Advantages: complete mix in musical styles Disadvantages: the cover
...but for some reason the Buffy The Vampire Slayer album diesn't correspond to this, it is absolutely brilliant! What you basically get is a compilation of most of the songs that are playing in the background of the Bronze whenever Buffy and co are there and a couple of the pieces of music they've used for special scenes and instead of a general review of the album I'm going to go through each song here: 1. Nerf Herder/Buffy The Vampire Slayer Theme ... ...Your Eyes - remember when Buffy had to kill Angel to save the world? Well this is the piece that was playing in the background whilst you watched it, Classical Music - yep even in this mix of pop, rock, grunge, dance and ballads there is still a place for a piece of Classical Music and it ends the album in a fitting way. But the album has a cover as well doesn't it?, well yes and its a tres terrible one at that - see the picture in the corner of ...

Advantages: Some great bands and fantastic instrumental pieces Disadvantages: Hepburn's "I Quit"
...18. Close Your Eyes (the Buffy and Angel love theme) by Christopher Beck, taken from “Becoming”, Season 2
Most are bands featured on the show in the Bronze or in the background as a reflection on the characters lives.
The first and last track are instrumental pieces, though both quite different The first is a real heavy rock, head banging and catchy tune whilst the last could almost be counted as classical. Viewers will remember it ... ...rest of the CD at all. It’s a very unoriginal, dull pop song by an already fading British band. Essentially, this is a CD for obsessive Buffy fans who just want to have every piece of possible merchandise, but lovers of original rock and pop would also enjoy. ...

Advantages: Some fantastic songs Disadvantages: Some fantasticly bad songs
Being an avid Buffy fan, i was happy that Fox planned to release a Buffy soundtrack CD but also a little weary about what to expect. The music on the show never struck me as being something i would enjoy (Pops normally what i listen to) However the actual Musical scores were always good. So i decided to give it a go and hope i enjoyed it. I was very suprised about the brilliance of nearly all the tracks on the cd and now its never off my cd player. ... ...A peiece of music all Buffy fans love but hate, the music from when Buffy had to send angel to hell. The amazing music won Emmy's and was praised over and over for its brilliance. and its obvious why, the sad piano affair made the scene 100x more sad and listening to it on cd has the same effect. Brilliant piece of music from a brilliant composer
10/10
Overall a mixed album, its a shame to see such brilliant songs sitting next to some pretty dire ...

Advantages: Several outstanding songs in an album of quality offerings Disadvantages: A few out of place songs especially the ballad... the alternative theme won't appeal to all
Buffy the Vampire Slayer is essential viewing for literally millions these days but for the true Buffy fan there is more available than the video and DVD box sets… yes it’s the album. Personally I can see this being a very lucrative spin-off as there has been a huge number of songs used in the series and whilst only one album has been released to date I, for one, will not be surprised to see several more in the near future. Anyway enough ... ...series follows the exploits of Buffy and her scooby-do group of friends as they battle the demonic forces of evil and struggle with the altogether scarier emotional turmoil of adolescence. As you can imagine the album supplies a fairly eclectic mix of songs ranging from teenage angst tunes to dark gothic alternative and even finding space for the love theme music that was heavily utilised in the second series. Anyway without further ado here are ...

Advantages: A good mix Disadvantages: I want another one, mine got nicked
My love of this show is bordering on obsession; yes, I admit I’m an addict. In fact, even if William the Bloody (James Marsters) left tomorrow, I would still watch. This CD is from when Spike was a mere twinkle in Joss Whedon’s eye. It contains many bands I don’t really know, but because of the Buffster I gave it a go and I was glad I did too, when is the next CD out? Track 1.Buffy The Vampire Slayer Theme – Nerf Herder 8/10 ... ...synonymous all things Summers. Great catchy rift, Dunno whether I would buy an entire CD of theirs, but this is a great opening track. Doesn’t drag on either, which is good because sometimes songs without vocals can get on my nerves. Track 2.Teenage FBI – Guided by Voices 5/10 (Not yet featured to my knowledge)

Advantages: suits the actual program "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", it rocks, loads of songs, very well put together Disadvantages: a bit expensive
...have never seen the series Buffy the Vampire Slayer, then you are missing out on something amazing. I am so addicted to the program that I could not resist, and I had to buy this soundtrack. It was inevitable. This soundtrack are all the songs and music that have appeared on the series "Buffy the vampire Slayer", minus a few of course. Practically every soundtrack on this album contains drummers and electric guitarists. Basically all the songs are ... ...1. Nerf Herder - Buffy The Vampire Slayer Theme : The main introduction theme of this brilliant program. It's fast and rocking
Guided By Voices - Teenage FBI : An extremely simple song consisting of a repetitive riff but a nice tune indeed
Garbage - Temptation Waits : I personally don't like the band Garbage, hence I don't really like this song much. It's a very light rock song and the lyrics don't change alot, but I thought I'd mention it because ...

Advantages: A long-lasting album Disadvantages: No song-words included!
...brings back memories of classic Buffy the Vampire Slayer TV moments. It opens and closes with two instrumentals, the TV theme, and a slow, dreamy song; Close your Eyes. From the heavy rock of Face to Face, to slow ballads such as Wild Horses by The Sundays, this album won’t disappoint any die-hard fan, who will have fun matching the songs to the episodes! I found this product good value for money, and got hours of use out of it! ...

...shops to buy. With the Buffy theme to start with there are great songs that have never been released as singles and some that have been. All the songs have been in 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer' seasons 1-4 including songs by Garbage, Hepburn, and Four Star Mary. My favourite track on the album has to be 'Already Met You' by Superfine. Rasputina also have a great track with 'Transylvanian Concubine' which Drusilla danced to in 'Innocence'. The only thing ...

The buffy soundtrack in it's self is fair enough but the real buffy band (Four Star Mary) should really have the credit for making the best soundtrack songs ever. Not many people know them by their real name but they deserve to be big so buy their album, it kicks ass - really. Also i have to make the point that Alyson Hannigan (Willow) has to be the best and sexyist actress i've ever seen. She has to be the one actress in Buffy that didn't sleep ...

Advantages: Brilliant soundtrack,emotional songs,cool music,excellent for fans of the show Disadvantages: A couple of weak links in the playlist,not appealing to EVERYONE
...to anybody whos ever seen buffy the vampire slayer as its the theme tune! Although its a very good theme tune,it doesnt seem to work as an instrumental on an album....unlike the last track by Christopher Becke. This is a deeply moving instrumental to anyone who watches the show and an ok instrumental to anyone who doesnt (or as my friend says-"something that sounds as though it's come from a television show").
As said before,there are few duff tracks-probably ... ...weird song!). All the others rarely fall below average standard-and most excell. My favourite tracks are bif naked-luck and k's choice-virgin state of mind which are able to be both dramatic,moving and soft.
There are also songs for those with more harder tastes in music though-garbage,four star mary (the band dingoes ate my baby in the show).
Overall,I think that while this is a brilliant compilation cd,it is also a wonderful soundtrack-something ...
