Summary: Lost Christmas Eve review
Comment:
This album has been reviewed many times with some very outstanding reviewers, so I won't go on ad nauseum about it. I attended one of the TSO concerts and I would classify the album as a great soundtrack to the show. If you have not attended a concert, I encourage you to do so; the experience is magnificent.

Summary: Terrific Rock Christmas CD
Comment: This CD has quickly become my favorite Christmas CD. The combination of catchy melodies and excellent rock performances are unmatched by any other group I have heard.

Summary: Euro-Metal Meets Christmas?
Comment: This CD reeks of Euro-Metal of the worst kind! I give it two stars because there are some decent musicians who play the music. It's just that this music was done and done and done throughout the 80s. I agree with the other reviewers who have said they couldn't believe this music was for real. It is so over the top as to come across as a caricature of bad 80s metal.

Summary: Maybe 3 1/2 suffers from Mannheim comparison
Comment: My wife was very thrilled when a friend of ours unexpectedly gave her this CD as a gift. We had just seen Mannheim Steamroller in concert for the first time and the wife had heard the some of the Trans Siberian instrumental's on the radio so she squealed with delight as the cd went in and the mp3 player was connected.
I however was listening in the background and from my wife's description was expecting something along the same lines as Chip Davis' stuff. I think not.
It's not bad, a more hard rock kind of sound and frankly a less feel for Christmas. Some songs are pretty good, such as Wiszt list but again the emphasis is more toward rock. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't buy it on my own but I buy very little music anyway.
The vocals were not spectacular but weren't bad. This seems to be to be an acquired taste that I just haven't acquired yet but the wife likes it. It could be that I was just expecting something else. Remember Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (Single Disc) and The Godfather Part III - The Coppola Restoration were both ok movies but suffer terribly in comparison with the spectacular movies that came before them (yes even Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (Special Edition).
If you are looking for the next Mannheim Steamroller I'd give it a pass and just pick up more of their stuff. If however you want a new sound that does celebrate Christmas AS Christmas with a harder rock sound then you might have a winner here.
