In December, the case was settled, with the album being pulled from shelves and all remaining unsold copies of the album being forfeited and destroyed.[2][3]
Reception
[edit]Rated X Mas has received mostly mixed to lukewarm reception. Todd Totale of Glorious Noise gave the album a negative review, declaring it “the worst Christmas album ever made”.[4]
Despite this, the album has garnered a cult following, especially online on sites such as YouTube, where numerous uploads of the album's tracks exist (perhaps the most notable example being Suck On My Cock).
