5 out of 5 stars Nothing is sacred in the magical musical world of Glee   December 15, 2009
Truecolours09 (London, UK)
9 out of 11 found this review helpful

To enjoy this album, it's important to set aside concerns about artistic integrity or spontaneous creativity. This is a kind of superb, hyper-realised karaoke in which classic songs are given a polish and sent out to work their magic all over again. At times it produces pleasant but standard covers ('Endless Love', 'Don't Make Me Over') but occasionally there is something fresh that reignites the song ('True Colours', 'You Can't Always Get You Want', 'Don't Rain On My Parade').

The 'Glee sound' is typically based on layered harmonies, very strong 'show tune' vocals (with a couple of notable exceptions which seem to owe much to autotune) and a melody that is pushed right to the front of the mix. This can be beguiling when a track like the archly caustic 'Smile' by Lily Allen becomes a lovelorn and cutesy duet.

The song choices are fairly varied and, to give credit where it's due, selecting something like Lennon's 'Imagine' indicates that the producers clearly have only one criteria: that it's a great melody and it fits the scene in the show. No doubt some music fans will find it difficult to reconcile hearing a classic track by their favourite artist with the ultra glossy Glee makeover it's been given here. Yet seen as a showcase for the original artist, this might prove to be an entry point for a new audience to hear their music.

There's nothing on this second disc that even comes close to the towering 'Bust Your Windows' on the first soundtrack but, as a collection of great songs to sing along to this is still very much worth purchasing. Lea Michele and Amber Riley's vocals deserve to be heard.

Quite simply - I love Glee and the music. Every song (nearly) never fails to put a smile on my face. Second volume just adds that much more to the first.


5 out of 5 stars Gleeks of the world unite!   December 11, 2009

Glee is one of the best shows to happen to TV in recent years, the writing is flawless, the performances impeccable and the soundtrack is incredible.

This volume takes you up to the episode titled "Sectionals", the fall finale for the show before it breaks for hiatus in the States.... until April. "Sectionals" was, simply put, an amazing episode.

Stand out tracks:
Lea Michele's "Don't Rain On My Parade" was truly fantastic
"Proud Mary" was a great energetic track
Amber Riley's vocals on "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going" are sensational
The cover of Van Halen's "Jump" is also a really fun track.

It's really difficult to narrow down which tracks are the best because that's how good this show is.

Enjoy!
