Jesu - Christmas
Review by Mario Nunes
The album "Christmas" by Jesu is a beautiful and haunting collection of songs that perfectly captures the spirit of the holiday season. The album features a mix of traditional Christmas carols and original compositions, all infused with Jesu's signature sound of ethereal vocals, dreamy guitars, and atmospheric electronics.
The album opens with "Christmas Morning," a gentle instrumental track that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The standout tracks include "The Great Leveller," a haunting rendition of the traditional carol "In the Bleak Midwinter," and the original composition "Christmas Day," which features a soaring vocal performance from Jesu's frontman, Justin Broadrick.

Inb4 postrockstargazer's yearly comment 2021 baby
About that time of the year again...
After all those years, this song still hit the same old way.
Looking forward to postrockstargazer's comment...
Already here for postrockgazer's comment
Stuck in my bedroom with Covid just days before Christmas... #fuck2020
so, it is time, hello again
well.
Still gives me the odd feeling down the back of my neck!
I'm sure this year is going to be much better than the previous years...
it's one of the three songs that can actually makes me cry like a baby idk. something in this jesu's song is incredibly painful. i know a lot of depressive songs but this? it's the best song to cry to
It's that time of the year again, huh?
it's time
Another year, another reason to come back here.
Takk.
?????????
I'm stoned again
A Christmas song I can enjoy
Yep, some things will never change.
Jesu's performing this at Hospital Fest 2018...to say I'm super ecstatic to see that as well as Merzbow (finally!) and G.C. Green's first ever performance as Vitriol is a gross understatement.
