Wikipedia: Repo! The Genetic Opera

I only found out about this recently, and its not necessarily the plot that has drawn me to this movie (although it does interest me and I'm looking forward to it now) or the cast (Paris Hilton? lol), I was listening to an internet radio station that I frequent and heard one of the songs, so I decided to do a little research. I really like most of the music from this, but I wouldn't suggest even listening too closely to the lyrics if you're easily offended or weak of stomach.

Anyone know anything else about this?

Oooh, the movie does look interesting though. And somehow it reminded me of the Coheed and Cambria universe. I can see the characters from this movie being implanted right into it.

You're primarily making that connection because they're both rock operas (though this one more blatantly so than Coheed & Cambria). I'm not so sure they would fit that easily together, however I can agree that they have the same kind of atmosphere.

For some reason, the organ repo thing reminds me of the Prize Fighter Inferno characters Long Arm and Butchie Bleam and their "blood machine".

Yeah, I guess so if you're just going by the wiki article. My interpretation of the music is a lot different though.

Granted, my interpretation could be completely off, so its up to the vision. I guess the reason I have trouble seeing the two universes together is because the settings are actually pretty different and Repo! seems a lot darker than the stuff from the Coheed & Cambria universe.

After thinking on it, a good way to describe the music/tone is like a slightly darker modern Rocky Horror Picture Show.

One of the tamer songs so you can get a sample, linked instead of video'd because its still has some mile language and such.
