Merry Christmas from the Best Vocal Group Ever!

"I have been a Rockapella fan since I was 15 years old. I have all 11 of their albums, 7 of which were released exclusively in Japan. Amazon.com is doing a wonderful job by offering these imports to American as well as international consumers. This album is definitely worth the wait and the money. The guys mix holiday songs with a few non-holiday ditties to produce yet another excellent album. Still not as great as Vocobeat, but up there nevertheless. My favorite songs from this album include the first track, Last Night, a sweet song about the end of a relationship happening on New Year's Eve. Another favorite is "For the Better, For the Worse," which is about a broken relationship. "Rock River" is an inspirational song which makes me sing as loud as I can whenever I hear it. Their Christmas songs are wonderful also, providing a sort of traditional spin on the vocals with interesting sounds to make up the background "music." Applause, applause, and "Encore, encore" from this Rockapella fan. I highly recommend this and every album to anyone interested in hearing a unique and extremely talented group of vocalists."

Not Just for the Holidays...

"While the holiday tunes on "Out Cold" are sure to please (they're all great, but of special note are the beautiful "I Know Christmas," written by Rockapella member Scott Leonard for his son Jesse, and "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer," sung to safari-style "music"), the non-seasonal songs make this album a must-hear any time of the year! The original version of "Last Night" is on this album, and is just as lovely as the version that's found on "Don't Tell Me You Do." Sean Altman's "For the Love" is a groovin' sixties-style song, while "Come My Way" is one of the best songs he's ever written. Bass Barry Carl contributes the snazzy "Bored and Stroked," and Elliott Kerman sings lead on (and co-wrote) the gorgeous ballad "Rock River." Jeff Thacher fans should be sure to check out his "drum" solo on "NYC Winter" - amazing!"Out Cold" was the first Rockapella album I bought, and I was thoroughly impressed. A definite must-have for your collection. Five stars and applause from this fan!"

A rockin' acapella approach to Christmas

"For any acapella lover this is the Christmas album for you. Rockapella's blending and vocal abilities run virtually unparalleled in modern acapella music. This album has a great combination of original and traditional Christmas music. If you are looking for a Christian approach to Christmas with this album, you are barking up the wrong tree. You will however be very pleased with this rather expensive purchase. You won't miss the money after you hear it, I promise."
