Snow is everything you make it.
Slice it, freeze it, dice it, flake it.
Mix it up and let her blow.
Here comes the snow

Snow, sleet, slush, hail (repeat forever!)

bahuse: I wasn't sure about the vocal effects at the start but by the end it definitely works, I wish it were longer.

Berkeley Social Scene: Definitely a very ominous guitar idea, which works well with the melody, the guitar sound is great.

The End Of Rock And Roll: The way the vocals are makes them feel relentless, in your face (in a good way), although the crash towards the end does get slightly annoying.

Johnny Cashpoint: Immediately caught off guard by that guitar sound, but I love it. The whole thing sounds like it's in a cave, which I still don't know if I like or not.

Pigfarmer Jr: Jingle the bells! I was caught off by the 3 bar phrases in the verse, but I definitely like them.

V4nnim3l: That's me, I don't know what this is, I definitely think bits of it could've had more added to them, call it a wish.com Jesus of suburbia.

Very quick comments because some comments are better than no comments... most of the time.

bahuse: I love this type of riff rock guitar playing. It feels fun. The 'almost bored' vocal delivery gives this an interesting bent. I like the stylophone-esque melody line.

Berkeley Social Scene: Interesting doubled vocal. Again, liking the riff rock guitars. This is a grower, in the vocals mainly as I already like the music quite a bit. Good melody in the.. chorus? No lyric in the lyric thread but what I can hear is cool enough. To be fair, I'm liking this well enough without concentrating on the lyric which I can't quite make out at times.

The End of Rock and Roll: This comes across as a mix between.. like April Wine and something more progressive (especially in the lyric/melody.) An interesting feeling to be sure. (I'm sure this is just my weirdness making connections, don't take it personally.) The mix seems weighted on the high range. My tinnitus and overall ear fatigue is feeling it a little bit. Still, this is cool. (Maybe a few less loud crash hits would be welcome.) At a minute longer than the other songs (edit to say: except for v4nnim3l, who hit the 3:00 mark) this seems almost epic in comparison.

Johnny Cashpoint: That's a damn cool intro. I like the noise rock aesthetic. I'm a bit undecided on the vocal. Not sure how well it works for me, if it's just the delivery or what. Read the lyric earlier and I love the interesting take both on the title and the Santa perspective.

Pigfarmer Jr: I tried to do a piano thing and failed so I bashed this out relatively quickly. Well, I spent a long time on it, actually, but only in the last couple of days. This will be added to the (possibly never completed) Hard Rock Anti Christmas EP.

V4nnim3l: The intro should be in the Toy Story Christmas Special. The rest.. well, maybe not so much. Heh! I love anti-christmas songs and this seems to fit in perfectly. I might have a bit of an issue with the less than smooth transitions in the mix and I might hold a slight grudge that you went past the, admittedly arbitrary, 3:00 minute mark because it takes away from the epic comment I made with End of RnR. But that's silly of me to mention. I like the contrast you've built into your entry.
