Low - Christmas. 1999 A Christmas album worth having !? Yes. Not an Oxymoron First discovered, like so many artists on John Peel's programme when Low were in session. Assumed this would be as good as most Christmas albums, IE not. So took me a while to buy this. Sampled tentatively and seemed good so I bought it. Lovely album. If you like this you will love their others, well worth having. Male and *female* vocals and Mimi is a very special vocal. First track is a bit muffled, deliberately I assume. Have this as your Christmas album to stop the usual cobblers being put on and save your ears. From Wikipedia the A.V. Club's Josh Modell described it as "the religious album even heathens can love" Wikipedia
Low only make good music so try any - or start with these Best albums / Singles / Box sets A Lifetime of Temporary Relief Canada / Fearless I Could Live in Hope The Curtain hits the Cast Enjoy

Enjoying it so far, but I'm one of those strange people with loads of Christmas albums in his collection.

I'm giving a great 9/10 for close to perfection, one of their best albums.

I was disappointed overall with the Christmassy aspect and the songs in general just 4/10 from me.

Can't make my mind up about this one, I listened a couple of times and like a few of the tracks, but wouldn't say it is something that I would want to play often.
I will give it a 5/10 for now, maybe have a few more listens and then revisit my score.

It takes a while to get into Low, but they have a way of getting right under your skin.

I like Death of a salesman. Should listen to them more perhaps.

Eventually...only a 7 from me. While I like the tracks individually I don't think I'd ever listen to the whole album in one sitting.

MikeMusic did you never vote on your own album, or did you score it low?

MikeMusic did you never vote on your own album, or did you score it low? A bit late but I see what you did there
