 Christmas Defined January 6, 2007

These guys outdid themselves with this very special, all-time Christmas album. Their unique style is especially appropriate for the Christmas season.
Find it and buy it! You'll be glad.

I wish I had taken Bobbbb's review to heart before I bought this album. I agree wholeheartedly that, while this isn't bad, and may be something different to those unacustomed to a capella groups, it is NOT the innovative sounds of the Nylons when they were the original group. I'm a big fan of their early work, but anything from the 90's on just is not the Nylons. I was very disappointed in this album, and I'll be playing my "Rockapella Christmas" album by the group Rockapella over and over again instead of this one. Rockapella has the spark and the fun that the Nylons used to have, in spades.
Best Christmas CD December 3, 2004

I love the Nylons, and when I discovered this CD, I was no less impressed with it. My favorite Christmas song through the years has been "little Drummer Boy", and the Nylons sing it better than any one else I've heard so far. I also love "Carol of the Bells", and "Secret of Christmas". This is the one Christmas CD I can't wait to listen to, and usually start the day after Thanksgiving. As a matter of fact, I recently moved and my CD is in a box somewhere. After several days of searching with no results, I decided I'll just have to buy another one. I couldn't go without listening to the Nylons even for one year!
Excellent Nylons' Christmas CD February 18, 2004

My absolute favorite holiday CD. A capella sound is clear. Songs sung with feeling and verve. I always listen to the entire CD; never skipping a song as is my usual habit. It's also my favorite holiday CD to gift to friends. I enjoy it's simplicity...being mindful to the lyrics and melody, not trying to create a new song by brutalizing an original score like so many other artists do.
 Not unpleasant, but not the Nylons January 24, 2004

If you want a CD of very ordinary, though pleasant Christmas music done in a basically elevator-music style, you may like this album. If you love the Nylons, as you are accustomed to hearing them on albums such as One Size Fits All, you'll wonder who the heck is singing. Only Carol of the Bells is actually done as the Nylons do what they do; the rest are very generic, stereotypical light-jazz treatments with lots of over-sweetened strings in the backgrounds. The accapella work and sense of rhthym and excitement that make the Nylons so wonderful are missing, except for Carol of the Bells.
