Let the creativity flow!

Shane and Shane have really come into their own over the past year. There are several things that I think set them apart from the pack, and the frontrunner of those things is the fact that they are continually referencing scripture for their inspiration to write. A close second is that they continue to lead the way with new chord progressions, melodys, and rhythms.
Lets get to the songs.
Track 3 - Burn us up - probably my favorite song on the CD. What a great idea for a song, and what great chord work. Its not everyday that you hear a song that is written in Gm. Lyrically, its not easy to take a story like this and make it work, but they do a great job.
Track 6 - In You - I'm not sure if it a mistake or if they planned on using non-functional chords in this song, but it really makes the songs great. At the end of every first line of the verse they go to the flat 6 and flat 7 of the chords which really makes for a great melody line. Also great writting here.
I could comment on each track, but I gave this album full marks because they continue to make each track unique, special, and they never cop out and write filler songs. Every song on the album is a good song, if not, great song. the passion of Christ that comes through in their music, and the way that they continue to do everything so well makes great musicians love these guys. If you liek folk, bluegrass, blues, or anything inbetween, this is the album for you. View All Music And Book Reviews By jvalenti | View jvalenti's Profile
