Customer Reviews

One of the best rock musicals out there!

The lead singer for this is the same guy who does lead vocals for The Moody Blues. If you liked this band then you'll love the classic 'Forever Autumn'. This is the original release with Richard Burton doing the narration. There is another album that is 'highlights' that has the musical tracks without Burtons' Narration of the story. (The producers of Glee could use this version or parts of it for their show.)

A musical? Hardly.

This album can be deceiving. It parades itself as a musical, when it is really only a glorified narration with a few musical segments. This really doesn't deserve to be called a musical at all. The few songs that make up this album are mostly drab and repetitive. That being said, this album isn't completely devoid of good music: "Forever Autumn" is nice. The narration is well done, and the overall album isn't terrible, but if you were looking for a musical, then look elsewhere.

AWESOME

I own the actual vinyl album and i picked it up as soon as i saw it. It's so wonderfuly random and out there! i love it. I if you like stuff that is classic but has a weird spin, you'll love this.
