Title: This Scrooge doesn't like "Christmas"
Review: I am a late-comer to this album, and appear to be a dissenting voice, alas. I found this album dull, the biggest problems being that the arrangements have no sparkle (maybe they were meant to capture that lush, and--dare I say--bloated 1950's sound) and the singers (with the exception of Karen Morrow) have no personality. When dealing with material this familiar, you have to bring something extra, and despite the obvious talent that went into this, it is just serviceable. The whole thing reminded me of a Lawrence Welk tribute to Berlin, or a big-budget cruise ship show.
Is the review positive or negative?
