Christmasville January 9, 2009
Dixie Laube (New Brighton, MN USA)
This CD by Mannheim Steamroller is a bit different than the others, but I am okay with this. I think artists need to change things up and give a different perspective to their art/music. This CD takes the listener down memory lane of Whoville. I think it is a good one to have in the CD library.

Not the traditional Mannheim Steamroller material. Would not have purchased if I had listened to it first.

Christmasville rehash of the Grinch January 6, 2009
B. Holmes (Montgomery, AL)
I've always loved Mannheim Steamroller. Every one of Chip's albums' is fantastic. Christasville is his one exception. The music is for the most part a rehash of the TV cartoon version of the Dr. Souse's "The Grinch that stole Christmas". This album lacks the originality and creativity of chip's other compositions. The mediocre vocals add nothing to the presentation. Chip should have driven his steamroller right by this project. This music may work in the theme park atmosphere for which it was written but, for a stand alone album, nada!
Buy this recording only if you are a total Rollerhead and must have everything Chip has ever produced or your little crumb crunchers begged you for it and they are sold out Grinch fans.
Avoid this recording at all costs if you truly love the fine compositions Chip has produced in the past and would like to keep your collection untainted by below standard recordings.

This cannot be Mannheim Steamroller December 25, 2008
Paul King (Weston, WV USA)
This cannot be the same ensemble that produced 'Fresh Aire Christmas', 'Christmas in the Aire', and 'Christmas Extraordinaire' and similar holiday masterpieces. I don't know how anybody could mistake this mess with Mannheim Steamroller because it is so uncharacteristically bad, unfeeling, and, luckily, forgettable. Easily their worst work and the worst Christmas album in my collection. Worth the price only if a 20-dollar bill is included
