Title: How the Mighty Have Fallen
Product review: There is one, I repeat, only one good song on this entire CD. Christmas Time is Here perfectly blends that unmistakable Chicago sound with the warmth and spirit of the holidays, thanks to Robert Lamm's smooth vocals and some fine underplaying from the horn section. The rest of the disc is a travesty with the band totally embarrassing themselves by trying to rock out on such numbers as The Little Drummer Boy, Feliz Navidad (?!?) and Santa Claus is Coming to Town. All of the inappropriate (and often downright silly) arrangements make them sound like the second rate over-the-hill party band that they've truly become. I'm sure if this album were made in their heyday under the production of a James William Guercio, Phil Ramone or a David Foster, the results would have been much different.
