Query: a let-down for Zippers fans

After buying and loving "Perennial Favorites" and "Hot" I was really excited to hear that the Squirrel Nut Zippers recorded a Christmas album. Well, the "Christmas caravan" turned out to be a real let-down. The album is not all bad, the Zippers are too good a band for that, but it isn't great either. It comes along as something that was slapped together too fast. With "Perennial Favorites" and especially with "Hot" they have gotten us used to outstanding quality, albums that have matured and where every single song is great. This one is just OK and doesn't stand out for anything. A very mediocre effort from an otherwise so talented and creative gang.
