Next To Normal

The music of Next to Normal is labeled as rock music but it is a such a mixture, in my opinion. And some of the music sort of puts you in a trance like mood. I think this deals with tempo and choice. Tempo: because the music was literally going faster and slower. Choice: because the author made a distinct choice to have the music change. It would be too climatic too have high energy music the whole time and it would be too solemn if all the music was slow. It should vary depending on the scene. That is also a job of the singer, not just the music.
