It gets one star cause you can't give it zero stars
I could listen to only five of the tracks before being overcome with nausea. These are awful songs, sung and played awfully. It sounds like it was put together in little more than the time it takes to play it. Everyone is going through the motions. Dylan brings no new insight to the songs. Some of the arrangements, especially "The First Noel," are sickeningly sweet, even for an Xmas album. I do not understand Bob Dylan. Is he so hard up for attention that he'd do this kind of sell out record? I've long believed that Dylan's work over the last 25 years or so is so bad, so desultory, that it almost obscures the magnificence and transcendence of his early, groundbreaking stuff. But this is by far the worst. No socially redeeming value whatsoever. Straight to the garbage heap for this one!
