Maybe This Christmas Too
Customer Reviews
Rating:  - Carolers are at my door. Don't wanna hear them anymore.
This sequel to Maybe This Christmas features (mostly) alt-rock performers doing Christmas songs. It features an about even mix of older Christmas songs and new ones. The very best performances here are of the very oldest songs, especially "O Holy Night" by Avril Lavigne & Chantel Kreviazuk, "Go Tell It on the Mountain" by Oh Susanna and "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear" by Sixpence None the Richer. The new songs aren't really all that memorable, generally speaking, although "Green Christmas" by Barenaked Ladies is good. Cute cover, though. Consider this to be a lukewarm review.
Rating: - Interesting, and different - not as good as earlier albums in this series
My favorites would be: "Donde Esta Santa Claus?", "Green Christmas", "Donna & Blitzen", and "It Came Upon A Midnight Clear".
Rating:  - YIKES - STAY AWAY!!!!
After listening to "Maybe This Christmas" we were very excited to listen to this CD only to be extremely let down! This album was not only boring, but outright depressing and sad. If I was already depressed during the holidays, well this would just send me over the edge! As for Avril Lavigne's "Oh Holy Night", I must heartily disagree with some of the other comments about her song. This was, by far, the worst song! It lacked all passion and depth - rather nasal, superficial, and without any heart! And while the Flaming Lips are musical pioneers, their version of "White Christmas" leaves you wanting to plug your ears with candy canes. The sole bright spot is Guster's "Donde Esta Santa Claus", which, while cute, is not nearly up to their usual par. I don't recall listening to an album expecting another wonderful compilation only to be so let down. Please, if you want a Merry Holiday season skip this album, just keep listening to the first album, "Maybe This Christmas" and "Maybe
This Christmas Tree!
Happy Holidays!
Rating:  - Nice christmas compilation
I dont understand people's tiffs on here with Avril Lavigne. Whats up with this "TONE DEAF" stuff?
I think she is an amazing artist. And, having a very dynamic musician such as Chantal to be by her side makes the song even better to listen to.
The Be Good Tanyas song was really well done, as was Six Pense Non The Richer, and Martina Sorbara. The others were quite good too.
The only one I didnt enjoy so much was Lisa Hannigan. Christmas is supposed to be joyful... not depressing.
Rating:  - WOW
Ok....Let us start with the MOST DREADFUL TRACK!
3. O Holy Night - Avril Lavigne & Chantal Kreviazuk::::
This would be an exceptional track is you lose TONE DEAF teeny bopper Avril Lavigne! With singers like her in the music biz makes you wonder who the HELL is giving out record deals. I would rather lavish my ears with Britney than listen to this TONE DEAF song (When Avril Lavigne opens her pie hole!)
Chantal Kreviazuk sounds great and when you pair up a TONE DEAF Avril Lavigne (who opens the track) with a good singer like Chantal Kreviazuk your in trouble. I was cringing during whole first part of this song until TONE DEAF Avril STOPPED stabbing me in my ear.
Anyway... the rest of the cd is boring.
Dave Matthews Band: 9 out of 10 *
Barenaked Ladies: 9 out of 10 *
Sixpence None The Richer: 9 out of 10 *
The rest is an average: 3 out or 10 *
Oh yeah and 3. O Holy Night - Avril Lavigne & Chantal Kreviazuk
1 out of 10 * thanks to TONE DEAF Avril Lavigne!
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR BUY THE Maybe This Christmas and SKIP THE TOO!!!!
AND BTW DID I MENTION THAT Avril Lavigne IS SOOOOO TONE DEAF!!!
