Disco Enjolras - Tumblr Posts

To be honest, I kind of like that Valjean isn't that mentioned in the concept album, not because I don't like him (Actually I love him, he's my favorite character). Just because it’s closer to the book that way. Because Valjean is mentioned in the book but we usually see the stories of other characters more often that his history from his own perspective.

Reasons to love the Original Concept Album

Fantine gets a song about misery that basically summarizes the political views of the book.

Gavroche has two full songs and multiple cameos!

Fantine is angry.

Gavroche is overtly political. Actually, everyone is more political.

Rose Laurens and Michel Sardou (my beloved).

Disco Enjolras!

The less talked-of Rock Javert.

"Master of the House" has much better puns.

Seriously, the lyrics of this album fuck severely.

Gavroche's death songggg. :((

It uses the lyrics of the songs from the book verbatim.

Marius is destitute.

No weird religious undertones.

Reasons to maybe not like the Original Concept Album as much

If you don't know the story already you're going to be lossssst.

Jean Valjean? Who? Oh, you mean the guy who gets mentioned a couple of times in passing?

Cosette calls both Valjean and Marius "my prince". Gross.

The Amis don't even get a death mention...

Marius and his grandfather make up.

Enjolras calls Marius "my best friend" (???).
