Moments Worth Listening For
The heavy, psychedelic drum fill that kicks off the title track, anchoring the holiday cheer in a rock-solid groove.
The unexpected drone of the sitar and tabla on The Little Drummer Boy, turning a standard carol into a raga-rock experiment.
The nostalgic callback of Christmas Time is Here Again, reviving a 1967 Beatles fan club melody with updated production.
