Thoughts, anyone?
Feel free to skip the first half if you've got a short attention span.

My thoughts are mainly
"Why?"
There's nothing wrong with the original, IMO.

I guess "because" would be the only real answer.
They've updated a few bits - there's some dancey basslines and some dubstep lite (for beginners) and some industrial mutterings going on. It does seem a bit strange to try and make something appeal to the yoof when the only people who'll notice are the 30somethings.

Who's going to buy it then?
I just don't see a market for it, but maybe I have an optimistic view of the world's taste in music.

The original is so good that even when its totally ruined it still sounds brilliant.

That sums it up pretty well.
Also I think that dubstep could very well have found it's only natural home here. Distorted warblings and off kilter beats would be pretty much perfect.

Loved it
Quite frankly, voices and theatrical talent like Richard Burton's come around every few hundred years, Liam Nielsen sounded very good.
Guess it will be Morgan Freeman in the States..

Well whoever was voicing the artilleryman needs some acting lessons
He really shouldn't be sounding quite so happy about his unit being wiped out.

Well first off, the artilleryman sounds like he's about to laugh
so that's a load of shit. Liam Neeson appears to be filling Burton's shoes though. Just. But the music feels off...hardly changed from the original really, apart from a few jazzed-up effects and beats. But the whole thing sounds...well...a bit cheaper, like those rip-off cds you hear playing in shops without the original artists.
I have to ask, what's the point? If you're not going to redo it massively and more betterer, don't bother at all. Quite liked the bit where it goes all underwatery though.

^that right there!!
I went to see the stage production at weekend, and absolutely loved it...
and even though i did really enjoy it, it still made me pine for the the original .. Burton, Essex. Lynott.. the original is one of those rare examples of getting everything right!
There really isn't a need for "the new generation" .. Jeff Wayne must need a few quid, and Barry Garlow hasn't nearly enough exposure is all i can think!?!
