I give this a five-star because if you love holiday fare but want a different twist - specifically rock w/soulful singing at times this is it. There's a reason the TSO is becoming one of America's favorites. The music is a combination of pomp and circumstance with rock as well as having singers bringing the soul you would expect from an R&B album (a few songs). Overall this will quickly become a favorite but I must say this as a 70's rock fan ... that's who I would say it's a definite buy for but it's also enjoyable for anyone who wants vibrant Christmas music as well.
