I really enjoyed Little Mortal Jump - I felt it was darkly romantic, funny, and melodramatic without veering into schmaltz. The "gasp" moments kept me on the edge of my seat. I felt just as energized at the beginning of Too Beaucoup, but as the volume of the music steadily increased (to the point that both my chair and chest were vibrating) and the lights pointed straight into the audience's eyes, it became something to be endured rather than experienced.
