The punnily-titled Let It Snow Baby… Let It Reindeer has much to offer fans of the band as well as listeners in search of an untraditional approach to Christmas music. Much of the material here was already released as their first holiday outing, 2003's Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand. Those ten tunes were a fun, indie spin on yuletide tunes by the feisty new kings of Christian pop-punk. Appended to those, we now have seven more songs recorded in 2007. In the intervening four years, the band's signed to Capitol Records and their sound is far more produced and polished. It's also clearly better, but what the group lacked for in talent early on, they made up for in spirit. The newer songs are all solid, and they really highlight how far Matt Thiessen has come as a frontman. The walking bass line to their version of "Sleigh Ride" might sound uninspired, but the tightly-wound Beach Boys-ish harmonies and explosive guitars more than make up for that. --Mike McGonigal --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

Product Description

2007 holiday album from the Alternative Christian rockers. From the glory of 'Handel's Messiah' and 'Angels We Have Heard On High' to the goofiness of 'I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas' and 'Santa Claus Is Thumbin' To Town', this yuletide album captures the many sides the season...and of Relient K. Includes 10 holiday classics and six self-penned songs for the season. Capitol. --This text refers to an alternate Audio CD edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but just a rehash., October 23, 2007

By	Timothy Scott Hosey "Relient K Fanatic" (Bradenton, FL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Let It Snow Baby... Let It Reindeer (Audio CD)

I love Relient K. Hands-down, my favorite band of all time. Their music is fantastic.

My fanboyisms aside, I sadly have to rate this one with just four stars, as most of the songs on this album are just rehashes from their "Deck The Halls, Bruise Your Hand" album. There are a select few new tracks ('Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas', 'Sleigh Ride', 'Merry Christmas, Here's To Many More'), and they're amazing. They fit perfectly into Relient K's style (following their Five Score and Seven Years Ago album) and are very good. And a FYI: 'In Like A Lion (Always Winter)' is from their Apathetic EP album, so it also is from an older album. The other tracks are still good, but fit their old punk style (much more upbeat).

The songs mesh nicely, and all have a wonderful Christmas theme to them.

This album goes from fast pop-punk ('12 Days of Christmas') to mellow ('In Like A Lion (Always Winter)', 'Merry Christmas, Here's To Many More'), and in between (like the down right silly 'Good King Wenceslas,' which is labeled as an Untitled Track on Amazon's track listing). All around, I'd very much recommend this album, even if you're not a Relient K fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly fun music, November 26, 2007

This review is from: Let It Snow Baby... Let It Reindeer (Audio CD)

I'm new-ish to Relient K, heard their Christmas song "12 Days of Christmas" for the first time on a local Christian radio station this morning and knew I had to have the album. (Gotta love MP3 downloads). The whole album is great - previous reviewers have stated some of the songs were on other albums but I don't have any others so no worry for me! The album is a great mix of sounds.. some are more mellow and some are just so full of energy and fun that I know my kids are going to love them! Their passion for the music they sing is apparent in every note!

Not much new since their last Christmas album. I only like their Christmas music.
