First Impression
Posted September 05, 2009
By bioteacher,
Okay... just a first impression that I will add to later... I like the direction he is going with the lyrics in the album, but unfortunately I don't like the sound all that much.
I have always felt that Christian music needed to become more complicated and thoughtful and move away from the jingoistic lyrics that have pretty much prevented non-christians from enjoying the genre, and this example is definitely going in that direction
One of the songs "The State" does a good job of pointing out our culture's hypocrisy and the last line speaks volumes of how we have gotten away from Christ and into laws and rules "marrying our conscience to the state". I can see this sort of song reaching beyond the pews and speaking to those who are frustrated with the mainstream culture.
"Right and wrong were written on my heart and not just in the laws that condemned me
But now with Caesar satisfied I can even do the things that should offend me"
I think this one will grow on me.
