| A little Pachelbel, a little Bach, and some music box bluesTHE CHRISTMAS ATTIC marked the second CD release by the Christmas rock-opera sensation, Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Most of the good stuff from the first album, CHRISTMAS EVE AND OTHER STORIES, but it seems to lack in substance. Very little of the music herein echoes the astounding quality of CHRISTMAS EVE AND OTHER STORIES. Certainly the exceptions would the very beautiful "Christmas Canon" (a children's chorus singing to the tune of Pachelbel's "Canon in D") and "Joy / Angels We Have Heard on High" (consisting in addition to the latter title, also an electric guitar solo of Bach's "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring").
Likewise, "Midnight Christmas Eve" and "Appalachian Snowfall" are enjoyable light rock instrumentals, but they have nothing to remind the listeners of Christmas. "The Music Box" is a gentle lullaby as is "Dream Child (A Christmas Dream)".
Nearly all of the songs on this CD are filled with sweetness and sentiment. But what the majority of them are sorely lacking (and what is absolutely essential in a Christmas album) is the familiar. The first album had a fairly healthy mixture of familiar Christmas classics and TSO's own songs to help tell their story. (Perhaps they could have used a few more of those familiar classics, but it was still a great album.) THE CHRISTMAS ATTIC is unfortunately largely void of the familiar carols. And that's what people look for in a Christmas album.

| A Day In The LifeBefore this album was released, nobody took rock music very seriously. Before this album was released, rock music was just something that you could dance to (although it still made a point but nevertheless, just dance music). When this was released however, the face of rock & roll would change. Yes my friends, this album can never be overstated. Sgt. Pepper's is definitely one the best albums the Beatles ever made (just the White Album or Abbey Road can be defined at their magnum opus). If your a classic rock fan, add this on top of your shopping list.
