Full title - Christmas Time (Don't Let The Bells End). 2003 Christmas single recorded with Kiss, Aerosmith, & Jane's Addiction collaborator Bob Ezrin on production duties. It's got a kiddies choir on it & it's got tubular bells - it's your basic full-on C

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a Rock and Roll Christmas!!!!, March 22, 2004

This is an awesome single from the best Rock and Roll band of the last decade, The Darkness. The single cover picture is wonderful, drawn by Jim Fitzpatrick, the artist who drew a lot of Thin Lizzy album covers. As for the single itself, there are two tracks, and they're both great:
1. Christmas Time- Rocks in an unconventional way, complete with bells and a childrens choir! Justin Hawkins delivers the vocals like only he can, and you'll thank him for it. Also has some Rocking Thin Lizzy-style dual soloing. Makes you wish everyday was Christmas!
2. I Love You 5 Times- Great slow song, evocative of 1950's style love songs. Reminds me of I'm Gonna Crawl, by Led Zeppelin. Not as good as the title track, but still sweet and worthy of your listening.

Don't hesitate. If you like The Darkness, you will like this single. Doesn't matter if it's December or July, this single Rocks all year round!

4.0 out of 5 stars Rocking Christmas, December 16, 2004

Led Zep Fan (Vilseck, Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Christmas Time (Audio CD)

The songs on here are both good tunes. The Christmas song is by far the better song though. It is just a really good Christmas tune, and kind of catchy. This album does rock though, I would buy permission to land first though to see how you like them. There is some pretty good guitar work on here which I enjoy being a guitarist myself and the solo in I LOVE YOU 5 TIMES is pretty good. It is worth your money.
