I Like It!

"Yes, it's kids singing and it sounds like it. But know what? It's cute. Don't buy it if you are looking for something other than a kids' singalong, but it's fun if you like the Brady Bunch. Also if you're nostalgic like me. It's fun and cute and great for family listening. Better than some newer Christmas CDs I have, in fact, because - face it - we do know all these songs. If you sing along, sing real loud!"

"This album is awful. I bought it for nostalgic/ ironic purposes, and it's not even good for those. The arrangements are terrible, and the singing is worse. The decision to use the character names instead of those of the real actors is strange. Even still, they misspell Marcia as Marsha. I like the Bradys and will point out that they later became competent vocalists with tuneful arrangements. This Christmas album seems to have been the reason they sought help. Again, I like the Bradys but I can't think of any reason for this to still be in print. (If you like it, don't let me change your mind- I'm just giving one perspective.) The only decent arrangement is Frosty, and you can get it on the Sunshine Day compilation. The only good news is, if you're a completist or a masochist, this collection is always cheap. In all, a really bad album. I don't recommend."

O (Un)Holy Night

"How ironic. The Christmas song, "O Holy Night" is about the birth of Jesus. But just as Jesus was crucified, so too is "Oh Holy Night"... by Greg Brady. I picked up this music cheaply to add to my expanding Christmas CD collection, expecting a sweet, novelty item I could enjoy listening to every year. Bottom line, it's not very good. The chorus work is tolerable, but as soloists, one wishes that Christmas is not the only thing the Grinch stole. He's more than welcome to bury every copy of this CD under Mount Crumpit for all eternity. Still, Christmas is a time to count one's blessings, so count this one: "Christmas With The Brady Bunch" is over in just under 21 minutes. That said, what about the "The Voice of Christmas" episode of the TV show where Mrs. Brady sang, "O Come All Ye Faithful" rather well. Why isn't that on the CD? After all, Mrs. Brady's a member of the Brady Bunch, too!"
