great way to kick it off!

By DrJ,
I don't even remember how I heard about this band, but I'm very glad I did! This is a great debut album with examples of skill, talent, and passion for God. The lyrics are pretty good; simple at times, but they get their points across fairly clearly unlike some bands. Now apparently some fans prefer vague, poetic lyrics that they can interpret for themselves, but I like the solid, unmistakable kind which is in most of the songs on this album.
Specifically, my personal favorites were Through the Fire, To Fly, Rain Song, and I Am the Door. They have great power in those songs with the guitars driving them along! Loved it! They sound a little bit the same, but still great for a first album.
A touch of variety is mixed into this work with Rain Song and Fade Away being slower (though definitely not in a bad way) and even an instrumental track thrown in. Shows a bit of the band's musical abilities to produce songs on different levels.
Overall, a strong debut, definitely worth a listen! And because it tends to get into your head and stick with you, I ended up buying the CD...
