Me too. Joss Whedon did a Buffy musical once. When Buffy died, her friends dabbled in black magic to bring her back from the dead. When she returned, they thought she'd be grateful to be alive again, but what she didn't tell them is that she'd been in heaven. She'd been joyful and pain free and felt loved in death and they brought her back to a harsh, mean world. She kept it to herself, but then in the musical she sang the truth. She sang, "I think that I was in
hea-ven." And every time she sang the word heaven she struck a discordant note. Wrest from it against her will, "heaven" no longer meant paradise or pleasure.
I always thought that was quite effective and
Soldier's Angel reminds me of that. The sound SnL achieve is not supposed to be smooth or pleasant.
