This is definately one of those albums you have to listen to twice before making your opinions about. On the first listen you may only remember the really really bad songs and think the whole thing sucks. Upon further inspection though, this is actually an awesome Christmas CD.

Each classic carol has a new alternative rock-type revision, but most of them maintain that joyous christmas feeling you look for in the time of giving and loving. "First Noel" is beautiful, along with many others. "Last Christmas" "Happy Christmas" and "Miracle of Christmas" are all amazing, and a great addition to any christmas album collection.

There are some duds, but only a few. "Jungle Bells" "Christmassacre" and "We Three Kings" get obnoxious, annoying remakes, but those are really the only stand-out bad ones. If you're tired of hearing Nat King Cole every year and want some new alternative rock versions of your favorite yuletide carols, then this CD is for you!

The Taste of Christmas compilation is a collection of holiday music from artists on the Taste of Chaos tour, with exclusive newly recorded versions of Christmas songs. These bands were on the 2005 tour and were mostly unknown at the time, and for the most part are still unknown now. The best known group nowadays is the Plain White T's. The songs are of varying quality; there are some good ones and some bad ones. I like the cover versions of "Happy Xmas", "Last Christmas" and "The First Noel" and the original song "We Might Be Alone Tonight". Of the songs that I don't like, "Christmassacre" is the worst. This is a decent rock Christmas CD.

overall, this is actually a great Christmas cd. i'd say its weakest point is sadly Christmassacre by From First to Last. i was actually pretty disappointed, because i'm a pretty big fan of them. the high points on the cd would have to be definitely right where it starts. Bert McCracken does an awesome job with Happy Christmas (war is over), and it shows how well he can really sing. Miracle of Christmas by Funeral for a Friend is a great song as well. then Bert McCracken is back with the rest of the Used on Alone this Holiday, which is an amazing song.
