This has to be the Vandals' musical masturpiece! It's is ridiculous, yet true, with more obsecnity and insanity than Christmas itself. Songs like Thanx for nothing and A gun for christmas are excellent parodies; and Hanging myself from the tree and Christmas time for my... are strangely emotional ballads while maintaining a high level of humor. The whole thing ends with a beautifully orchestrated instrumental medley that shows just how hard the band worked on this one. If you must own one Vandals album... or one Christmas album, let this be the one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Punk Rock Christmas Cheer, December 26, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Oi to the World (Audio CD)

This CD is extremely amuzing. With songs like "Grandpa's last Christmas" and "My First Christmas as a Woman" who can go wrong?!? The songs are not only funny, but very cool too. My favorites are "Oi to the World" (No Doubt sings it too) and "Here I am Lord" (which has the coolest bass line I have ever heard). This is a definate must-have. So get it!!! It is very hard to find!!!!!

This may not be the ideal album for the entire family sitting around the fireplace on Christmas Eve, but it's still a Christmas classic. "My Frst X-mas (as a Woman)" and "Christmas Time for My [...]" are sweetly melodic and and the lyrics are hilarious. "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies" is a little more hardcore but the theme from The Nutcracker is cleverly woven into the electric guitar insanity. There is something here for people of all sorts of musical tastes, and it makes an excellent offbeat gift for people other than your grandparents.
