We just obtained it this weekend. I was a bit skeptical as I'm generally unimpressed with the whole "mashup" concept, the popularity of which was clearly a factor in the creation of this album. But I must say, in the hands of someone with the artistic vision and intimate knowledge of the music that George Martin has, it's far less obnoxious. I still view it as a novelty experience, but it definitely brought a smile to my face in many parts and does make me want to go catch Cirque.
