The Silver Chord | Posted August-04-2008
The Classic Crime's sophomore cd is brillant...it is quite amazing almost all of the songs give me chill bumps when i listen to them because the music, lyrics, and vocals are so wonderful! Like other people have said it has dark and light songs: songs that express sadness, loss, regret, love, hope, and happy times. Most of the songs are pretty intense and deep. TCC did a great job with their lyrics. The first song "The End" is a sad song that reflects the title of the song-then it goes straight into the next song "Just A Man" which the lyrics say 'I once held the key, but now i have nothing. You are so naive, i'm sorry for leading you along.I'm Just a man!'. Then the fast-paced rock song "Grave Digging" talks about suicide and ,hahaha, about how we are digging our own grave.
"The Way That You Are" is next...says dont let people tell you who you are, there is hope so dont give into what the people say. It is up-lifting and encouraging."5805" has a piano and bells in it which adds to the song, this song talks about his youth days and how they wish they could go back and view the world now like they use to.
"Salt in the Snow" is slower paced but has a happy feel to it, in the song he is talking to God asking if He is there and listening to him, cause he is needs God to be there. "Abracadavers" goes back to the more edgy-rock feel, it talks about how we all spend too much time on ourselves and how really we are all the same made of hair and bones and blood cells(he says all of this in the song).It is kind of a funny song if you think about it. "R & R" is a sad song in which the chorus sings 'How long, how long will we be desperately alone? How long, how long? How long, how long will we have to pay for what we've done? How long, how long?' "God And Drugs" a true rock song that talks about addiction and how he keeps looking for God in places he can not be found like in drugs, but God won't go away.
"Medisin" talks about how he is a slave to drinking and tired of it and knows there is more to life than drinking away his pain.It has sweet guitar parts in it diffently an awesome song! "The Ascent" is an instrumental song. "Sing" is an inspirational song that talks about how when they sing to God it may be flawed but it helps them free their troubles, it is a happy song, has of course a guitar solo! "Everything" is a more faster-paced love song in which Matt iis talking about his wife and how she is everything to him, it is very sweet.
"Closer than We Think" is kind of on the slower side but it is my favorite song...i think because i can relate to the song very well. It is about how we aren't alone 'cause of God and how we are closer than we think to home (Heaven!). This song gives me extreme chill bumps!
The final song is "The Begining" is a happy song in which Matt sings about how he misses his wife and his home in Seattle while he is on the road touring and how he cant wait to go back to them...It so sweet and nice, I love it, it is an awesome way to end a cd...it leaves you feeling happy and cheerful.
So all in all, this cd is awesome and it represents life through pain, hope, desperation, and love! This cd will NOT let you down!!!!!

There came a Lion is a fast past cd that will not bore you in tempo/pace, however, some songs tend to sound similar. This does not mean it is not worth listening to, though! Day's End, All You Ever Hear, Be still & Breathe, Left Us Falling, And the Truth Will End This, Hearts & Minds, and The Last Words are great songs! The songs talk about real life themes and situations, just listen to the lyrics, very encouraging. Track 11 is a passionate song that Frontman Jeremy Gray wrote about someone he really cared about, it is a very touching and powerful song. This cd was over all pretty good.
Wavorly: Conquering the Fear of Flight | Posted June-30-2008
A Great new band! This first cd rocks. You can feel their tremendous amount of faith put into the cd. The songs show/talk about God's love like in "Forgive and Forget" they write-'how can I chose not to forgive? With everything you choose to forget and still we will be loved.'- It has the perfect blend of guitars, drums and bass mixed w/ a perfect blend of string arrangements that enhance every song. The vocals are great too! This band has not got as much coverage and airtime as they should, so please go and listen to this cd!
The Myriad: W/ arrows, w/ poise | Posted June-30-2008
This band shows that it has a lot of potential. The cd has good lyrics in which all the songs are like little books. With Arrows, With Poise reminds me of a book made up of 12 small short stories. Though the lyrics are good and the music is pretty good, all of the songs are dragged out to about 4 mins each some a little longer and like two a little shorter. Do not get me wrong it is a good cd, it has its strong points. The more I listen to this cd the more I like it; so if you have doubts at first, give a few more trys!
Falling Up: Captiva | Posted June-30-2008
Yay, another good cd by Falling up! I loved this cd. The song's lyrics are mysterious and creative. This cd will make you feel as though you are listening to a mystery movie or like you are floating in outer space, which sounds cheesy and weird but the cd is totally is not at all! The lyrics and music just blow me away and Jessy's voice is greaat.

Good acoustic CD! Great to listen to when you just want to chill and be mellow (and happy!). Jon writes his personal thoughts and feelings into the lyrics of each song. The songs have depth and meaning. He uses the acoustic guitar, piano, organ, cello, synth strings, clainet, bass clarinet, trumpet, and (rarely) drums in the songs. Listening to these songs will make you feel renewed and refreshed.
Anberlin: Cities | Posted June-30-2008
Cities definitelly took Anberlin into a whole new ball game! This was an AWESOME rock cd! It was almost perfect...The lyrics and music are amazing!!! You can tell that Anberlin put a lot of time and thought into this album. The themes of the songs are great: love, loss, regret, recovery, and so forth. The music is just incredible, it will make want to listen to the cd over and over again! Well done Anberlin! Cant wait till September for the next one!!!
