xms: my idea of a christmas album

So, how did this come about? Well, sort of randomly I suppose. After I released Twins, I was still feeling the urge to make another album, and seeing as December was on the horizon, I thought a Christmas themed album would be perfect. And as it turns out, I ended up putting more effort and had way more fun making this album than I have with any previous release. That's not to put any negativity toward my last releases. But somehow, xms became an album that I wanted to be perfect, and it turned out better than I imagined it would. It's quite the journey if you listen to it because right from the get go, I feel as though I've opened a book and have taken you for a ride. I'm only saying that because I have listened to this album several times to make sure it was perfect from my standards.

I'm not expecting anybody to really like this album or even listen to it. But just know that what you're getting with xms is what happens when I really want to make something special. Again, my past albums are very special to me and they are great, but something about this album brought a new level of creativity to me and it just produced 10 solid tracks of what I like to consider the Cats With Hats version of a Christmas album.

This album while not only being a personal accomplishment, it's also the biggest album I've ever made under the Cats With Hats name. I've made albums longer than this in my past projects, but this is by far the biggest album on the Cats With Hats releases. That's also important for me because I allowed myself to really put everything into the 10 tracks you see presented here.

If you have any interest, feel free to leave your thoughts in here and I'd love to hear your feedback.
