This soundtrack is excellent---for an excellent episode, and one of my favourites, for sure!
I LOVE this CD, and play it often. It was my favourite present from a friend. And, I have been able to use it to prove that, indeed, there IS a line saying: "Hey, I'm not wearing underwear"....people who have only seen the episode do NOT believe me, but it is there.
Description: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.

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... (more)(less)

Joss Whedon is truly talented, and sure came up with something very special with "Once More, With Feeling". If you are a fan, this is definitely a must-have.
Great music, great lyrics, along with some extra music from other episodes of Buffy---all makes for one CD that is definitely worth the sticker price!” read more
