Leave it to the Americans running the record industry in Canada to put less songs on "The Canadian Version" and EXTRAS !!! on "The International Version" yes,common sense would tell any intelligible human being that you put more/different songs on the "Canadian (home grown)version" and they'll have to buy that one for the extra songs like in "JAPAN"....leave it to The American Corporations controlling the music industry in Canada to do the opposite !!!!!

Bran Van 3000, or BV3, is at first a collective music ensemble based in Montréal, Canada. This album is so diversified, so well worked out, that even if every song is different from another, they , together, all make sense.Hard to follow? Well it at least gives a good reprensation of this album.

In a few words, it's one of the best canadian album you can lay your hands on. Even if you don't like it at first, I promise that, at some point in your life, you'll be glad you bought it.

glee is amazing in terms of each song being totally different it makes u dance with catchy songs and "funky" beats a cd that u can listen to over and over again

if u like glee u'll love discosis which features well known artists

I just bougth the cd 'cos I lost my "drinking in L.A." version, altough it was hard to find, GLEE absolutely does it for me. The way the cd is mixed (country, house, hip-hop, eclectic) is amazing. This is truly by far the best cd I've ever bougth. I just hope we could get more "out of trend" music, you know, not everything shown on MTV is art.

all i can say is.... excellent!!!! from the begining to the end. Its one of my favorites!!!!

This record is difficult to review. Bran Van 3000 create interesting, original music, melting a lot of diverse styles in one album. "Glee" combines pop, hip hop, rock, electronica, country and easy listening (I probably forgot something), and as a whole is works as an unique, weird, flawed yet addictive effort. Each song here is quite different from one another, the band has male and female vocalists and at times there are some filler moments. When it`s good, it`s really good, like the lo-fi pop of "Problems", the absorbing "Rainshine" or the chaos presented in "Forest". "Old School", "Willard" and "Mama Don`t Smoke", however, would do better as b-sides.
"Glee" is an eclectic mix, a bit too long and pointless at parts but with enough moments of brilliance to make it a recommended debut of the late 90`s. 3,5 stars.

To anyone who is secpicital about buying this album dont be so. I wasnt sure that i was going to spend $20 on this cd but i was wrong. It never leaves my cd player, its a mix of all types of music. If you can only buy 1 CD ever buy this one!!!!

I bought this CD on a whim, after listening to a couple of sample tracks on Amazon. I absolutely love this album; it definitely exceeded my expectations. The songs are very catchy and likable without being the same, old formulaic pop you hear on the radio.

The best way that I can describe Bran Van 3000's music is that they put everything they can (lots of different sounds and styles) into a song, and yet manage to make it all sound like it was meant to be together. Most importantly the music is FUN. I definitely reccomend this CD.

Bran Van 3000, an odd ball collection of non-musicians and some special guests, bring a debut filled with a variety of pleasant songs. Bran Van can either be considered an extremely original band or just a band who borrow styles from such diverse areas and combine them in very original ways. There are combinations of styles from country, hip hop, drum n bass, rap, rock and just about any other styles the members of bran van could get there hands on. Most of the songs on this CD I find to be incredible, however it does have a few fillers. If you're looking for something a bit different, with a ton of musical styles, this is a great album to try

A good girl friend of mine knew that I was into different, yet relaxing, mellow music. She handed me this cd and said she liked it, but that I would LOVE it. I totally did and still do. This was about 6 months ago, and I have yet to get sick of it and I always have it in my car. I have never heard such a unique sound full of various sounds and genres of music before. The voices are very beautiful and eccentric, and the beats of music make you want to dance, and the mix of them together it's the most unique, fun-filled album I've ever heard. It's just very different and there's a lot of humor mixed in which gives it a twist without being a full comedy cd. I've had friends hear this with me, and they all just have to ask, "Who is this?" It's my new favorite cd. As soon as I get some money, I can guarantee I'm ordering discosis as well.
