Destined to be a holiday classic
This is excellent and worth easily double the purchase price. I read the reviews of this album before it was released and I was dying to get my hands on a copy. I'm happy to say that it was everything I was hoping it would be and more. My favorite tracks are the excessively loud ones where you can hear David breathing. It really helps me to feel like I'm part of the performance. The running water and dish clattering noises also add to the experience. The songs run the gamut from classics to new favorites, so there is sure to be something for everyone. Don't hesitate--buy this album! They by a copy for everyone you know!

The Incomparable David Thorne
Stunning artistry and music to stir the soul. This man is a genius. Don't listen while sitting on your best furniture.

This is awful. I love it.
I hope someone accidentally puts it on and questions the type of person I am.

Yeah this album is dumb, but geez
How has David not won a pulitzer? At least they should have a secondary pulitzer satire award for just generally making people feel ok about the world we live in and how to just take the time to chill out and laugh - whilst being of very worth writing style and general knowledge and use of clever vocabulary. 4 stars. If your not into satire or have any sort of stick of up any orifice, don't bother. Otherwise, his work in general is greatly appreciated by those who share his daily pains and viewpoints.Yeah this album is dumb, but geez, it's a collectors item so buy it if you are into collecting important works. You don't have to sit around a fire with you family and roast marshmallows to it.

The included songs have very little to do with Christmas ...
The included songs have very little to do with Christmas but Thorne's vocal range is quite exceptional. I'd rate it higher but the packaging included a poorly preserved squirrel corpse.

Bought this for the missus
I haven't actually received this yet but I'm fairly certain this will be one of the best Christmas gifts I've ever given anyone. Not sure if that's more of a statement on this product or my gift-selection ability. Decide for yourself.
