It only gets one star, because that's the worst I can give.

"Oh My God. What a horrible rendition of the best rock opera ever. If you have never heard JCS or you don't own a copy, please don't buy this . . . . Wait, don't buy this anyway. This recording out of Quebec, deserves to be thrown to a pack of vicious tone-deaf wolves. And even that would be a mercy killing. One word sums it up. Crap. The Judas with a "lithp" has got to go. The entire cast over-enunicates and their spontaneous creativeness sounds rehearsed. Basically, a Mormon church choir trying a bit too hard to sound rockish. It doesn't work for me at all. Generally, there is a high point to any highlights album, but this one doesn't even have that. Run from this one as fast as you can. This is an example of something that you CAN knock before you try it."
