Thor is a rock and roll superhero whose music often lands somewhere in the territory between heavy metal and punk rock. For this new holiday set, it's more firmly in the metal zone. This is an interesting release that works pretty well. It's a bit rough around the edges at times, but that's part of its charm, really. At just over half an hour, it's also rather short.

Another balladic cut, the acoustic guitar textures that start this are more dramatic and powerful than those that were part of "It's Christmas Time Again." Synthesizer adds to the arrangement. Again, the quality level here is elevated from that of the first few songs on this disc.
