Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive, Kinks-inspired guitar riff that kicks off Father Christmas with a snarl.
The frantic, garage-punk energy of Don't Believe in Christmas clocking in at under two minutes.
The soulful, organ-drenched breakdown in the middle of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home).
