Buy This CD!August 18, 2008 Ruby Barnes(Ashland City, TN USA) Absolutely my new favorite. The music, the lyrics, their style ... I had only heard one song from this CD prior to making the purchase and it has been in my player since I received it. All tracks are very good. I highly recommend it regardless of your favorite type of music!
One of my favorite CD'sAugust 2, 2008 K. Hyche What a talented group! I love this CD from beginning to end. This is one of those rare CD's wherein there is not a bad song. I recommend it to family and friends and often I just simply buy it for them. :-) No need to suggest...just give.
Not as Good as DaylightJune 24, 2008 D. K. Watkins(Atlanta, Georgia) Very solid album but certainly not as good their first which is OK considering that Daylight was certainly the best christian rock album of the decade so far and perhaps the best rock album period. The songs are stylistically more pop than rock on this one and more homogenous; their isn't quite the sonic variety on The Heat. Instrumentally, the rhythm section seems to be less active, but the keyboard work, while more prominant than I might have wanted, is really interesting. The first two tracks probably represnt the most variety and are the highlight of the album. Everything after that sounds pretty good, but after a few songs, you have to look down at the display to see how many different songs you've actually heard.
I heard someone give an interview recently talk about the sophomore slump by saying that it makes sense that 2nd albums aren't as good as debuts because bands spent their whole lives putting together their first album for a label and are then pressured by that label to put the second one out in eighteen months or less in the midst of near-constant touring to promote the first one. I think that accounts for the lack of variety, and maybe there's one other reason; more of these songs seem to be an effort to create a single rather than just a great song. Still, an album well worth a listening to.
Needtobreathe: The HeatJune 1, 2008 Dixie Laube(New Brighton, MN USA) I appreciate this CD by Needtobreathe. I really like "Washed by the Water" as it is one of my favorites. Fairly good theology and speaks volumes of truth in their songs. Thank you!
"The Heat" NeedtoBreatheMay 29, 2008 D. DeCesaro(Kenosha, WI USA) This new project from NeedtoBreathe expands on the bands amazing talents. Incorporating more variety in sound; the melodies are as smooth as silk, this cd is breath taking. With meaningful lyrics and a stronger sound this group is maturing and bringing nothing but humility into their work. I would recommend this cd to anyone, it entails a little of everything.
