Album Review: Pentatonix - A Pentatonix Christmas

StarStar

"Talent this good is rarely this soulless."

More Pentatonix Pentatonix

More graduates from yet another reality singing show, Texan a capella five-piece Pentatonix's harmonic abilities cannot be underestimated.

Their vocal acrobatics and beatboxing wow with meticulous complexity and harmonies are knocked so hard on heads, you'd never challenge them to a game of Whac-A-Mole. However, this Christ-mix of predictable standards (O Come, All Ye Faithful), odd genre mashes (Coldest Winter) and Penta-riginals (Good To Be Bad) sounds like they want a slice of Hi-5's action. Talent this good is rarely this soulless. And can we please call a moratorium on Hallelujah covers!
