When I first heard/read that Rob was going to be doing a Xmas album, I was wondering what it was going to sound like--was he going to do like choral stuff like what we deal with at Mass, or what? I figured I was going to get it when it came out, just out of curiosity. The pundits on another site I participate on were all groaning "Oh no, what the f*ck is he doing?".
I found "Winter Songs" at a local cd shop a couple of days ago. I listened to some of it in my car (where it still is). I was grinning from ear-to-ear! Awesome that he and the band did the songs metal!! Can't wait to hear the rest of it, 'tis the season, y'know. If I go to Candlelight Mass this Xmas Eve, I'll have Halford's version of the songs running through my mind.
