ChristianityToday.com: Let It Snow Baby … Let It Reindeer
4/5 Stars

Hear ye, hear ye fans of Relient K. Knowest thou 10 of the 16 tracks featured on yon “proper” Christmas album from Christian music’s favorite punk-pop band previously appeared on their Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand bonus disc in 2003. And their Inspired-by-Narnia track “In Like a Lion (Always Winter)” from 2005 is also included, even though it doth have little to do with Christmas. Thus Let It Snow … is more re-release/rehash than new offering, but the songs were fun before and still fun now, as are the five new tracks. Relient K has an appropriately bratty punk rock take on “I’m Getting Nuttin’ for Christmas,” their arrangement of “Sleigh Ride” delightfully mixes jazz with punk, and The Beach Boys would be proud of their version of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas.” The band also offers two melancholic originals in step with, well, their previous melancholic originals. A fun “best-of Christmas” disc from Relient K, and great for those who missed Deck the Halls the first time. Other fans would be wise to simply download the new tracks rather than re-buy what they have.
