There’s a reason the critics are raving about Glee, and it’s not its hard-hitting approach to tackling teen issues. It’s the musical performances! The Gleeks’ interpretations of a wide range of ballads, raps, rock anthems and show tunes are what make this campy new series just plain fun. The show’s first soundtrack album, Glee: The Music, Volume 1, hits stores today.
