Album Notes
This soundtrack from the television series features music and lyrics written by the show's creator Joss Whedon, as performed by cast members including Sarah Michelle Gellar.Personnel: Amber Benson, Alyson Hannigan, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Nicholas Brendon, James Marsters , Emma Caulfield, Michelle Trachtenberg, Hinton Battle, Anthony Head (vocals).Audio Mixer: Casey Stone.Liner Note Author: Joss Whedon.Photographer: Richard Cartwright.Arrangers: Christophe Beck; Jesse Tobias.This soundtrack to the legendary musical episode of one of the most consistently entertaining shows on network TV is packed with Broadway-style songs sung by the cast with varying degrees of expertise. Put simply, it's a hoot. The premise is that a spell's been cast on them and they have to sing everything that comes out of their mouths, consequential or not, and whether they can sing or not. This leads to such songs as "They got the mustard out" (that's the entire lyric right there) and the priceless "Parking Ticket" song featuring the immortal lines "I think that hydrant wasn't there...I'm just a mortal don't you care/hey I'm not wearing underwear."The opener, "Going Through the Motions," features an ennui-laden Sarah Michelle Gellar lamenting her lack of interest in her vampire-snuffing activities, all the while fighting off a chorus of demons, ghouls, and various other manifestations of evil with all the enthusiasm of a teen forced to do the dishes. Some degree of Buffy orientation is required, and don't let the schmaltzy Disney-style orchestrations fool you--this teen musical's about as subversive as it gets.

Editorial Reviews
5 stars out of 5 - ...It rocks, desperately and epically, and is funny and heartbreaking. Love it without irony...a
Uncut (20030201)

...This has the feel of a surrealist Broadway musical - or Frank Zappa's 200 MOTELS minus the smut. All in all, bloody okay. - Rating: B

Go with your feelings and buy this CD

Created: 30/03/09
First off, I would like to say I got into this series because of chicks, violence and vampires. I never cared much for musicals. I will also admit to not watching it when it first aired, and avoided watching it. But of course, I really couldn't as the episode added more to further the plot/storyline. At first I thought it was ok, then it wasn't so bad, then it was pretty good, and now I totally enjoy the ep. Also watching the behind the scenes for the ep on DVD, I developed a greater understanding and appreciation of the efforts put into making the ep, by both Joss and the actors/actresses. I'll also add that I've listened to my CD 45 times.

Why you should buy this album:
-great way to enjoy emotions brought on during the episode
-to enjoy the actors/actresses' surprising vocal performances
-if you enjoyed the episode "Once More With Feeling"
-it's different from the other soundtrack albums as they only consist of songs performed by other artists/bands
-lyrics are included
-"bonus" tracks include:
--->Suite from "Restless" (Willow's nightmare scene)
--->Suite From "Hush" (what I call the Gentlemen theme)
--->Suite from "The Gift" (during the sacrifice scene)
-if you want to hear Joss sing
-you're a Buffy series fan (duh!)

The only flaw I have of this album is that it does NOT have the song Anya sings in the episode "Selfless". If they ever do a re-release, it's got to include Anya's "Missus" song, and if they want to put it over the top, include the bit about getting mustard on the shirt.

I'm actually giving it a 4.5/5, as it's not a complete album without Anya's very cheerful "Missus" song. Since the Ebay system doesn't do "halfs", I will not choose 4/5, that's too low a score. You can't go wrong with this CD, it's a special episode that rightly deserves an album dedicated to it.

Once More With Feeling...again and again and again

Created: 09/04/06
A true Buffy fan's collection is not complete without this cd! I purchased the cd because I loved the episode, it is probably one of my favorites, and I just couldn't get enough. I confess that I have watched the episode countless times, so what better way to sing than to buy the cd? I listen to it often and it does wonders for my mood!

It has all the great songs from the episode start to finish, plus more favorites like "Hush" and "the Gift" theme songs, gives me chills! Plus in addition to all the cast member songs from the episode, they also included the brief and amusing solo's of Marti Noxon as the parking ticket lady and David Fury as the mustard man. And I can't forget the last song that Joss sang himself "Something to Sing About"...just for kicks.

I do wish that they had extended the songs for the cd, they did have to be short because of the time limit of the episode. Also, I would have liked to have the song that Anya sang in a later episode as a flashback.

I am thrilled that they released a cd from the episode, Joss did an excellent job writing the music. If your a fan of the episode and the music don't hesitate to buy it!

Buffy Soundtrack Review

Created: 15/07/10
It's never too late to appreciate the greatness that is Buffy the Vampire Slayer. 'Once More with Feeling' happens to be one of the more memorable episodes and this soundtrack provides a musical documentation. Not one song is left out of this soundtrack and the booklet includes lyrics and drawings that any fan would appreciate. Singing along to these songs in the car, or anywhere there is not a television, is always a positive experience.

Something To Sing About

Created: 07/10/06
This is one of my favorite cd's of all time. I just love listening to it over and over again. No Buffy fan's collection is complete until you own this cd. It is a must have!

Not only do you get the songs from Once More With Feeling you get other songs from different episodes. You also get Joss Whedon's rendition of "Something to Sing About".

It's just loaded with great songs. My personal favorite is "Standing" by Anthony Stewart Head (Giles). The song is filled with such emotion, Tony's voice is just amazing.

BUFFY TVS:Once More With Feeling

Created: 10/08/08
I bought this cd for my daughter who was wearing out the dvd of this episode we own trying to learn all the songs. I was happy with this purchase as it was shipped quickly and appeared and still does appear to be a quality cd. When the cd arrived I was happy to see that contained in the jewel case was one of the little books that often accompany cds. The small booklet contains illustrations of the various cast members, all the words to the songs included on this cd, and a short message from Joss Whedon. The last thing that I was pleasantly surprised to find was that the cd also contains the suites to the episodes "Hush", "Restless", and "Sacrifice" from episode "The Gift".
