This record was born out of a once-in-a-lifetime project: Universal Theme Parks commissioned Chip Davis to create music WITH vocals-- for a holiday show called 'Grinchmas'. Thus, for the first time, you'll hear Mannheim Steamroller with voice as the final instrument

 Christmasville January 6, 2009
Not the traditional Mannheim Steamroller material. Would not have purchased if I had listened to it first.
Christmasville rehash of the Grinch January 6, 2009
I've always loved Mannheim Steamroller. Every one of Chip's albums' is fantastic. Christasville is his one exception. The music is for the most part a rehash of the TV cartoon version of the Dr. Souse's "The Grinch that stole Christmas". This album lacks the originality and creativity of chip's other compositions. The mediocre vocals add nothing to the presentation. Chip should have driven his steamroller right by this project. This music may work in the theme park atmosphere for which it was written but, for a stand alone album, nada!
Buy this recording only if you are a total Rollerhead and must have everything Chip has ever produced or your little crumb crunchers begged you for it and they are sold out Grinch fans.
Avoid this recording at all costs if you truly love the fine compositions Chip has produced in the past and would like to keep your collection untainted by below standard recordings.
 Wonderful Holiday Music December 28, 2008
I love this cd. I have been listening to it ever since it arrived and still have not tired of it.
This cannot be Mannheim Steamroller December 25, 2008
This cannot be the same ensemble that produced 'Fresh Aire Christmas', 'Christmas in the Aire', and 'Christmas Extraordinaire' and similar holiday masterpieces. I don't know how anybody could mistake this mess with Mannheim Steamroller because it is so uncharacteristically bad, unfeeling, and, luckily, forgettable. Easily their worst work and the worst Christmas album in my collection. Worth the price only if a 20-dollar bill is included
 it was made for Universal Orlando's Christmas show December 24, 2008

If you could read what chip wrote about this Cd you would know that it was made as a soundtrack for Universal Orlando's Christmas show or theme area. so live with it
