The lyric changes that bother me the most are the ones in His Kiss, the Riot, which has been one of my favorite tracks since the concept album. Having listened to the whole thing through now, it really is a beautiful album and overall I love what they did to expand and flesh out the show. I listened with my nice headphones and two tiny complaints I had at the end were the abrupt jump from Doubt Comes In to Road to Hell II and then I just wish they had let the final note of We Raise Our Cups p
This latest drop really ties it together for me. I’m a long time fan of the show, since the concept album and I couldn’t wait for this album after seeing it back in April, but I wasn’t loving the character drops. There were some good songs, but it just didn’t work as well in chunks, but I’m loving listening through it now. That being said, I do miss the live aspect from the NYTW album. There are also some rewrites for Broadway that I don’t love.

I hate to say it, but I kind of agree. I’ve been holding judgement until we get the whole thing and I can listen through, but so far it’s been a bit disappointing. There is definitely an energy that is missing (one of the nice things about the live recording from NYTW was that energy).

Yeah, i don’t understand what is happening. I preordered before the first release, and the first batch automatically downloaded for me. Then the Hades/Persephone drop did not download and didn’t give me any option to it just showed those tracks as available for purchase but “preordered”. Now in the past couple days about half of the Hades/Persephone tracks have randomly showed up on my phone but the other half still have the same issue. Meanwhile this latest drop doesn’t even show up as availabl

The official playlist on Spotify is finally updated.
Kate Monster3 said: "I believe the nextCharacter Drop ofHermes, the Fates, and the Workers Chorus is this Friday. Any ideas what songs we'll be getting this time around?"
Just looking at the track list and the artists listed for each track, one can make an educated guess that we will probably get:
Road to Hell
A Gathering Storm
Chant
Way Down Hadestown II
Nothing Changes
Word to the Wise
Doubt Comes In
Maaaa

Yeah, I haven’t figured out how to get the new batch to download on my iTunes yet, which is annoying.
They are on Spotify and someone has made a playlist where they are putting all the tracks in order.
I have to say, while some of the rewrites for Broadway I really like, I much prefer the previous “His Kiss, the Riot.” I am not a fan of the new lyrics in that one, and I think it lost a bit of its power because of them.
HADESTOWN - which songs? Jun 25

They only have one interaction in that song, which is a good interaction, but we will have to agree to disagree on it being the best part.

Yeah, Wait for Me II is certainly not a Hades/Persephone song, as much as I want that one to be released already.

Jeez. So much for their not wanting people to line up in the middle of the night.
Constitution discount code, please? Jun 9

I could be wrong, but based on the fact that they are playing to close to 100% capacity, I would be surprised if they had one out. It doesn’t seem like they need one.

I will say that at least with today’s release we do get a chunk of the show that we can listen through (‘Songbird’ through the end of Act One).
