Scott Weiland - The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

uh, y'know, the sounds that sound good together... sometimes... and sometimes sounds like the disgusting "squish squish" sound Slicker's mom makes whenever she walks

Scott Weiland - The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Post by Diabolical »

Scott Weiland has a Christmas album. Yes, that Scott Weiland. And it is awesome.
Most of it is done in the classic crooner style reminiscent of Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and even a bit of Nat King Cole. As I listen to the album I get the mental image of him on stage with a glass of scotch having a blast with these tunes. Hell, on I'll Be Home For Christmas he sounds drunk.

There are a couple of misses on here for me, specifically the bossa nova-esque Silent Night, the reggae-styled O Holy Night and the original tune Happy Christmas And Many More. With the rest of the album very classic and throwback these few feel out of place.

Amazon has samples of each tune.

Reaction to this album has been split right down the middle between love and hate. I think the haters are taking it far too seriously - its a Christmas album!

A fun video for the single Winter Wonderland

Indeed. I was going to go for the MP3, but they raised the price from $5.99 to $8.99 before I got around to it. At that point, the CD was only a dollar more, so I got it instead and it arrived a few days ago.

I'm having a hard time getting my head around the concept. Once I've achieved that, I might actually click one of those links for a listen. Not yet though.
