Oct 31, 2013Rather than subverting culture, the band goes one step further, subverting the expectations of listeners by performing the songs without irony. Most surprising, however, is how well these songs work with Bad Religion's driving and melodic style and Greg Graffin's distinctive voice.
-
Dec 19, 2013Brett Gurewitz’s buzzsaw guitars sound cool, but the blend of punk rock and carols turns out to be too predictable, so you know whether you need to hear this one even without hearing it.
-
Dec 2, 2013All songs are played relatively straight--nary a jingle bell in earshot--which is a good choice, as it offsets the devotional aspects of more traditional carols like ‘O Come All Ye Faithful’ and ‘Angels We Have Heard On High’.
-
Dec 30, 2013The nine tracks here turn to the old-school and the classic, making the carols you sung at school into something better suited to a night doing shots of eggnog in Fat Mike’s shed.

Nov 21, 2013Bad Religion’s Christmas album is one of the most unusual in recent memory.
-
Nov 14, 2013Christmas Songs is a fun enough, but ultimately non-essential piece of the Bad Religion canon.
-
Dec 16, 2013As a Bad Religion record, it’s certainly not gold and you won’t be demanding myrrh.
-
Dec 12, 2013It's very much a lump of coal in the stocking.

May 21, 2014A very bad album, avoid it at all costs. If you're a big fan of this band, I advise to steer clear of it because you'll lose almost all hope for it..
