    Not a fan at all... overplayed, overrated and overprocessed.

    Ick.

    Guess I'm in the minority here :)

    Overplayed? I can't think of the last time I heard anyone play them. Though they do get played for a lot of Christmas music ...

    Overrated? I dunno. They're pretty good. Unless you only go for choral stuff, which is also nice.

    Overprocessed? ... Lol?

    Yes, overplayed -- in the stores, elevators, TV commercials, you name it.

    Yes, overrated -- they are the Justin Bieber of orchestral music.

    And yes, overprocessed -- maybe it's because I'm a classically trained musician with over 30 years of playing under my belt, but synthesizers and pyrotechnics aren't in my definition of an "orchestra." It's just filler crap to keep the plebes ooh-ing and ah-ing.

    Nothing original or creative about them... all sizzle, no steak.

    They're good, but I thought that their show was long and drawn out.

    Saw them at the Xcel Energy Center (one of the best arenas for live music in the world) and was ready to head out about 45 mins before the end of the concert.

    If you've seen their Christmas show in the past, go see them again this year. They've redone their show, and somehow their set is more amazing than ever.
