Anberlin's Cities
CD: Cities
Artist: Anberlin
Year: 2007
Music Type: Hard Rock/Alternative
*Lyrics/Songwriting: 8/10
*Instruments: 10/10
*Vocals: 9/10
*Message: 7/10
*Sound: 10/10
*Overall: 8.4/10
Comments: Quite an extraordinary album. Anberlin has matured quite a bit. The album is good is basically every way. Stirring Vocals of Stephen Christian along with his wonderfully matured sense of lyrics and songwriting captured me very much. His lyrics show a more personal, passionate sense. Lyrics such as "We don't question God, just those He chose to carry on His cross." and "Dismantle Me, Repair Me. I have to be honest, I tried to escape from You. . . . Call a prelude to a lifetime of You." show his more mature and serious-minded approach to life. Also, Joseph Milligan is one of the best guitarists in my opinion in Christian music. He writes the music for the songs and show his incredible talents the seldom solos such as the one in 'Godspeed' the hit single off of the album. The incredible thing about this cd is that most of the better songs are at the end of the album. My favorites from it are Godspeed, Unwinding Cable Car, Alexithymia, and Dismantle, Repair. This album pushed Anberlin to my No. 4th fav. band and I would recommend it to any fan of Alt. Hard Rock or just Rock in general.

Falling Up's Captiva
CD: Captiva

*Instruments: 8/10
*Vocals: 9/10
*Message: 8/10
*Sound: 7/10
*Overall: 8.2/10
Comments: Very impressed with this album. A unique blend of stirring lyrics, powerful vocals, and synthesized music. The previous two albums of this band have been very good as well. This is everything that could be expected from Falling Up. Although some of the songs aren't as catchy as their previous cds, the songs grow on you quickly and after listening to them a couple times they stick in your head. The hits off the album which are Hotel Aquarium, Goodnight Gravity, and Maps are all very powerfully exciting songs. The writing style is so unique in that it uses abstract ideas and almost dream-inspired lyrics. Sometimes is seems freaky, but yet evocative as well. They remain with a good message with lyrics like 'I can hear Him calling, "Come and follow Me my child ." ' and 'The further I am from You, the harder I try to exist, take these blinds from my eyes and wake me from the inside'. Although the music has matured a bit, it is still awesome music.

Comments: The defining quality of this band is its singer. A very compelling voice stood out to me very much. Although along with this, the cd has some very good hits and a good message. "The Wonderful" is a passionate worship song. On the other side, the album wasn't produced that well, leaving it with a more live sounding quality. I enjoy the album and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the style. Ready to Love and Sleepwalkers are both songs that have catchy tunes and lyrics and are my personal favorites off of it.

Rebecca St. James' If I Had One Chance to Tell You Something
CD: If I Had One Chance to Tell You Something
Artist: Rebecca St. James

*Instruments: 7/10
*Vocals: 10/10
*Message: 10/10
*Sound: 9/10
*Overall: 9.2/10
Comments: Rebecca St. James comes out with a complete masterpiece! With a high-energenic pop sound and the strong and beautiful vocals of an Australian Kelly Clarkson, Rebecca and her band have come out with an album with the spirituality of a worship album and the highly-addictive lyrics and sound of any contemporary band. The hit singles Come Alive, God Help Me, Beautiful Stranger, and You are Loved show the unique style of the band, but are not the only good songs. Songs like Love Being Loved by You, Take All of Me, and Forgive Me are as worshipful as Chris Tomlin or David Crowder and I wouldn't feel uncomfortable singing them in church. The album has much meaning to Rebecca where as the song Beautiful Stranger was written as a motivator for people to the missionairy field from when she visited Africa and You are Loved which was a song written to an old friend who left God. The album includes Thank You which has a guest rap solo by Toby Mac which adds to the uniqueness of it. This cd in my opinion is one of the 10 best contemporary christian cds in the past decade. Highly recommended.

The Almost
CD: Southern Weather
Artist: The Almost
Year: 2007
Music Type: Hard Rock
*Lyrics/Songwriting: 6/10
*Instruments: 8/10
*Vocals: 6/10
*Message: 7/10
*Sound: 7/10
*Overall: 6.8/10
Comments: On his first side project, Underoath member Aaron Gillespie teamed up with superproducer Aaron Sprinkle for this mixture of rock, punk, and emo sounds. "Southern Weather" ranges from hard rock numbers to delicate acoustic anthems. The member has a hard rock voice that tends to whine in the slow songs, but they have good lyrical depth. The sound is catchy and has some very good cuts such as Say it Sooner, Drive There Now!, and the title track. I like it very much. It has a distinct sound that you have to like, but I would recommend it. Here is the CCM magazine review:
After stirring up buzz and expectations with seemingly random live dates late last year, Underoath drummer and vocalist Aaron Gillespie’s solo project (he plays nearly every instrument on the disc) more than lives up to the hype. With a unique and current sound, excellent songwriting and more than impressive performances, Southern Weather has all the makings of an indie rock breakthrough. Stylistically, The Almost is much more melodic than Underoath, with nary a scream to be found. It’s far from laid-back, though. Catchy hooks, diverse instrumentation, eclectic sonic ingredients and powerful lyrics combine thoughtfully throughout. The opening (and title) track establishes itself with an aggressively strummed acoustic guitar pattern à la Violent Femmes before tearing open into a power-pop gem that would make Foo Fighters proud. “Drive There Now” keeps the energy up while delving a little more into emo/indie territory before the third track, “Dirty and Left Out,” ambles in with slow strummed acoustic guitar and electric piano. If there hasn’t been an indie rock spin on Alt Country thus far, this is it. Pedal steel, aching harmonies and a wonderful gait make this not only a standout track on the album, but maybe for the year. (The borrowing from Bill and Gloria Gaither’s classic “Something About That Name” is used to perfect effect without a hint of irony or cynicism.) The bulk of the material keeps the beat fast, the melody dominant and the guitars thick. “If Your Favour is Small I’m Perfect,” “Stop It,” “Everyone Here Smells Like A Rat,” “Never Say I Told You So” and “Call Me When I’m Honest” all drive with intensity and will find great favor with fans of Dead Poetic, the aforementioned Foo Fighters and alternative rock legends Big Star. “Everything Makes Me Sick” boasts not only one of the hottest vocal performances of the batch, but some of the coolest chord progressions and melodic motifs in modern rock. Slightly Beatlesque pump organ sounds are retro enough to provide color, without sounding too quaint. Somehow, amidst the huge rock riffs, Gillespie manages to maintain an element of transparency and candor that inspires rather than wallows. Nowhere is this more apparent than the breathtaking “Amazing Because It Is,” an adaptation of “Amazing Grace” that ranges from deeply personal confessions via solo vocal and acoustic guitar colored by a string and horn section, all the way to a power rock coda sung by a simple choir and banged home with a driving hard rock beat. Perfect production, deeply heartfelt and spiritually powerful lyrics and a dynamic modern rock presentation make Southern Weather one of the first must-own sets of 2007. JOHN J.

Everyday Sunday's Wake up! Wake up!

Comments: A very exciting band with a new sound and inspiration. After coming out with two cds that didn't bring much success, the band took a breather and prayed about their future. After much soul-searching, they came to the resolution of making their third cut with a new label. Produced by All Star United’s Ian Eskelin (Krystal Meyers, Stellar Kart) and mixed by legendary engineer J.R. McNeely (Relient K, Underoath), the resulting Wake Up! Wake Up! is charged by high octane energy. With crisp, clean power-pop in-fluenced guitar and drum riffs, Everyday Sunday has compiled 10 highly contagious radio-friendly tunes that remain artistically sound and sonically pleasing. This invigorating project is fronted by a trio of songs—“Let’s Go Back,” the album’s title track and “Take Me Out”—that hits fast and furious. Lead singer and primary songwriter Trey Pearson displays his growth as both a vocalist and lyricist on songs like “Find Me Tonight,” a heartfelt cry for God’s intervention. Most of the songs, however, deal with relationship issues, including some fun moments such as the autobiographical “I’ll Get Over It (Miss Elaineous),” a catchy 6/8 number about getting dumped. Personal favorites include Let' Go Back, Wake up! Wake Up!, Find Me Tonight, Apathy for Apologies, and Tell Me You'll Be There. Very recommended and belongs in all christians' music libraries.

*Overall: 9/10
Comments: Once again, Relient K has come out with an extraordinary album. Now with two new members, the band has come out with a whole new sound as they come out with their first full cd in 3 years. The cd blends the clever wit of Matt. Thiessen with the dynamic guitars, drums, and piano as it tells a clear christian message that discusses God's willingness to save and how sinful this world is. The hits include Forgiven, Must Have Done Something Right, I Need You, Devestation and Reform, and Bite My Tongue. Along with these, the band has kept its remarkable humor with Crayons Can Melt on us for All I Care and Plead the Fifth. Also, Deathbed is a slow song that tells the story of a man fallen into sin, but coming back to Jesus. The song takes 13 minutes to complete, but has some of the more meaningful lyrics of Relient K so far. It also has Jon Foreman sing as the voice of God at the end which blends a special touch. One of the best cds of the year. Highly recommended.

Comments: A complete surprise to me! Thinking that it wasn't going to be good, but it was incredible. At least to me. Not quite as good as their first one(Space in Between Us), but it's hard to do that good. Better than Rise in my opinion. They have matured into a new sound altogether, playing with some minors and cool sounding guitar progressions. The hits include You Carried Me, Majesty, Singing Over Me, and Power of Your Name. Also, I really like the slow song Track 7 Waiting to Shine, which has the some of the most moving lyrics I have ever heard. Thumbs way uuuppp!!!
Sample of music lyrics: Loneliness banished; liberation rings; by the power of Your name; Be Glorified; beyond what mortal souls could dream; shine down; over your children; given me; GRACE; I am ASTOUNDED; Mercy covers all; I believe; You are calling me, singing over me; Staring at the sky; IRIS TO IRIS; diamonds reflecting; the Savior; has come cown; Long to shine; I won't question; in the DARK; Through the Storm; standing amazed; it's so beautiful; heaven and earth proclaim; glorious love is ALIVE, PERFECT, and UNCHANGING; I see clearly; the sky is MINE; so beautiful; Change; my history; reaching is stretching my doubts; I'm with you Beautiful is love revealed; you are constant; stunning is your GLory; I stand in wonder; I fix my eyes on You; in awe . . . I come; You are greater than all my sin!

Hit songs such as I'm Not Alright, Eloquent, Face of Love, and Thank You blend to a very well-written album that expresses complete neccesity on God's love while other songs such as We're Trying and Where We Belong talk about the touchy subjects of how sinful man really is and how God wants us to live. A very good cd and a very talented band.

The female lead singer has a very profound and drawing voice that shows much emotion even in the rare times that she goes scream-o. Heavy guitars, bass, and drums define the instruments and show the talent that they each have. The album shows a dreary outlook on life, but in some songs point it to God while touching on some unpopular topics such as the track 'Cassie'. Not my style, but I would recommend this cd highly. Very good!
