Ska-La-La-La-La

These bunch of believers return quickly with another project - this one a ska Christmas album. The last time we heard from our superheros, they were hamming it up with tunes like "Mission Trip To Mexico," and they start off here on the same humorous note. "Snowball Fight" proclaims loudly, "Now I know / why God made snow . . . snowball fight!" Track one, "Light Up The World," with its encouraging point, runs a sideline joke about a massive Christmas light fixture. "Too Many Santas" audible-izes the thought that many kids probably have about believing in a man that seems to be at every department store. "So many Santas / I'm looking for the Prince of Peace / So many Santas / but only one King of Kings." The song "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" has a catchy Police-like guitar cha-cha-riff that's pretty fun. This is the common theme between every song - fun. While there's no massive riffage here to beef up the sound, the up-picking guitar does carry the energy along, which should sweep this bunch of believers into the hearts of Frenzy and Supertones fans.
