Greetings!

I wouldnt go as far as saying "it" (the soundtrack) was "utter crap." But i was 
dissapointed -- i truly was expecting more.... more "python" influence.

After listening to it again, earlier today, i enjoyed it more -- but was still 
expecting more of a "python-esque" overtone.

My exposure to "Spamalot" was on CBS' "60 Minutes" a week ago. And i dont 
really remember hearing much of the songs during the 12 minute spot. So my 
first exposure to the msic was last night.

But i guess if you indulge yourself in the show, lighting, the sound... the 
whole atmosphere of "Spamalot" ... (like any other London or Broadway show) 
you'd enjoy it much more than just listening to the CD soundtrack. Case i 
point: i really enjoyed seeing "Into The Woods" but the soundtrack sucks! Just 
no life to it. Same w/ Spam.

Also, maybe if "Spam" had input by other Pythons, like their tv show or movies, 
the flavor would be more Python-like... than just one-sided Python.

I still plan on seeing it if and when it comes to Southern California -- sans 
the original BW cast, of course.
