I'm not sure if I'd like these songs as much if I hadn't seen Dr. Horrible so many times, but as it is, I love them. It's a bit disturbing to be in the laundromat with your daughter, and you both suddenly start singing (quietly), "Laundry day, see you there, under things tumbling. . . ."
Several of these songs get stuck in my head at odd moments: My Freeze Ray, A Man's Gotta Do, Everyone's a Hero ... and it drives my kids crazy, especially since I can't sing worth a lick. My Freeze Ray is on of the best unrequited love songs ever.
Like most of the other reviewers are mentioning, make sure you watch Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog first! The music is amazing. The singing is amazing. Neil Patrick Harris should seriously make his own album! He is an amazing singer! Nathan Fillion's singing is hilariously full of cheesy-ness, it's great! Felicia Day's singing is on par with her character's personality. The songs are hilarious and yet serious at the same time. It's one of my favorite soundtracks of all time!
all i hafta say is that you hafta watch it as well
A musical for people who don't like musicals. The lyrics are excellent, and the music fairly good. I would say that this holds little allure for those who have not seen it, as there is nothing but the songs here. The songs are completely out of context for anyone who has not see the show.
This album is quite funny and witty. If you're Joss Whedon fan, this is a must have!
The video is super and the music just stays with you... I downloaded the whole album...
Don't get me wrong. I like Dr. Horrible as much as anyone, but I find that listening instead of watching doesn't give me the same gusto. Maybe this album would have scored better with me if it would have added some kind of extras like extended tracks. Still, I downloaded the whole thing because I wanted to support this kind of spontaneous artistic expression. Who knows, maybe will get more Dr. Horrible in the future?
I really do listen to it way to much... over 200 plays of it o.0 I only wish they'd release a soundtrack for Commentary: The Musical on here
Absolutely leaves you wanting more Dr. Horrible. Who knew Neil Patrick Harris could sing?
Everybody knows Motown was great, but few realize what an incubator the entire City of Detroit was for soul music in its heyday. For each artist on Berry Gordy’s label there were several more just as good who went with another major, or with a smaller, local indie. Some made their names in r&b, vocal groups or gospel before evolving into soul; others started in soul but had their greatest impact in funk. But even… more »

While the legendary voices of such jazz icons as Billie, Ella and Sarah still ring true, subsequent generations of female jazz vocalists have taken the music in new directions, especially in the '90s, ranging from Cassandra Wilson's new-standard caress to Diana Krall's classics with a twist. Taking their lead, young singers over the last decade have been swinging the vocal tradition onto a new plateau with a pop sensibility. In the mix are tunes by… more »

Nirvana and Pearl Jam. This is who you'll hear about when the topic of Seattle's music scene is brought up in a historical context. It makes sense. Alternative music has always been the face of the Seattle scene. But before Kurt and Eddie, there was Ray and Quincy and Jimi. Seattle has soul, and the hip-hop community in the 206 is the living proof. They love their hometown and the music reflects that. "Townfolk Hip-Hop"… more »

After Elvis went into the Army and before the British Invasion, the years 1958-63 were rock's forgotten years. But they were the years that shaped the musical tastes of baby boomers and of acts from the Beatles and Rolling Stones to Bruce Springsteen and the Ramones. Hear the dance sensations, the one-hit-wonders, the girl groups and doo-wop singers, surfers and rockabilly twangers, the birth of Motown, the evolution of R&B into soul and so much… more »
