This came out in 2004 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
Some people take the Christmas holidays way too seriously. Case in point: Hard rock producer and TSO mastermind Paul O’Neill, who returns with his third bombastic, absurdly overblown Yuletide concept album / rock opera.
CHESTNUTS ROASTED: Just O Come all Ye Faithful; the rest of this 75-minute extravaganza is all a product of O’Neill’s rampaging ego and ambition.
YULE LOVE: The gruff, chest-beating Christmas Dreams, which already sounds like a South Park parody song.
YULE WISH: That this turkey didn’t leave you feeling like you gorged on Meat Loaf.
