Keith Emerson makes a Christmas album with an 1980s sound. Does not sounds like a happy Christmas to me.

It ain't.

Keith Emerson does all instruments here and gets help from a children choir too. Pass me the sick bag, please. The rest is Keith Emerson playing keyboards over some pretty average melodies with this 1980s sound which was good in the 1980s, but is pretty terrible in 2009. If there was any soul in these melodies, these souls are now on a small boat somewhere in the Atlantic, hoping to seek policital asylum in Iceland. The music is sterile and pretty bad. This is the type of music you get pestered with in a shopping mall. I do not want it in my living room. The whole album is plastic fantastic and nothing more. Bring me some slippers and some kippers.

2 stars (this generosity due to my respect for Keith Emerson and it's Christmas Eve)
