Summary:
I liked the first half of the album more than the second half of the album. I suppose the first half would be a 4.6 and the second half would be a 3.0 which technically averages out to be 3.8. However, I didn't design this rating system to necessarily determine album ratings as such. Perhaps I will give it a 3.4.

Overall Rating: 3.4/5
Favorite Song: "Here Comes Santa Claus (Right Down Santa Claus Lane)"
