Relient K CD Review

Relient K
Five Score and Seven Years Ago

I thought this CD was great! It really broke any preconceived notions that people may have about Christian rock music. With catchy tunes and beats, the album was by no means boring, and for the most part the lyrics provided a positive message. With references to Jesus and prayer, I'd say this album is a good choice for Christian teens looking for an alternative to some of the less appropriate music out there. The songs are unique and diverse, not only as compared to the music on the radio, but as compared to each other. Some have a rather poppy feel to them, while others are comparable with something a bit more underground. However, don't mistake "poppy" for hum-drum. This music is not at all a typical picture of pop music. There is a much deeper and more powerful meaning in the lyrics than your cliche "Oooo baby I love you" alongside other things I don't find quite necessary to add on a Christian blog. (You all know what I'm talking about!!!) I highly recommend this CD both as Christian and as a person who simply likes good music.

Very, Very Good! I agree with the review too. Relient K does a great job and have put out better and better music with each CD they have put out.

Relient K rocks! BY FAR my favorite band. Good music. My favorite part is their talent with words. I like their writing style. It makes me happy.

Very good review and I look forward to more of your reviews, how often do you plan on doing these? I am just starting to get into Relient K with what I have heard from this new cd. I need to get it so I can play some stuff off of it when I go over to Solid Rock Friday at Joy FM. I have always gotten a kick out of their song titles.

I love Relient K and I agree with your review. In fact, we have been listening to that very cd in our house a lot lately.
