Reviews:

''What I Really Want for Christmas'' is Brian Wilson's ninth official solo album and his first seasonal release. It was released by Arista Records in October 2005 and features many traditional Christmas songs, as well some of Wilson's originals, including remakes of The Beach Boys' "Little Saint Nick" and "The Man with All the Toys". As a bonus, Wilson elected to include a sampling of seasonal recordings initially available on his website a few years earlier.

Critical reaction to the album was mixed; the album eventually peaked at #200 for one week on the Billboard 200 chart in the US, though "Deck the Halls" became a surprise Top 10 Adult Contemporary hit. - Wikipedia

Can the longtime Phil Spector fan-turned-competitor top the homicidal producers A Christmas Gift for You, still the ultimate in yuletide rock after four decades, with his very own collection of holiday standards? Not unless hes spent the off-season learning to out-sing Darlene Loveor hell, Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans.
