Summary: Christmasville
Comment: Not the traditional Mannheim Steamroller material. Would not have purchased if I had listened to it first.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Christmasville rehash of the Grinch
Comment: 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.

Summary: Wonderful Holiday Music
Comment: I love this cd. I have been listening to it ever since it arrived and still have not tired of it.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This cannot be Mannheim Steamroller
Comment: 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
Customer Rating:
Summary: it was made for Universal Orlando's Christmas show
Comment: If you could read what chip wrote about this Cd you would know that it was made as a soundtrack for Universal Orlando's Christmas show or theme area. so live with it

Who knows what you want for Christmas better than Mannheim Steamroller?
Here at Christmas HQ, we've hit the right note every holiday season since 1985. This Christmas, we're serving a mix of nostalgia (Where Are You Christmas?) and flat-out fun (You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch! And 'Humbugs'!
'Christmasville' is the album the whole family will listen to as you travel over the river and through the woods this season!
This record was born out of a once-in-a-lifetime project: Universal Theme Parks commissioned Chip Davis to create music WITH vocals-- for a holiday show called 'Grinchmas'. Thus, for the first time, you'll hear Mannheim Steamroller with voice as the final instrument
