5 out of 5 stars Love MOE. Had to have the Christmas CD........2007-01-12

This is a very original collection of songs from a very unusual, generous, jam band from upper New York State...MOE. They are an awesome band. The CDs are great travelling music for your car trip. MOE has so many CDs available: live, and studio, it would be impossible to mention them all.

4 out of 5 stars Refreshing.......2005-04-29

Too many Christmas CD's seem like they were thrown together too make a quick buck off a fleeting wave of popularity. But when a lesser known band like moe. makes a Christmas album, it seems more like they actually WANTED to do it. I really like their choice of doing a more obscure song from a holiday special. "We're a Couple of Misfits" (from Rudolph) is a blast. The surf-instrumental "Oh Hanukah" is another one the best songs here. Their original songs are not as great, and part of one of those songs, "Home", even reminds of "Heat of the Moment" by Asia (not really something I want to be reminded of). The rest of the CD is made up of a variety familiar Christmas songs, which are all done well. As another reviewer mentioned, the disc is over too soon. Even if they didn't add any more songs, it would have been cool to hear them jam a little more, being a "jam band" and all. Here's hoping they'll make a Volume 2 some day.

4 out of 5 stars A bit of something different........2002-12-14

This album could have been just another collection of the same old holiday songs that are always done, just by a different band this time. But, if you know moe., you know that they'd never let that happen. What moe. offers up is a perfect mix of old favorites, obscure gems, and even two originals. You might expect a holiday collection from moe. to be done with tongue planted firmly in cheek, but while there are moments of pure levity, there are also songs that are done almost reverently. The two originals (Rob's Together at Christmas and Al's Home) are both incredibly heartfelt and display a sentimental side of moe. that is rarely seen. In addition, there are stately readings of Carol of the Bells and Little Drummer Boy, and a downright inspired arrangement of Silent Night into Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring done on slide guitar with a Moog backing. Those alone are worth the price of the album, but you also get a few genuinely fun numbers. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer's lament We're a Couple of Misfits shows up in what can only be describes as a garage band style take, and Jingle Bells in reinterpreted in a way that leaves the band laughing at the end of the track. The album gets a little loose in places, but never places that would hurt the overall feel of the album (it's always in one of the less serious tracks). The album is fun where it needs to be, and sincere where it should be. It's a breath of fresh air from all of the same old holiday collections.

It's also worth noting that only 4000 copies of this album were pressed, so if you don't get it now, you probably won't.

4 out of 5 stars Delightful holiday CD.......2002-12-09

moe. lets loose and has fun on this delightful, funny holiday compilation. "Together at Christmas" and "Home" are great new songs, and the standards are played with joy and energy. Especially wonderful is the gorgeous slide guitar rendition of "Silent Night," which goes into a Pink Floyd-ish jam.
