Free Music Notes for Christmas with the Beach Boys Album
Free Music Review: This is a rip off, but a glorious rip off.
Hit: 5 Stars
Like the person who previously left a comment has said, this is exactly the same as the other Beach Boys release "The Ultimate Christmas" with one song missing. However, i personally haven't ever seen that release sold anywhere, and i only have a copy that my friend made me. So even though that release already exists, it's still cool that they decided to re-release it for this years holiday season, since it's a top notch Christmas album with wonderful Christmas songs that i listen to every holiday season ever since i discovered it.
The first half is better than the other half, since it's essentially the original Beach Boys Christmas album that was officially released in 1964. They were in their prime then, and their voices are gorgeous as usual. Perfect for these songs, including the cute little pop tunes that Brian wrote himself, like the big Christmas season hit "Little Saint Nick". Out of the seasonal covers, "Blue Christmas" is my favorite. We won't hear Brian singing this beautifully solo until around the Pet Sounds album.
The second half is also very enjoyable, but not as good since this is the late 70s now, and needless to say the Beach Boys aren't as good as they used to be. That's really nit-picking though since it's really nice to have more Beach Boys Christmas songs besides just the original 1964 album. My favorites include the flopped obscure 1974 single "Child Of Winter", the absolutely gorgeous and romantic "Morning Christmas" by Dennis Wilson, and Brian's "Winter Symphony". The rest are quite good as well, only complaint here is that some of the songs are actually tunes from the 1978 album MIU turned into Christmas songs. That's not the group's fault though because these Christmas songs came first before they were rejected by the record company.
So if you don't already have these Christmas songs, definitely buy! It's one of the best Christmas albums out there it'll be a perfect addition to your Christmas music collection. If you already have the Ultimate Christmas release, then don't bother. Nothing new on here, and it's just a re-release to take advantage of the holiday season. Needless to say, i hope that more people buy it and discover either the Beach Boys's music as a whole, or at least appreciate them through Christmas songs. I personally can't wait to hear this album again, as i've been saving it for the holiday season.
