While the idea of infusing a weekly TV series with a Broadway musical ethos isn't exactly a new one--think Randy Newman's ambitious Cop Rock--it became something of a turn-of the-century television mini-trend. But few have reached as far--or succeeded--like this November 2001 episode of Fox Network's Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Penned by series creator-producer Joss Whedon and performed by Sarah Michelle Gellar and cast, it's a loving, loopy musical pastiche that takes potshots at everything from Andrew Lloyd Webber to alt-rock. Paralleling the show's lovable pop culture tweaking, the musical styles here (the episode's musical conceit is a curse visited upon Buffy's hometown of Sunnydale) range from a patent footlight chorus of demons being interrupted by Gellar's hard-rocking stake thrusts on "Going Through the Motions" to Spike the Vampire's goth-metal complaint "Rest in Peace," with everything from parking tickets and mustard stain removal to climactic duels with the supernatural getting the Broadway send-up. Also includes strong orchestral score-suites from three other episodes, as well as Whedon and wife Kai Cole's demo for "Something to Sing About." --Jerry McCulley

Customer Rating:      Summary: A must-have for Buffy fans Comment: "Once More, With Feeling" is one of the best episodes of the TV series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and certainly the best episode of the sixth season. With both the lyrics and the score concocted by Buffy auteur Joss Whedon, this soundtrack will be on your mp3 player for years to come! Also, it has four bonus tracks, the theme from three different episodes (one of them being the excellent, emotion filled "Sacrifice" by Christophe Beck) as well as a working-tape version of "Something to Sing About".
Any self-respecting Buffy fan should own this album.
Customer Rating:      Summary: excellent Comment: This is the best soundtrack recording I have ever bought!
It really brings back the episode for me every time I hear it and makes me smile. I probably would have just perfered an audio track of the entire episode, with dialogue, but this is great. If you are a OMWF episode fan or just a fan of the series get this you won't be dissapointed.
Customer Rating:      Summary: awesome Comment: Wasn't actually to thrilled with the pictures, but I bought the CD for the music. It was awesome. Those actors have some great voices. Would like to see a collection of all of Anthony Stewart Head's singing from the show but... I won't hope too much. Hey Joss! You make it available, I'll buy it! Highly recomend this soundtrack to any how loved the episode!
Customer Rating:      Summary: Wonderfull music but falls short without the visuals Comment: Joss Whedon is a genious and this cd is wonderfull to have(ie. to get to have a bit of buffy in the car). But get the episode first because after listening to the cd we just had to watch the episode again. Most of the songs just work so much better with the visuals.
Customer Rating:      Summary: EXCELLENT Comment: This was part of my first order and it arrived within 7 days. Very impressed. Everything works well.
