WOAH!!!!!! | Posted August 13, 2008
Pillar exploded into my favorite artists with this release, I cannot believe the talent and display of amazing passion on this album. Every song is an incredibley catchy heavy rock track with the exception of "Smiling Down" and "I Fade Away". The guitar couldn't be better, and Pillar shows their passion for Christ through great rock music. My favorite track would have to be the call out for us to get the fire for Christ re-ignited in ourselves in the fast paced, intense "Get Back".

Definitely worth your money! | Posted May 14, 2008
I love this CD. Pillar's a GREAT band. They're one of my favorite bands ever :)

I especially love "Turn it up", "Reckless Youth", and "The Runaway".
Pillar's style of music is great. I really hope Pillar stops by near my area during their tour. Seeing them live would be amazing!

great album | Posted April 09, 2008
I heard Pillar a couple year ago at a concert with 5 bands, and I didn't like them much then; so I've never looked back into them. That is until now. I thought I'd give them another go(or maybe an actual go :P) So I decided to listen to For The Love Of The Game, and I have to say this album is great.
For The Love Of The Game starts out with the song of the same name and rocks out with a great message. Then it goes to a clever song called "Turn It Up" which is probably one of my favorite songs on the album. It's very smart in the way it uses Christian album titles in the song to create a very good song. Honestly, most of the album's songs seem to be well thought out and promoting great causes. Like "Reckless Youth" which promotes sharing your faith recklessly in the sense of not caring what anyone, but God thinks. And then "State of Emergency" which talks about us needing to take action to reach the world for Christ instead of just sitting back in our distractions. And that's just scratching the surface of this great album.
I think these guys are a little harder than I typically listen to. That's probably why I didn't enjoy them that much several years ago. Therefore that may turn some of you away from this album, but as long as you enjoy harder rock this album should be in your collection. I personally will have to pick this up sometime in the future when I see it on sale. Since other albums are currently ahead of this, but don't let that turn you away from this album. It's still a great album.

My Score: 8.8

Ah ... yes, Pillar, you just keep making it good! | Posted April 07, 2008
It does still have some of the same feel from the Reckoning, especially with the bass lines, drums, and some of the slight screamage.

Really good though, I was listening on their myspace before I got it, and it's better than I expected from the few teasers.

Thank you Pillar, good Christian rock, music that can be appreciated even by my secular friends because it's just that good!

Props to Pillar,

Tyler

Awesome Album | Posted April 02, 2008
This album is awesome, It rivals Where do we go from Here as the best album released. Though I honestly don't think this band could put out a bad album, Fireproof, to Where do we go from here, to The Reckoning, to this one are all great albums and are truly inspiring.

A solid album from start to finish | Posted March 20, 2008
After leaving Flicker Records Pillar comes out with their 1st for Essential Records and 5th on a major label. This CD is amazing. All 10 songs are solid and have it's own unique "wow" factor to them. Like it says in the little blurb on the page for this album (see above) this is an album that Pillar fans should not pass on.

Best Album Yet | Posted March 07, 2008
This has to be the best one they did yet. I almost have every CD Pillar has produced and by far, this is the best. Every song is catchy and has an excellent message. Put all your past judgements of pillar behind. This is a great CD for everyone who likes rock music. If you dont get this CD, you are missing out.
