Relient K - Let It Snow Baby...Let It Reindeer
Pre-review from
www.JesusFreakHideout.com:
In 2003, Relient K made their Christmas project debut with Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand, a slender but witty deluxe EP of sorts that was only made available packaged with their current release at the time. The EP has surfaced a time or two since, and now the 10-track project has been repackaged and re-released with seven additional songs and a new title. For those who never got their hands on the original, Let It Snow, Baby... Let It Reindeer is an absolute gem. A mix of where Relient K has been and where they're headed stylistically is captured here, with brand new exclusives making the original release even better. Fans might not be too keen on double-dipping for six new songs ("In Like A Lion" was previously on The Apathetic EP), but the new tracks are too good to pass on. Including fresh takes on traditionals like "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas," "Sleigh Ride" and even an old classic, "I'm Gettin' Nuttin' For Christmas" - which fits in perfectly with the RK style, musically and lyrically - Let It Snow, Baby... Let It Reindeer is the Christmas rock album of the decade and all-around one of the better modern Christmas projects you can find today...

If anyone remembers from 2003, Relient K released a Christmas album called Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand and it was only sold when you bought another album of theirs around that time...anyway, it rocked. And it sounds like this one will too.
