This Year's Christmas Album Releases

The surprisingly good and the cringe-worthy bad

Bad Religion - Christmas Songs (Epitaph/Warner)

"Intelligently arranged and delivered as only Bad Religion know how – quickly and abrasively."

Mary J Blige - A Mary Christmas (Interscope/Universal)

"The most challenging moments are those bordering on festive cringe rather than intrigue."

Kim Wilde - Wilde Winter Songbook (Public Opinion Music/MGM)

"Wilde Winter Songbook shocks and delights by being slightly tipsy and in great spirits."

Buddy Goode - It's A Buddy Goode Christmas (ABC/Universal)

"If you find this album under the Christmas tree, it's definitely worth a spin."
