3.0 out of 5 stars More of a collector's item than anything else, April 14, 2002
This review is from: Holidayland (Audio CD)
This Christmas EP is an appealing package, with cute cover art and a good title. The main problem is that the CD itself contains only five songs, all of which had been released before. Granted, some of them were slightly difficult to come by (most of them were on eMusic's TMBG Unlimited service, but I don't know how many people actually signed up for that), so most people will probably be getting something new, but when two of the tracks are readily available on studio albums, it seems like TMBG could have given us a little more. It's not like they exhausted their supply of holiday songs; there's always "Christmas Cards," as well as "We Just Go Nuts At Christmastime" (never officially released at all) and "Olive The Other Reindeer" (although there might have been copyright restrictions forbidding them from using that last one). This is something that a TMBG fan will probably want to listen to during the holidays, but it isn't an essential release by the band.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Start to the Holidays, November 15, 2001

J. Bates (Arlington, VA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Holidayland (Audio CD)
Holidayland is a compilation of five songs recorded at different times- 1. a cover, Santa Claus; 2.Santa's Beard, from the album "Lincoln"; 3.Feast of Lights, a bittersweet Hannukah tune; 4.Careless Santa, from Mono Puff's first album and 5. O Tannenbaum, sung in German.

All are done in TMBG's signature style, and have happy sing-along goodness for all your festive occasions.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, February 19, 2002
By 
This review is from: Holidayland (Audio CD)
Before you buy this you should realize what your getting for your [money]. Five songs, most of which aren't very good, and one of which (Santa's Beard) you almost certainly already own. All this amounts to just over 10 minutes of music. I'm as much of a TMBG fan as the next guy, but this simply isn't worth more than a buck or two.
