Customer Reviews
Christmasville
Not the traditional Mannheim Steamroller material. Would not have purchased if I had listened to it first.
Christmasville rehash of the Grinch
I've always loved Mannheim Steamroller. Every one of Chip's albums' is fantastic. Christasville is his one exception. The music is for the most part a rehash of the TV cartoon version of the Dr. Souse's "The Grinch that stole Christmas". This album lacks the originality and creativity of chip's other compositions. The mediocre vocals add nothing to the presentation. Chip should have driven his steamroller right by this project. This music may work in the theme park atmosphere for which it was written but, for a stand alone album, nada!
Buy this recording only if you are a total Rollerhead and must have everything Chip has ever produced or your little crumb crunchers begged you for it and they are sold out Grinch fans.
Avoid this recording at all costs if you truly love the fine compositions Chip has produced in the past and would like to keep your collection untainted by below standard recordings.
Wonderful Holiday Music
I love this cd. I have been listening to it ever since it arrived and still have not tired of it.
