Merry Fucking Xmas :-) - 94%

Well, the maids go Xmas and they do it with STYLE!

In Santa's Claws is a cool headbanger with an extremely catchy chorus. Cool lyrics.

A Merry Jingle is a cover track (don't remember who made the original) but this is nevertheless a heavy metal SUPER Xmas. So fucking catchy it'll get stuck in your head forever! Nice to hear a not too sober Ian Gillan of Deep Purple singing along too "I told you I was drunk!"

Then there's 3 live tracks from the Roskilde Festival 1990. Eye of the Storm has been blessed with a nice little intro that suits it very well and as always it's a great track! One of the best ballads the maids have ever done!!

Red, Hot And Heavy, as always a crowd pleaser. This is a true headbanging classic!

Rock the House, another classic PM track (although it was pretty new in 1990). This track really gets to show how great it is when being played live, and Atkins' voice is amazing as always!

Yeah, the 2 Xmas songs always makes my Xmas merry (along with King Diamond's "No Presents for Xmas" and AC/DC's "Mistress for Xmas"). Really a cool way to headbang your way through the Xmas days.
