Just got done listening to Josh Groban’s new Christmas cd “Noel”. My grade of the album is a “B-” to “C+”. Josh has an amazing voice which should have been allowed to shine more. It didn’t in this album. It gets a bit lost in with the orchestras and the other voices (i have always thought Josh should do an acapella album). Listening to it, I thought why couldn’t it be him singing with just one instrument, if need be, like a guitar, for example? My favorite tracks were “Thankful” and “What child is this?” on which more of his voice can be heard. These tracks seem to me to be more “uncluttered” than the others. A valiant effort by Josh. Perhaps maybe too much of an effort.
