Glee: Journey To Regionals CD Review (4.5/5)


Gleeks will know that the final episode of Glee Season One was called "Journey", featuring a host of songs by the titular rock band, Queen and Isreal Kamehuke, and now we've got a special album (retailing for just £5) based around that awesome finale. "Journey To Regionals" boasts 6 tracks, and will run for just 22 minutes, and while that might seem too small a track-list for any CD, all the songs available here are pure gold: New Directions' Journey medley is heartwarming and uplifting (though the lack of the sensational video that accompanies them in the episode is a somewhat tragedy- for now!), and Vocal Adrenaline's Bohemian Rhapsody, while undoubtedly a strange version, is funny to listen to. The other tracks, "To Sir, With Love" and "Over The Rainbow" aren't classics, but certainly will peak fans' interests. Overall, the £5 asking price is sensationally cheap given the high standard of music here, but somehow it does feel like Glee: The Music, Volume 3 should simply have been delayed to encompass the tracks. A worthwhile purchase, then, though perhaps not a warranted one?
