The Review of Vince Guaraldi's Christmas Time Is Here

Hey Monkeys, this is the first official review. Since it's after Christmas (Like 9 days), I decided to do a belated Christmas object review.


/start review/

Hi everyone, this is the review for the music piece by Vince Guaraldi, Christmas Time Is Here.

/start intro/

Vince Guaraldi's Christmas Time Is Here is a jazz piece with piano, drums and the double bass. It was introduced in the debut of 'A Charlie Brown Christmas' in 1965. It was played just after the opening credits, and has an acoustic version and a vocals version.

/start pros/

This is a perfect example of a Christmas classic, not only does it soothe the mind and body, but it has high repeat value and the feel of Christmas in the city. The acoustic version has a lovely mellow tune to it, and the vocals version portrays the true innocence of Christmas.

/end pros/

/start cons/

Let's be honest here. The vocals suck. SUCK! If I wanted to hear children sing like crap, I would have just watched any Disney musical but this is just bullshit! Off time and screechy, it just hurts the song like Gonorrhea hurts when you pee. The acoustic is, to be honest, very plain and could have used a nicer solo by the double bass. But the vocals, EUGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

/end cons/



/start final score/

Final scores are:

Acoustics Version: 8/10. It's slow and mellow theme gives the reason for it's simplicity and the jazz trio are just heavenly.

Vocals Version: 6.5/10. Tip for any genius planning to play this at a caroling session: Get the jazz trio and kill the kids. Replace with free candy to eat.
