My mom bought me a copy of The Rocky Horror Glee Show CD and I quite like it. Some of the lyrics have been changed which I found odd (e.g., "I'm a Sweet Transvestite from sensational Transylvania" wtf?), but on the whole I quite like their take on it. Mercedes as Frank brings a cool R&B styling to the song which I've never heard before. (which is saying something considering I have almost 50 different recordings of Rocky)
They finally got Finn off that gawddamn autotune which is a relief. He sings Brad with an appropriate level of nebishness. I think Quinn's "Touch-Me" is probably the weakest of the lot. She's not that strong vocally and the partially de-sexed lyrics are too distracting.
If you like Glee and you like Rocky, I say get it. If you're a Rocky album collector, it's an absolute must. Otherwise, watch the episode first and decide for yourself.
