Artist: Original Cast Recording Album: Dr Horrible's Sing-along Blog Worth Buying: Yes the whole album You Will be interested in this if you are a fan of: Musicals and even if you are not a fan of musicals.
Tell Me More: This is the album soundtrack for the Internet musical of the same name. Dr Horrible was created by Joss Whedon (Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel) and produced during the recent writers strike as an experiment to create content by Hollywood professionals independently without the backing of a Hollywood studio. The musical stars Neil Patrick Harris, Nathan Fillion, & Felicia Day . It tells the story of a low rent super villain (played by Harris) named Dr. Horrible (real name Billy) and his desire the join the Evil League Evil. Felicia Day plays the girl he is in love with (but can't get up the nerve to speak to) and Nathan Fillon is the Superhero who keeps beating him up. The story is funny, sad, touching and tragic. And in 45 minutes it manages to do what George Lucas couldn't do with the last 3 Star Wars movies: Make us feel sorry for the villain. And the songs are GREAT FUN! (NOTE: There are a few adult gags so parents my not find this suitable for kids).
I've always noticed that you can't fully appreciate the songs in a musical by themselves without knowing the story first. And the great thing is that you can stream this musical for FREE on the official website. You can purchase the entire musical for $4.99 (in the US) on itunes by choosing the season pass option (A DVD release will be coming soon). The soundtrack is available as digital download only on and on the Amazon mp3 store (The best place to buy legal digital downloads and show your support).
