One of the Best Disciple Albums
Posted September 13, 2010
By Desperationrocks,
I have been a huge fan of Disciple for the past couple years and they are one of my favorite bands by far, especially as far as Christian Rock is concerned. This band is not only seriously talented musically but Kevin can write some amazing lyrics and that show this band wearing their faith on their sleeves. This album exemplifies this and takes the best of this sound they have been improving and make Disciple truly who Disciple is.
The album starts off a little quieter than most Disciple albums with the radio friendly "Dear X." This song is amazing, it has some great lyrics of how hate, pain, and anger no longer own us. It has a catchy chorus and you can't help but sing along. Things pick up instantly with the assault of "Watch It Burn" with some amazing heavy rock riffs this is a true rocking Disciple track. Things slow down again for the mid-tempo "Invisible", strong track tackling about the issue that even when we feel that we are alone and invisible, God always can see us. Next up is the "Ballad of St. Augustine" This is one of the most intricate tracks on the album with some great riffs and awesome drumming, great metal song. Disciple keeps the tempo up with "Shot Heard Round the World" and is a great anthem to shout out and rock to. "Collision" is a nice softer rock track and is very catchy. If you can't get enough metal "Battle Lines" screams and roars its way through and will have you pumping your fist. Now "Remedy" although its catchy just doesn't seem like the best Disciple has to offer, its a decent song and a great message, but just doesn't do it totally musically to all it could be. "Eternity" picks up with some great guitars and the message on eternity with Christ, with some of my favorite lyrics ever from Disciple. "Revolution:Now" is just another decent track that keeps the energy up but is nothing as great compared to the other gems on the album. The 2nd to last track "Deafening" is one of my favorite tracks with a strong rock sound and talking about how even when we stray away from Christ and hear his voice we can't fight that love from him and to run back to him.The album ends with the absolutely beautiful and powerful "Worth the Pain." This is a great end to an outstanding album and will have you wanting more.
Now I've had this album since July with the early pre-order option to get the whole album, and I haven't put this one down since then. This is easily going to be the best rock album of the year and is just one amazing record. If you love rock and want to get close to God this album is definitely worth checking out, by one of the most amazing christian rock bands around. This is the "Shot Heard Round the World."
