Scott Weiland: Christmas Album Preview

Is it a little too early to wrap your head around Christmas?

Scott Weiland sure hopes not, as the Stone Temple Pilots frontman releases his holiday album, "The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year," on October 24.

The album presents Weiland singing Xmas standards in a variety of styles, including big band swing, orchestrated ballads, reggae, bossa nova and more.

The project was originally scheduled for release last winter, but its release was postponed, without explanation, until 2011.

You can preview the full album at Amazon here.

I don't think his voice suits some of the music... Takes a bit of getting used to. Very lounge-ish stuff.

Not bad, eh.

Of course it's the most wonderful time of the year, even if it's October. If you can sniff "snow" any time of the year, it can always be Christmas.

This is going to be awesome when I have drunk girls over at my house to party

Its the most wonderful time of the year when Scott Weiland is in a white wonderland, which can be anytime.

am i the only one who thinks Kermit's winter album would sound pretty much like this? there's definitely a froggish sound to his voice...

[link55588]

its good, but i feel like he was totally drunk in each song

[slaveskinJACKET]

He sounds hammered.

Should have called it Scott Weiland: [Drunk] Christmas.

It doesn't sound bad though, if you're into drunken lounge-jazz Christmas albums -- think Frank Sinatra or Nat King Cole with a few too many martinis.

It still sounds pretty classy, though, just not what I expected.
