Given this box set's grandiose title and three discs' worth of chestnuts roasting, songs about silent nights, and ho, ho, ho, you'd expect--if you're serious about Christmas music--a little bit more than what's actually here. The Millennium Collection is heavily saturated with classics you probably have, and if you're a baby boomer, chances are you will already possess many of the R&B tracks from the Motown era and some of the random, more contemporary songs by Angela Winbush, Aaron Neville, and Boyz II Men. That said, the set is still a good, eclectic sampling of old and new holiday music even though it's embarrassingly short on country and rock. Call it an incomplete grab bag that tries to be all things to all tastes--and only partially succeeds. --Martin Keller

Customer Reviews

An Eclectic Yuletide Anthology
There are few Christmas albums by single artists that I can listen to straight though. As such I have made more than a dozen Christmas anthology albums of my own from the more than 200 Christmas albums in my collection. On each album I would mix the familiar with the new. This Hip-O collection does the same thing. You get old chestnuts like Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" and Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" alongside more contemporary performances like Dru Hill's "This Christmas" and Vince Gill's "It Won't Be the Same This Year." For some, the wide range of styles will be turn off. Me? I like the diversity of the music. My only criticism is that this collection would have easily fit on two discs. When I put a CD in the player I don't want to have to change it for at least an hour. If your going to make me pay for three CDs, fill all three CDs. RECOMMENDED

One of my best acquisitions
I like all kinds of Christmas music from twisted Xmas cds to classical albums. This is one of the best compilations that I have ever acquired. It has a good range of songs some of which are hard to find elsewhere. The quality of recordings are wonderful considering some of the tracks are from some of the first Xmas songs ever recorded.

This is an okay collection
I had expected it to be a little bit better ... but all in all, I guess it is a decent collection to Christmas songs.
