    An Incredible Piece of Art

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  May 5, 2007

    Pros: Beautiful Music Scores, Fascinating Characters

    Cons: None that I can think of.

    Rent was recommended to me by a friend awhile back. I had always thought of the musical as a little bizarre, considering the interesting set of characters. (A man on drag, a prostitute on smack, a bisexual woman, a lesbian, 3 people with AIDS, an ex-...druggie songwriter with a temper, and a normal guy.) However, before long, my curiosity took over and I had to see it. The movie was an incredible piece of art. Every scene was completely realistic and down-to-earth. The setting of hardcore NY fascinated me. I was delighted. This movie moved me beyond belief. When it was over, I just sat there, and tears ran down my face. I laughed (a lot), I cried (even more), and I yelled at my television screen (even more). I would certainly recommend this movie to anyone, especially those, like me, interested in musicals.

    Where it all started

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 25, 2006

    Pros: The entire show on 2 disks

    Cons: What cons?

    I have had this soundtrack for almost 8 years...and I have to buy a new one because I wore it out! The first time I saw rent, I fell in love with the show....after hearing the music, you understand the story more. The entre show, including the scenes... removed in the movie, are here. The quality is great and the youth in Anthony Rapp, Taye Diggs, and cast's voices are fun to listen to. The final track with Stevie Wonder is true fun with the harmonica over the words and music of the late Jonathan Larson. This should go Diamond someday!!! Read more Less

    This is a terrific recording. I've seen the play twice and if you like the soundtrack, you'll LOVE the play.

    Amazing

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jun 20, 2001

    I absolutely LOVE this album from beginning to end! Although I haven't had the opportunity to see the musical itself, I know every song by heart. Jonathan Larson was a genious! One song that doesn't really sound the way it should (in my personal opin...ion) is "Another Day," one of the best on the album. Look for it under "Multimedia:Roger:Another Day" on www.joshuakobak.com (note: the 2nd one sounds better than the first). Once again, an AMAZING album! A must have. Read more Less

    Great Soundtrack and great Musical

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Dec 9, 2000

    I genereally don't like musicals, but the "rock" sound and feel in the score really pulls you in. They have very strong and moving vocals that can tug at your heartstrings. Truly a great musical, but you had to have seen the show to understand. A mu...st listen to, and an addition to one's music collection. Read more Less
