off topic: Tried to search if this has been covered before, but couldn't find it...anyway, please lock it if this has been covered before.

on topic: I am disappointed. Maybe the song has to grow on me? Do you guys like Someday at Christmas?

Betterman is sweet:) Can't wait for my Molo CD!

I like it a lot. It's fun, and topical being an anti-war song as well as a Christmas tune.

It would have been a lot better if it were released BEFORE Christmas this year though. Usually I don't care if get the single in December or May, but when it's actually a Christmas song, it'd be nice to have it for Christmas.

It's good. It's a lot better than that Better Man version :?

I've always dug the Jackson's version and PJ definitely does a real good job with the song.

this is what i thought too... loved the song, and i would have liked to have it before xmas so i could have played it all the time... though i possibly would have been sick of it by now, i would have liked to rock the holidays with it

Agreed. Those singers just don't cut it for me.

I'm listening to Someday at X-mas for the first time right now and I like it. Some things you just like immediately while others have to grow on you.
For example, I don't like the new versions of PJ songs on the Molo CD. It sounds real grainy to me. It's just not as good as it could be. Maybe I have to listen to it more to get a better apprection for it.

Someday at Christmas is ok. Its a nice tune, but nothing too special.
As for Betterman, i loved the choir in the backgroud. I personally though it was awesome :D

I really dig it. Its the perfect song to be on the single after years of live performances. Its great, has some Xmas spirit and has great drums...Matt should think about doing another tune with that kinda style
