Listened to it the first time, proceeded to take off all my clothes, grab 5 beers, chug them while running laps around the house in search of a battle axe

The 1st time listen through gave me about 3-5 immediate favorites.  And the more I listened the deeper the music got, and is worth the ticket price.  Worth while tracks are The Package, Pet, Blue, The Noose, and differently The Nurse Who Loved Me.

This takes a couple of listens to get into, once you do it is really quite wonderful. Can't say enough good things about it

I actually hated this album the first half dozen times I listened to it, but as I continued to listen and give it a chance I've grown to love it. It's kind of off putting at first, but it will really grow on you and lately it seems like all I want to listen to.

It took me a couple of tries to get into this book.  I actually listened to half of it and almost gave up but then listened to it all over again.  I think I got bogged down in the many names and very different vocabulary.  But, second time through was the charm and in the end I really enjoyed this story.  So, I recommend it with one caveat, take your time with it.

Worth a second listen, and then more.  I loved the movie as a kid and this is *very* different so the first time through I couldn't relate.  A month later, I gave it a second chance.  The second time through, I got the magic.  "Zandozan!" is delightful, "To Make a Hero" inspiring and the short "Star League Anthem" instantly transported me back to the movie.  I really think this was way ahead of its time and with more artful recordings like Dear Evan Hansen totally crushing it nowadays in terms of popularity, maybe this show's time has come.  It needs grittier acting and sound design in "Caves of the Heart" than this recording, and I would love to see a production that had that.

Listened to this song in my car after purchasing. I bought it because I liked the first album and I liked the song feel good inc. I was not to impressed the first time listening to this album because it is different from their first. Darker and more original is the best way to describe it. After listening a 2nd time with my Senn hd650 headphones I was was stunned. Details and sounds were revieled that I could not previously hear. All I can say is the second time I listened to this album I loved every second of it (though I didn't car for "Dirty Harry"). "Fire Coming out of The Monkeye's Head" and "DOnt get lost in Heaven" are two increadible pieces of music (especially with a good setup). Honestly this is one of the Top 5 albums I have every heard (Behind Pink Floyd- Wish YOu Were Here, Oasis- Whats the story mourning glory, Jimmy Hendrix-Band Of Gypsies, Shpongle- Are You Shpongled, then Demon Days. Most of the music on this album can be MUCH better appreciated with good headphones, however if you give this album a few chances its melodic beats and vocals will reward you greatly. Get this Album now!

On my first listen, I wasn't really sure. Second listen, I kinda smiled and said OK. Follow up listening, I love it. I would have liked a few more verses but there is so much going on with this album. The sound is huge and it takes a few listens to start feeling it.

Over time I have built up a large library of these types of programs.  Some have been excellent, many have belonged to the trash heap.  I purchased this a long time ago, and put it away after listening to it a few times because I thought there were better products out there and the program didn't click with me.  Recently, something told me to to give this program another try, so I have.  I began listening to it and following the suggested listening instructions.  To my great and pleasant suprise, it's working!  I feel the results of listening.

The first time I listened to this album I hated it. It's not typical orbital. Too much DJ'ing rather than creation for me. Then I listened to it again. It got a little bit better but still no in sides. After the third listen to I was hooked. I still think there is too much DJ'ing on this album but Meltdown is phenominal. I recommend listening to it first and then move on to the other tracks.

I listened to this album today for the first time in a long time.  I really enjoyed revisiting it.  I saw the original, low-budget revue in a very small off-Broadway theater. It was never meant to be a big show, and the recording reflects this simplicity. I'm glad the show was even recorded. I like the piano accompaniment here because the Sondheim lyrics are crystal clear and witty. The songs aren't the usual ones found on many Sondheim compilations.

Avid Stephen King fan, so I might be prejudiced, but I listened to this twice!

When I first bought this CD, I tried listening to it a few times, and could not get into it at all. I came here and gave it a 1-star review, which I now regret, and have finally got around to deleting. Fast-forward a couple of years, and I now have a much better opinion of this CD. I filed it away for quite awhile, eventually pulled it back out for a few more listens, and really came to like it.

I am not sure why I didn't hear how good these guys were when I first bought the album, especially since I know that sometimes it takes awhile for you to truly appreciate a great album. To make my long story short, I apologize to the band for earlier writing a bad review, and I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to add some great progressive rock music to their collection.

Best heard the first time when you aren't driving...there was one magic moment when I thought someone was trying to escape from my trunk...this while I was doing nearly 70 on Highway 101 and I switched off the player, listened to silence for a moment, switched the player back on and breathed a sigh of relief. There are some totally memorable tunes, wickedly sardonic and delivered with brutal accuracy. Not uniformly balanced, but considering the players, I wouldn't expect it to be. It was wonderful driving through Northern CA listening to this...one song was so dead on appropriate, I had to stop at a scenic pullout and LMAO. Absolutely a Mekons meets Pere Ubu joyride capable of producing simultaneous flashbacks and flashforwards. I do, truly do, recommend you give this one a chance before it vanishes forever and becomes one of those legendary classics spoken of in hushed, reverant whispers by ultra-reclusive stoner geeks. Not mild, nor for the faint of heart or dull of mind. This is not easy listening by any stretch and it's best played at high volume. Having written this, all I can add is: IMO, it's a keeper. It gets better every time I hear it. Buy it!

After a few listens this really grows on you.

I was very excited that Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman teamed up again for an album. I will say that when I first played it, I was a bit concerned, especially when I started the first song. After listening to it straight through, I still didn't feel it. But, I have been a Meat Loaf fan for as long as I remember and I felt I needed to give it a chance. I saw an interview where he told someone to listen to it 3 times. So I listened to it again, and again and it does come together really nicely. I am very happy I gave it some time, and enjoy it very much. If you have been a fan of Meat Loaf I do suggest to give it a chance, his voice may not be what it once was, but the songs play very well with what he has (not as much shouting and screaming on this one) and Jim Steinman's songs, lyrics and music are great. Plus there is Ellen Foley (From Paradise..), Karla DeVito, and Stacy Michelle who really add to the songs, and have such beautiful voices. (although I do wish Patti Russo was part of this) Anyway, all I wanted to say was, listen to it a few times before you give up on it, I am glad I did.
