   For the price, it's great. And the best Christmas album I own. Sure, there are some songs that aren't that good, but there's For the price, it's great. And the best Christmas album I own. Sure, there are some songs that aren't that good, but there's going to be when there's 40+ songs in a set. But when it's good ("O Come O Come Emmanuel" on disc 1, "Sister Winter" on disc 5") it's really, really good.… Expand

   So maybe he could've condensed the five cd's onto two...Sufjan tends towards being encyclopedic, so get over it. The music is so So maybe he could've condensed the five cd's onto two...Sufjan tends towards being encyclopedic, so get over it. The music is so enjoyable, there are some wonderful influences, like old Tennessee blues and good-ol' American folk music. This set made me fall in love with Christmas music, and is such a relieve from the stuff they play in the stores starting at Thanksgiving. It's the only Sufjan I've heard, and definitely makes me yearn for more.… Expand

   'Tis the season for...five EPs from Sufjan Stevens, Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-blah. Talk about urge overkill. This guy puts out product 'Tis the season for...five EPs from Sufjan Stevens, Tra-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-blah. Talk about urge overkill. This guy puts out product like brain-dead metacritics throwing 10s at music that won't stand the test of a month's time. I loved Come on Feel the Illinoise..., but in hindsight I realized that that record should have been slapped with a parental sticker warning, "Too much attention will turn Sufjan Stevens into the Sally Field of rock." And now we're paying the price, in more ways than one. Look, the holidays suck enough, what with having forced conversation with relatives you can't stand, seeing how many obese Stepford Wives you can hurdle at 5 a.m. at the threshold of your local Walmart, or putting yourself into Third World debt, but five EPs Sufjan? And of holidaze-influenced songs? What's the matter, you couldn't come up with an album extolling the virtues of Richard Speck? If I want to be bored to tears I'll read this blog, or listen to your next weekly offering. You gotta spare us this impulse of yours to strap on a guitar every waking moment.… Expand
