When an artist releases a Christmas album as their debut full-length, that is a statement. When an artist releases an album of Christmas duets, that is another statement. With Seth MacFarlane, no less? Despite your appreciation for his humor or his style, he is talented. Am I implying that Liz is not, or that she cannot hold her own on this record? No! I am not merely referring to the banter the two engage in from time to time, one of my favorites happens to occur in Frosty, but her voice complements Seth's quite well. I'm not sure how much fun they had, but it was enough to see if lightning strikes twice with We Wish You The Merriest.
Yes, we've heard these most of these songs before, but (not like this [this is the easy way to end the sentence]) they add their own charm and personality to these tunes, this alternate ending is not much better (but it is true). It would not be fair to fail mentioning the phenomenal band laying the foundation for this consistent and engaging album. They do inspire "The Holiday Feeling" and can host a "Holly Jolly Christmas." How holly jolly? You'll have to hear for yourself.
