The Grammy-nominated, twenty-something, pop-classical phenomenon's fourth studio album is an expertly accomplished entry to the holiday marketplace. Noël tackles the familiar sounds of holiday music with a charmingly eclectic array of guest vocalists and a wide range of material. The songs range from the sacred to the secular, while Groban--buoyed in spots by none other than the London Symphony Orchestra--soars in his duets with Brian McKnight, Faith Hill, and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. There's even a song with a gospel choir directed by Kirk Franklin. Produced yet again by crossover maestro David Foster, the arrangements never overwhelm the songs. Groban's smooth and supple vocals can be hard to categorize--seeing how his range is somewhere in-between a high baritone and a low tenor--but he always finds and emphasizes the emotional core of these songs. And whether they have origins in pop or classical music seems not to matter. The addition of messages from troops stationed in Iraq on top of "I'll Be Home for Christmas" is undeniably heart-wrenching, while the album's highlight is its most spare song, "It Came Upon a Midnight Clear," which finds Groban alone at his piano, sounding very much like some kind of angel. --Mike McGonigal2) Amazon.com

1) I smile when I listen to this. [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I got this for my birthday last year, and I have to say that I was very happy. I thought I would be sad when I listen to this, but this album gave me happy things, because I needed them. This album is nice to listen to, and I'm glad I have it. At first, I thought that Nox Arcana's "Winter's Knight" was the only Christmas album worthy of respect, but now I start smiling when I listen to this Cd. Josh Groban has a nice voice, and he sings these Christmas songs with emotion. Songs like "The First Noel" are nice songs to listen to. Highly recommended.2) Heavenly yet festive [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I bought this CD because Josh's voice is amazing! I ended up having to buy 4 more for Christmas presents for my family because I loved it so much. There is a nice mixture of songs: traditional, foreign, untraditional. If you are looking for a cute jazzy Christmas CD, this isn't it. If you are looking for a CD to play while you wrap presents, entertain friends, drive, eat, relax, and open presents, then this is it. It is my favorite holiday CD by far (although a tight race with Celtic Womens' Christmas CD)!3) Josh Groban's Noel [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I purchased this product as a gift for my Mom because she was pouting at me for not buying her a copy of this when I bought mine. As such, I was fully aware of what I was getting and I loved it all! However, I wish that his "O Holy Night" had been included in the playlist.When Mom recieved this (in February) she played it through at least twice and described it as "absolutely beautiful". When I agreed and told her that I just can't get enough of this man's voice because it absolutely "sends me", she commented that she can understand why a lot of women feel that way, "including this old woman!" (she's 82!) :-)4) Fabulous [Rating: 5 out of 5]
I loved this CD. I bought one for mom as well after getting one for myself;)5) the perfect Christmas cd [Rating: 5 out of 5]
This young man is second only to Andrea Bocelli in his talent and his soul filled music.His is my favorite Christmas Cd to date.
