Emma: **.5
Charlie: *
Emma: Hm. Well. This album has a lot of interesting sounds on it. Musical saw-like sounds, for example. Bright Eyes' distinctive voice, for another. Myself, I'm not a very big fan of his indie sort of maybe best described (sorry all my fan friends) as whiney. Doing festive standards. Maybe your thing? Not mine.
Charlie: Bright Eyes made a name for himself in part by wrapping his emotion-filled warbles in songs and production that made it seem on purpose, and even at times beautiful. For a Christmas album, though, there's no changing the original tunes. And so: the result is very nearly unlistenable. Sorry, Conor. Sounds like it was a fun day in the studio, but I'm not buying it.
