    Christmas in Reno is uncomfortable to listen to--the tracks that you so often associate with being jolly are torn up into pieces and burned at the core. However, that's exactly Ramone's intention.

    Ultimately, this will likely not win over many new fans as the Christmas album is a well-worn genre and Ramone doesn't deviate drastically from what she's done in the recent past. However, if you're looking for an atypical Christmas album to soak in the holiday blues or if you liked The Time Has Come, this is well worth checking out.

    It's devoid of merriment and singalongs, and there's something refreshing--if not reassuring--about having a soundtrack for indulging your inner Scrooge.

    Christmas in Reno will not likely be welcomed in most extended-family, five-CD holiday shuffles, so enjoy it as intended, alone in a basement apartment with some stockpiled wine on Christmas Eve.
