Barenaked Ladies - Barenaked for the Holidays

Barenaked for the Holidays Review

Few bands are better suited than the Barenaked Ladies to take obnoxious old Christmas jingles to an entirely new level of obnoxiousness. The Canadian pop group does a smack-up job on this generous collection, where they tackle children's relics like "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," curious seasonal fare such as Band-Aid's Ethiopian charity single "Do They Know It's Christmas," and a handful of tongue-in-cheek originals that share the bookish humor of the band's hits like "One Week" and "Brian Wilson." Even the inclusion of three Hannukah songs doesn't raise the bar for reverence. The disc also includes collaborations with Sarah McLachlan and Michael Buble. --Aidin Vaziri

A mix of good and wierd

I thought the song w/ Sarah McLaughlin was great - my favorite x-mas song of the season. Other songs I would drop off the CD. But it does get you in the mood for the holidays.

Unbelievably entertaining. Every song on this CD should become a classic and played during every Christmas/Holiday season. Entertaining yet thoughtful, so good I bought copies for every family member.

Hmm... Looks good sitting next to "Christmas with the Brady Bunch"

To be fair, BNL are brilliant at pop self-referential satire and maybe a Holiday Album by them is too Gordian an entanglement. I fell in love with them years ago and have an evil penchant for collecting Christmas albums. To re-attribute the ad campaign, "The Season Belongs to Cheese." So I leapt at a retail copy. Sadly, I wasn't expecting this one to end up between to "A Froggy Christmas" and "Steel Drum Island Christmas."

The wit, singing and spunk just ain't to be found. Nothing on the album can get me through it a second time so I can't even muster the here-abouts obligatory second star for a good track or two.

I'm in denial and telling myself that it's a counterfeit sound-alike band rather than just a gig to pay the rent.
