storyline was, when my (then) 17 year...
Pros: A wonderful plot...music that rocks...and characters that anyone can relate to. Cons: The language (don't let your little sister listen to it)
When I first heard even a little of the music from this musical, I was appalled. Who dares to take the pure wholesome boringness of the everyday musical and rock it up a bit? Jonathan Larson does.
I'm not much into the whole artist scene. I'm an artist. But I don't usually _like_ the artist crowd. Therefore, I was wary of Rent. I was expecting something rather self-indulgent, a smoking, sexy, "I'm-way-too-deep-for-this" sort of thing--...
Pros: Music, storyline, setting, characters, etc.. Cons: Hard to follow without seeing the musical.
I originally bought this soundtrack because I am into musicals, and a friend of mine who is into them also saw this musical done a few years back and told me how great it was. So, I bought it and listened to it all the way through. It was a little hard...
Rent One of the longest-running shows (since 1996) in the history of Broadway, and one of its most beloved, RENT was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for D...
