Album description

A Review by Alex Murphy.. "5 Towns Record"

Dear Santa Claus,

I really haven't been that good this year, but I can explain. I started going to college. Honestly Mr. Cringle, I'm sure you've had just as much, if not more fun than me. That gut sure did not come from cookies alone. So in short, I believe I still deserve some kind of gift. And seeing that I love music so much, how about a Christmas album packed with clever covers of classic holiday songs done in a happy pop rock like manner? Ah, you might as well just send me FTC student Christopher Sauter's Christmas album entitled "A Jolly J.E.L.L.i. Christmas"

Although the album was released on December 1st, it had been recorded years ago when third year student Sauter was till in high school. He recorded all the vocals and instruments himself, showing everyone through his arrangements and clever remakes of the song just how talented he really is.

The album opens with what could pass for a heavy rock version of a Peanuts classic known as "Linus & Lucy" A pop punk rendition of "Rudolph" is next, and then an acoustic "Frosty the Snowman" There is a very playful version of "Feliz Navidad" that has enough characters talking and singing throughout the song that it could be a classroom full of people. At this point it seems as the album has hit its close with "Happy New Year" but it is followed by "The Twelve Days of Christmas" with a unique approach that is good enough to end all "Twelve Days of Christmas" for years to come. You say to yourself that hearing someone sing the same lines twelve times over is something you would not do even if it meant saving Christmas from Burgermeister Meisterburger. Fortunately, Sauter is creative enough to have the song break down differently every single time, including a short funk interlude.

How will you be able to get your hands on this terrific gift item you ask? Just locate Sauter somewhere at Five Towns College and ask him for a copy, and do not forget to tip him. This album maybe be simple and fun, but it is important because it shows just how talented the students here at FTC really are.

Highly recommended

If you forgot what the Christmas season is about, this album is for you. To remember when you just smiled because it was the holidays. Listening to this album, I couldn't help but smile because of the creative way they recreated the songs and made them their own while adding a comedic touch. It might be a sound a bit rowdy to be for everyone. I would say this is the alternative version of A Twisted Christmas.

Really great non-religious, upbeat holiday music with a "Ramones" feel to it. Definitely alternative and fun!

And this is what Christmas time is all about... too.

This album seems to be telling us that Christmas time is really whatever we put our minds into. And it surely is another perspective and a valid one so...

Happy Christmas y'all... and a hell of a good New Year...

I was skeptical at first, but I have to admit the songs get funnier and more creative as you go down the tracks. The 12 days of Christmas is definitely my favorite (just be sure to listen through at least 5 days when it gets more exciting). Nice job! I was laughing to myself like an idiot as I listened to these in my office.
