Summary: Stars of Indy Rock Illuminate Androgyne Rockopera Extravaganza
Comment: Holy-crap this album is awesome! I mean, how in the world did it happen? How was a show as great as this ever assembled? Frank Black, the Breeders, Cindy Lauper, The Polyphonic Spree and Yoko Ono, just scratch the tip of this tributary ice-berg. Each song on the disc is a loving recreation from the original play/movie Hedwig and the Angry Inch (which is also kinda too amazing for words...)done in the artist's respective styles leaving an eclectic yet truly rock-gasmic experience; and who knew Cindy could still belt it out like that, she puts supernatural demon-banshees to shame.

Summary: "Wig in a Box"
Comment: Wig in a Box
I saw a documentary on cable about this CD benefit project for a school. I really enjoyed the music and put my order in. The tops on this CD is "Wig in a Box" performed by The Polyphonic Spree. It is an upbeat, uplifting, slightly silly, what-the-heck, pop tune that gets into your brain and makes you sing along. At the least you will smile while you listen. Another plus is the raucous rock of "Sugar Daddy" performed by Frank Black. Lots of off beat stuff and some big named musical talents like Cyndi Lauper contribute. No matter what your musical tastes you will probably find something on this CD to rip an MP3 and put on your player.

Summary: best breeders track ever
Comment: As an old Breeders fan, I am completely blown away at their cover of "wicked little town". One of the best songs I've heard in such a long time. Play it over & over - the harmonies are hauntingly beautiful.

Summary: Worth it anyway
Comment: no it's not a perfect CD, but as it was a benefit for the Harvey Milk School in NYC for gay/lesbian/transgender and other in-need students, it's worth getting it regardless. I just saw the "Follow my Voice" documentary about the making of this CD and the school. It was very moving and interesting to learn about these kids who can really thrive when they get out of the unsafe environments they have at home or in their old schools because of their orientation. Please support this worthwhile program.

Summary: I'd wanted it to be good... so much.
Comment: Yeah, the rumours are true. Hate to say it, since I'm such a huge Hedwig freak. So much that I'll admit to playing the 85-minute "making of" DVD feature in the mornings as I wake up to get me going... And yet... yeah, there's sadly no soul in this CD. I wish it weren't true, but it is. Just mail $10 to Harvey Milk School and buy the sheet music to play yourself. If you'd like to buy it because you MUST own everything Hedwig, go ahead. If you're looking for good music, just stick with the original soundtracks.
I mean come on! Even "They Might Be Giants" was boring on this album.
