4.0 out of 5 stars NLO Xmas, December 1, 2009

This review is from: Spirit of Christmas (Audio CD)

Given the enormous success of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, it was only a matter of time before someone attempted to take a piece of the proverbial yule log for themselves. Bearing a striking resemblance to TSO in both name and sound, Northern Light Orchestra wraps the timeless music of Christmas and electrifying classic rock up into a fanciful present that will outlast any toy in Santa's sack. 17 original seasonal delights book-ended by the irresistible 'Celebrate Christmas' and majestic 'Bye Bye Bethlehem'. Those contributing to this winter riff-land include: George Lynch (Dokken), David Ellefson (Megadeth), Dizzy Reed (Guns N' Roses), Doug Aldrich (Whitesnake), Bruce Kulick (KISS), Kip Winger (Winger), Chuck Wright (Quiet Riot), Jason Hook (Alice Cooper), to name but a few. Unfortunately, the cover art looks more like a melting iceberg than anything to do with traditional holiday festivities, but it's the music that matters most. And this lends truth to the old adage that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Yes, TSO comparisons are unavoidable, but just as each shopping mall has a jolly old fat man in a red suit and white beard, there's room for more than one Christmas soundtrack. So break out the eggnog, hang the stockings with care and revel in near magical melodies devoted to the birth of Jesus Christ.

Being a huge fan of TSO, I didn't think I'd ever find another band to match their mix of rock/metal and Christmas. Well here it is. This band and this CD are excellent. Agreat mix of metal and Christmas. The musicianship is outstandind as well as the song writing. So if you want to rock out on your Christmas, get this CD.
