*Please note that there may be Buffy the Vampire Slayer Spoilers in this Review* About this time last year, I was introduced to the whole Buffy the Vampire Slayer scene. Call me behind the times if you want, but it's a bit difficult to get to watch a programme that is on BBC2 at 6.45pm when you work shifts! The episode that converted me was the one in which this album is the soundtrack to, Once More With Feeling. The following day I was HMV and saw the soundtrack sitting on the shelf, but it was £15.00.

I'm sure many Buffy fans will find it rather funny that Sarah Michelle Geller is in fact one of the least talented singers out of the lot, which must have been extremely difficult to manage as she is the the centrepiece of ...  Read the complete review

I think I should start by saying that I'm a huge Buffy fan (*see footnote). But I'll try to keep this review as impartial as possible for any people out there reading this who aren't fans yet. Music and lyrics are by the apparent genius Joss Whedon. A bit of preamble I feel is justified before getting onto the songs themselves - so skip the next few paragraphs if you wish... This CD contains all of the songs and music from the musical episode "Once more with feeling" from the sixth season. It also contains music from the award-winning episode "Hush" and a couple of other episodes. The TV cast (and some of the ...  Read the complete review
