Wow this wasn’t on my 2025 bingo card - fantastic news. It’s quite a late release for a Christmas album as I normally add them on the first week of November but tbf I don’t give them a first full play ubtil around the 20th so will def be my Christmas album for this year, although as I said before the Jonas Bros one is tempting me.

What’s the other original in the album !?

What’s this? Or the ‘Coldest Winter in 100 Years’?

‘The Coldest Winter for a Hundred Years’ is the other original - ‘What’s This?’ is from The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Ah of course, a left field cover typical of The Futureheads. Looking forward to listening to this and adding one of the original songs to my playlist.

Only heard their Jona Lewie cover so far, but it’s fantastic!

I’m listening to the album and enjoying it.

Yes Stop the Calvary is great as is What’s This!
