So the Bob in Bobnoxious happens to be Bob Reid of Razor fame. Obviously, this has nothing to do with Razor, so I'll save any commentary about Bob's tenure in Razor for a more suitable post in the future, i.e. when Cycle of Contempt shows up in the cheap bins.
Mix of original Christmas songs and covers of holiday standards done in a jolly, almost pop-punkish style, so don't be expecting metal (although their version of "Fa La La" might sorta qualify). I thought the first 2 tracks were the best--the "Merry Christmas/Jingle Bells" medley has sort of a Bad News feel to it, and "Police Nabbed My Dad" is a fun take on the "Feliz Navidad" melody. All of the traditional songs are arranged well, and it was a wise decision to keep the disc quite short (not even 20 minutes) so as not to wear out its welcome. Still, this is ultimately just a somewhat entertaining novelty, and I'm not sure if I'd be terribly inclined to throw it on even during Christmastime. We shall see. But it's alright for what it is.
