Severin the Wanderer:
"Can you write an "I Don't Like" here? Or even a "okay, I sort of get it but..."? That's how I feel about this entire outing. It was kind of an interesting idea to do Grand Opera with a rock combo, but the execution here is so banal and the transliterations of classics into a common idiom just so uninspired, I'm really a little ticked off. This is opera for those chary, lily-livered souls who can't handle the Romaniticism of the real, red-blooded thing. In its place, we get breathy harridans and caspar milquetoast Rick-Astley-wannabes whinging instead of weeping. Give me the Fat Lady every time. Or better yet, give me Maria Callas in mono. Sheesh!"
