The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Softdrive, 2011
There's nothing inherently terrible about the idea of Scott Weiland making a Christmas album. Bob Dylan pulled it off with flair, Twisted Sister hacked up a ridiculous metal take on the holdiay genre and Zakk Wylde has offered up a mellow Black Label vision of the season, so why shouldn't the guy who's fronted Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver have a go at it? Well, because it's about as far off base as he could get. His crooning Frank Sinatra/Bing Crosby approach to the material doesn't sit well at all; Weiland sings as though he's so bored that he can barely get the lyrics out. His heart may have been in the right place, but it sure doesn't sound like it here. vueweekly.com comments: powered by Disqus
