5.0 out of 5 stars I've had a lot of fun with this album., November 17, 2009

This is a surprisingly well rounded Christmas record. The moods range from solemn, to playful, to triumphant, and back again. The arrangements are great, the production is great, and (most importantly) the singing is terrific. Highlights were-- Get Into the Spirit, which did in fact get me into the spirit; and Winter Song, which was genuinely powerful and moving to me. The traditional selections were well chosen and given excellent renditions as well. I highly recommend this record to any of the more cheerful metal-heads out there.

Don't think just because this is Christmas music that it doesn't rock. Remember who is singing it. I will be putting this one in the CD player along with my Twisted Sister Christmas CD and I will bang my head around the Christmas Tree! Rob's voice sounds so clear on this CD and yes there are some good metal screams. "Oh Holy Night" sounds so good that it brought a tear to my eye. Buy it, you won't be dissapointed.

The idea of Rob Halford singing Christmas songs is to many, frankly, a contradictory pairing. Somehow this odd bit of alchemy works, and works quite well. The musicianship is superb, and the songs range from the understated What Child is This to the anthemic final track, O Come All Ye Faithful. Halford is a unique talent, and while many will dismiss this effort without ever hearing it, I've been burning it up in the CD player since it arrived. The dreamlike, soul-baring confessional Light of the World is as great a song of faith as I've ever heard. After hearing it for a week, I looked to see who wrote this. Surprise: Rob Halford. Listen to the sample tracks on amazon.com, this is a powerful album, I highly recommend it
