Rating: - * Great Tunes But Puzzled By Genre ... My sister introduced me to Relient K music, and when she told me it was Christian Rock, I was frankly surprised. The songs I listened to, rarely mentioned anything in my opinion, Christian-like. When I expanded my selection of Relient K music, I did hear talk of God and heaven occasionally, but not very much. Some of my favorite Relient K songs are: Be My Escape; In Love With The 80's(Pink Tux to the Prom); Manic Monday; Failure to Excommunicate; Which to Bury, Us or the Hatchet; More Than Useless; I So Hate Consequences; Down in Flames; Pressing On; Maybe it's Maybelline; Sadie Hawkins Dance; High of 75; Who I Am Hates Who I've Been; Life After Death And Taxes; Must Have Done Something Right; College Kids; Breakdown; Chapstick, Chapped Lips and Things Like Chemistry; Hello McFly; The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything; This Week The Trend; Maintain Consciousness; Let It All Out; and, When I go Down. Plus a billion others :-) Rating: - * Wow! ... I used to think this cd was the best Relient K cd but, I don't relly think that any more. If you are a Relient K fan then you should love this cd. I think the best song is Be My Escape. Rating: - * Only the lyrics of my soul. :) ... The lyrics to this CD are so deep. The CD is funny as usual, but reflects the growing maturity of the band (not that I don't love the immaturity of the band.) :) Rating: - * Very modern and heartfelt ... This release is very close to home. They have great pop songs, and riffing on this album. A top 40 lovers pick. Very crafty, and Matt's lyrics are outstanding, inspirational, and godspoken. Rating: - * Tired of lackluster christian music? Try this. ... Don't get me wrong, I like certain praise songs like "Heart of Worship", "Open the Eyes of my Heart Lord" etc. but if you want to listen to a band that is musically and lyricially intelligent, this is the band for you. I got introduced to this band with this cd by my wife. "High of 75" is the first song I can remember actually listening to. At first it struck me as a very silly song, and it still is...but I started listening to the rest of the cd and I was hooked. "My Girl's ex-Boyfriend" is particularly witty and random. Great cd and check out Five Score & Seven Years Ago for more great tunes about life, love, and God. |
