Doro Rock 'n' Roll Christmas Party 7" Review

December 8, 2024

With a few exceptions, I'm not big on Christmas songs or Christmas albums. Bad Religions' 'Christmas Songs' is a must as well as the Cryptkeeper's 'Have Yourself a Scary Little Christmas'. Weird Al's "The Night Santa Went Crazy" is a staple as well. And there are copious amounts of hard rock and metal compilations of Christmas songs, but in my experience, most of those aren't great, usually only with a few songs that standout such as the Dio led "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen". And who can forget Trans-Siberian Orchestra and their epic take on Christmas?


If you're looking for something new to fill your stocking with this year, check out Doro's latest release, 'Rock 'n' Roll Christmas Party'. This 7" features the brand new title track along with "I Adore You" from 'Calling the Wild'. 'Rock 'n' Roll Christmas Party' is a pretty rockin' tune, although I am not the biggest fan of the chorus as it feels a bit cheesy. Part of me can't help but compare it to some of her other Christmas songs which are just as solid. "I Adore You" seems a bit out of place for a Christmas album, even though the song itself is a standout.
