354/365 | Hanson | Snowed In

Recommended by my sister - Since 1997, my sister has been playing this album every Christmas. Of course, I’ve always ignored it. However, now that I’m taking a listen, Snowed In has a very good mix of songs; classic Christmas carols, covers from some amazing artists (Beach Boys, Stevie Wonder, Darlene Love, Brenda Lee, Chuck Berry), and Hanson’s own Christmas tunes. It’s not half-bad, actually. It’s fun, and of course, you can’t go wrong with listening to a Christmas album.

Track worth listening to: “What Christmas Means to Me”

73/365 | Hanson | Shout It Out

Recommended by my sister - I’m not even going to lie, this was actually a decent album. I expected to hate it, well, because it’s Hanson. In the end, I was quite surprised. The vocals don’t seem as annoying as they’ve done in the past, and the music tends to lean more towards the 60s era. Piano heavy, which is cool. Yeah, I’m ashamed to say that I actually enjoyed this album.

Track worth listening to: “Waiting for This”
