Music reviews of Rocky Horror Picture Show: 25 Years of Absolute Pleasure
Music Review: Hot Patootie, Bless My Soul, I Really Love This Soundtrack
Rating: 4 Stars
My name's Miranda and I am 17 years old. I'm a (recent) fan of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and I wanted the soundtrack so I can learn all the songs and sing along, of course. There are two reasons I gave this soundtrack four stars instead of five:
#1: It's been commented on (multiple times) that the "Hot Dog" song was missing from the soundtrack and that that was a big let-down. I agree that it was a bit of a disappointment and if you like that song, don't expect it on the CD.
#2: It's also been commented on that there is dialogue in the songs (preceeding and following). I don't mind hearing the characters talk, but the narrator is rather annoying. His voice is boring and monotonous and it goes on for, like, a full minute every now and then before the songs actually start.
Aside from that, this CD is amazing. I love it. I highly recommend it.
Description of Rocky Horror Picture Show: 25 Years of Absolute Pleasure
Inexpensive UK remastered reissue of the soundtrack to the late-night cult phenomenon. Deluxe packaging includes booklet with rare & unseen photos. 2001.Another installment of the Cult Show That Will Not Die, the 25th anniversary edition of the Rocky Horror soundtrack has, of course, the kinds of things one would expect of an anniversarial edition. These include previously unreleased tracks and a CD booklet that attempts to explain the inexplicable: how character actor Richard O'Brien's little slice of weirdness became such a hit that, a quarter of a century later, it's a Broadway production once again. Even today, there are people out there being, well, exposed to the phenomenon that is Rocky Horror for the first time, and the reaction is always the same: either utter enchantment or utter mystification. There's no denying that the show has a certain appeal. Creator O'Brien has called it "something any 10-year-old can enjoy," and maybe that's the secret: something about Rocky Horror's barely controlled insanity connects with our inner children. Maybe it's Tim Curry's magnetic performance. Maybe it's the music. Maybe it's '70s nostalgia. Whatever the reason, Rocky Horror has proved that one need not be mainstream to become an icon of popular culture. While the images and ideas contained therein might hardly turn a head today, there's nothing else like it that's quite as much fun. --Genevieve Williams
