Don't Bring Me Originals| Posted July 01, 2016 THIS REVIEW IS ADAPTED FROM A REVIEW I POSTED ON MY WEBSITE. TO CHECK OUT MY REVIEW OF APOLOGETIX'S ALBUMS FROM 2008 TO 2013, CLICK HERE!
Recovery, ApologetiX’s 16th album, narrows into one era of music: late-70’s classic rock! And boy does it rock! Better yet, the lyrics have been recovered and transformed to please God! What could be better?
This album spoofs classics that you most likely would be familiar with. Just about everyone has heard of a wayward son, but not the way that “Hurry Home Wayward Son” depicts! And you’ve heard the Queen-duo “We Will Rock You” and “We Are The Champions,” but with some scripture, those who walk through are more than champions.
You might get a kick at APX comparing “Obadiah” to other prophets in the Bible, and you will nod your head as J. Jackson sings that the Bible is “Not Some Old Fantasy.”
The album art, title, and final track were parodies of Electric Light Orchestra’s Discovery, and “Don’t Bring Me Cows” was my favorite ApologetiX song for quite awhile. I think it’s awesome how ApologetiX is so creative and can create these parodies that honor God!
I absolutely love this album! This album is very nostalgic, for it’s the album that really got me into APX. I’m so great that I know this band and I hope others will check out this recover band!
My favorite songs:
“Don’t Bring Me Cows” (parody of “Don’t Bring Me Down” by ELO) “Come, Whale, Away” (parody of “Come Sail Away” by Styx) “We Will Walk Through” (“We Will Rock You” by Queen)
to add lyrics if not listed.
