Let It Snow Baby... Let It Reindeer
The punnily-titled Let It Snow Baby? Let It Reindeer has much to offer fans of the band as well as listeners in search of an untraditional approach to Christmas music. Much of the material here was already released as their first holiday outing, 2003's Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand. Those ten tunes were a fun, indie spin on yuletide tunes by the feisty new kings of Christian pop-punk. Appended to those, we now have seven more songs recorded in 2007. In the intervening four years, the band's signed to Capitol Records and their sound is far more produced and polished. It's also clearly better, but what the group lacked for in talent early on, they made up for in spirit. The newer songs are all solid, and they really highlight how far Matt Thiessen has come as a frontman. The walking bass line to their version of "Sleigh Ride" might sound uninspired, but the tightly-wound Beach Boys-ish harmonies and explosive guitars more than make up for that. --Mike McGonigal
