Glee: The Graduation Album

Glee Cast

I’VE lost count of the number of albums the Glee cast have released as their McKinley High alter-egos, but regardless of your personal preferences, the dent every single release has made on the charts is undeniable.

This graduation album features suitably nostalgic and predictably ‘big’ tunes, including a blasting cover of Florence and the Machine’s Shake it Out and a rip-roaring ensemble performance of That’s What Makes You Beautiful, from the glee club boys.

This album lacks the inspired ‘mash-ups’ of previous seasons, but once again showcases vocals that beggar belief and a good, strong dose of aural happy pills.
