Free Music Notes for The HeatFree Music Review: Not as Good as Daylight Hit: 4 StarsVery 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.
Free Music Review: Needtobreathe: The Heat Hit: 5 StarsI 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!
Free Music Review: "The Heat" NeedtoBreathe Hit: 5 StarsThis 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.
Free Music Review: Inspirational, stress relieving Music Hit: 5 StarsThis is a CD you could listen to every single day. It is accidentally a really inspirational listen.......I'm guessing it was intentional however I found it accidental. I listen to it often and like it more and more each time. It puts you in a good place. I recently had the pleasure of seeing these guys live on their tour and they are even better in person !
Free Music Review: Even better than I imagined. Hit: 5 StarsI heard one song by this group on the radio & purchased the CD. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the variety of music played by this group. It's like they are a mix of urban, rock, R&B, soul, etc. I really enjoyed the whole CD...nearly every song was my favorite, if that's possible. I'm glad to have stumbled onto this group.
