Finally something different for the holidays! This is a excellent cd, it has a good mix of bands and songs. There are happy songs and some sad songs. I especially recommend the tracks by Blink-182, Fall Out Boy and Punchline. I also love the covers. And it's a good cause, buy this cd now!

5.0 out of 5 stars Busting Out Christmas Carols in The Unusual Sense, December 15, 2008

Christmas albums are always the hardest to tackle, since everybody either knows the classic songs, or the original songs either don't fit, or don't stick. But to add an element of punk to your Christmas party, you can't go wrong with this charity record with the stalwarts and new faces of the genre. The result? A surprisingly great record, with excellent takes on the classics, and originals that should be classics.

The Highlights:
Forget December
Yule Shoot Your Eye Out (The song is a whole lot better than the title)
I'll Be Home For Christmas (Best song by the group, Christmas or otherwise)
Ex-Miss (NFG almost never disappoints, and this song is no exception)
So This Is Christmas (One of the best takes I've heard of the song)
The Most Wonderful Time of The Year
A Cradle in Bethlehem (Probably the best of the disc)

Sure you have your sleepers (Sleigh Bells and Wine), and punk for punk's sake (Christmas Night of the Zombies), but there's certainly enough holiday cheer and Grinchiness for the price of admission. So if you're looking for a rockin' and original Christmas record, or if you just like one of the bands, I promise you, you won't be disappointed.
