Nice to listen to

You're a Good Disc, Mister Grinch submitted by Meginator on June 25, 2023, 12:40pm This album provides the complete audio from the animated Christmas special, with Boris Karloff’s iconic narration of the classic picture book, along with separate recordings of the film’s four songs (including one reprise). Karloff’s storytelling skills and deep voice are well-suited to the source material, making the story come alive even without the accompanying visuals, although the transitions into the musical numbers are not always particularly smooth. The songs mostly sit firmly within the familiar 1960s mode of holiday music, with the expected vocal harmonies and saccharine lyrical content, making “You’re a Mean One, Mister Grinch” stand out with its wry humor. Being very familiar with the cartoon and the book, I found this to be a charming accompaniment on my daily commute during the holiday season, and it is a nice holiday audiobook for listeners of all ages.
