Glee Cast
“Glee: The Music, The Christmas Album Volume 2”
(Columbia Records)
Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Much like a brightly lit holiday display whose lights shine a little too brightly, “Glee” always has been a hit-or-miss with both its TV and music. And its latest release of shimmering, colorful covers, “The Christmas Album Volume 2,” doesn’t fail to follow the show’s formula of overproduced aural goodness.
Its covers again range from traditional holiday standouts such as the soaring “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and the smooth “Blue Christmas,” to more modern classics such as Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” and Eartha Kitt’s “Santa Baby,” with two unoriginal original songs thrown in for good fare.
I typically advise against buying an entire album of “Glee” tracks because the delicious, high-calorie goodies are found so sparingly throughout that buying the individual singles is a better idea, but this disc doesn’t suffer too much from its frequent, low-calorie low points.
