Episode number 107 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer - Once More, With Feeling - was an episode breakthrough for international television. It was a musical, so daring and bold, where the cast did all their own singing and the creator wrote all the music and lyrics. It was an amazing achievement and as a big Buffy fan I have to admit I was not disappointed by the episode. The CD is also brilliant, and as well as all the songs from the episode, it has some scores and suites from other episodes, like Hush and Restless, two of my other favourite epiodes beside OMWF. Here's my track-by-track guide to ONCE MORE, WITH FEELING... TRACK 1 - OVERTURE/GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS Nice overture, and Going Through the Motions is one of the many comedic highlights of the episode while also showing Buffy's discontentment with her life. A great song, but would've worked better with the sound effects from the episode. TRACK 2 - I'VE GOT A THEORY/BUNNIES/IF WE'RE TOGETHER Awesome track, and still very funny on CD. I've Got A Theory has a cool little ring to it, and is so fitting for the Scoobies. Emma Caulfield's Bunnies is hilarious, and If We're Together is a touching track sung brilliantly by Sarah Michelle Gellar. TRACK 3 - THE MUSTARD This doesn't quite fit in the CD. It's hilarious in the episode though. TRACK 4 - UNDER YOUR SPELL Amber Benson proves she has an amazing voice. This is a great song with excellent guitar work and stunning vocals. I listen to it a lot. TRACK 5 - I'LL NEVER TELL Another really funny song, which shows Anya and Xander's nervousness before their wedding. Their complaints about each other are hilarious and always entertaining to listen to. TRACK 6 - THE PARKING TICKET I was happy they inclduded this, it was hilarious in the episode. It was nice to hear the full version. TRACK 7 - REST IN PEACE One of the more darker songs in the album. James Marsters is a member of the band Ghost of the Robot and he proves here why. He has an awesome voice and his Billy Idol-like song is a great addition to the episode and sounds great spinning on the CD. TRACK 8 - DAWN'S LAMENT Short but nice collection of little orchestrals. Lets you know how Dawn might be feeling at the time, and the scary music at the end is really cool. Would've worked better hearing Dawn's scream. TRACK 9 - DAWN'S BALLET A very short but brilliantly played ballet tune. The music here is exciting, fairy-tale like and memorable. TRACK 10 - WHAT YOU FEEL Jazzy, catchy and entertaining tune to listen to, it sounds almost better on CD. I think it would've ben just that tad bit better with the conversations between Sweet and Dawn. Hinton Battle is a great singer! TRACK 11 - STANDING Anthony Stewart Head is a great singer! This is the first of the very depressing songs on the album. It was written very well and shows the reason why Giles must leave and make Buffy stand on her own two feet. Just as great on CD. TRACK 12 - UNDER YOUR SPELL/STANDING Reprise Amber Benson and Anthony Stewart Head's voices just mesh really well together! They sound amazing as they are probably the strongest singers of the cast. Excellent stuff, and I loved hearing the two tunes of Standing/Under your Spell mixing together. TRACK 13 - WALK THROUGH THE FIRE On screen and on CD, this track brings a tear to my eye. It's brilliant. Sarah Michelle Gellar's singing here is very strong and the lyrics are heartbreaking. This is probably my favourite song on the track, I cherish it and listen to it a lot. TRACK 14 - SOMETHING TO SING ABOUT Brilliant lyrics and brilliant singing. Sarah Michelle Gellar hits all the right notes here, she rocks. This is just behind Walk Through the Fire for my favourite track on the album.
