Editorial Review:
Is the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's Christmas Eve and Other Stories a holiday rock opera? Or perhaps just a holiday prog-rock disc? Or maybe it's New Age? Whatever the case may be, this isn't your typical Christmas album. Filled with electric guitar solos, plenty of synthesized keyboards, a children's choir, and lively drumming, Christmas Eve can only be compared to one other record, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's other holiday disc, The Christmas Attic. On this CD, angelic vocal solos (on numbers such as "The Prince of Peace") are interspersed with driving instrumentals. Sentimental, occasionally bombastic, but as high-concept as holiday albums can be. --Jason Verlinde

CHRISTMAS EVE AND OTHER STORIES is in all a gentle children's choir concert, a religious story, a family story, an instrumental Christmas montage, an elaborate rock 'n' roll opera, and finally a cry for God's mercy among our nations. Trans-Siberian Orchestra probably did not know that they were going to end up making music history with hit titles like "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" (a hard rock ... Read More
Rating: - A Must Have Christmas cd!
If you love Trans Siberian Orchestra you'll love this cd but even if you don't know who they are this is a great place to start. You might find this one at your local library or might be able to listen to tracks here on Amazon.
Rating: - EXCELLENT!
I cannot rate this CD high enough! It's awsome! Words can't express how I feel about it!
Rating:  - Dissapointing
I was highly disappointed in this CD. There was only one really good tune on this.
