Editorial Reviews
Leave it to The Superions to save the holidays from the usual stale chestnuts and dull oldie retreads. Following on the heels of their multiplat... er, real popular hit song "Who Threw That Ham At Me," the 11 future holiday standards on "Destination... Christmas!" perfectly capture the many moods of the season: despair, avalanches, deranged abominable snowmen, leaden fruitcakes, and of course, laughter. High-energy dance songs mixed with numbers to chill to, The Superions do it all on "Destination... Christmas!" "Destination... Christmas!" defines the modern Christmas classic with a traditional twist. "It's hard to say who our musical influences for this project were, because we don't want to get sued," adds Fred. Frankly, the response The Superions have received from playing this record for friends has been hysterical laughter. It's a very radio-friendly, party-friendly album; even Noah's grandmother likes it! "Destination... Christmas!" will be released on Fanatic Records and is destined to be a perennial Christmas favorite... hopefully

If you like the B-52's (and you do otherwise you wouldn't be here!) then for some reason you need further justification before clicking add to cart. Well here it is.
While this is definitely not the B's, it has the humor you're expecting from Fred. Although a bit home-brewed at times in sound with the cheesy synths and occasional cheap-o drum machines (on purpose I'm sure?) there are some truly catchy moments (think Butterbean) and more than a few surprises. "Mrs. Claus in a salad? She was tossed..." Yikes! For the most part it's G rated.
Sleazy beats abound, Fred's tongue planted firmly in cheek - I dare you not to start tapping your feet for Fruitcake and Santa Je T'Aime or giggle at Chillin' at Christmas or Crummy Christmas Tree (where'd that tuba come from?). There is no shortage of filler items either, but even the weak ones are redeemed by some pretty spot-on lyrics that you've lived or will live on Christmas with friends, family and well, all those "other" people that make this time of year so very "special".
This is positively a party icebreaker and will surely find its way in your Christmas rotation tradition.
"What's this? Mouse droppings all over the gifts?"
"Turn off the lights quick! Those carolers are across the street and they always expect money or liquor!"
Thank you for telling it the way it is for Christmas Fred!

The Superions are a side project by B-52s singer Fred Schneider. This Christmas album has eleven original songs on it, which are all funny, silly and ridiculous. I like it, my sister hates it, but she isn't writing this review. If you enjoy Fred's sense of humor in the B-52s, you will most likely enjoy this album.

Not much evolution...
Not sure what I was expecting, but probably something more creative from the formerly more creative members of the B52s. Read more
