Customer Reviews

Bit of a let down
I've collected quite a few alternative Christmas albums over the years in order to tune out the schmaltz and rubbish that assaults my eardrums in the shops and on the telly.

The write-up for this album sounded interesting and I wasn't put off by the fact that a couple of the tracks were on the Viper collections I already own. In fact, this made the album sound more promising.

Unfortunately these tracks are missing a certain sparkle and suffer from a lack of humour, sass and novelty. Overall the collection felt a bit lifeless and downbeat. There are better collections out there, in particular I'm Gonna Lasso Santa Claus and Papa Ain't No Santa Claus.
