Hard hitting music for fans of Linkin Park or Staind!

"Every day I am looking for a new christian band to listen to, and for so long I've been looking for a Staind sound-a-like, I heard that 12 Stones was like Staind, wrong, they sound like Nickelback, which is pretty good because i like(d) Nickelback and Kutless which sounds kind of like Creed and very little like Staind but not completely. But I have finally stumbled upon 38th Parallel. This is a group I had heard on a CD sampler I bought at WalMart, and they sounded too mainstream to me. But I finally had the nerve to pick this up and I couldn't believe my ears. 38th Parallel while more like Limp Bizkit rap wise, has a good beat, great instruments and a good singer. The lyrics are uplifting (especially You Are My God, which is the best song on the album). I'll give you an explanation of each song1. Hear My Cry- Starts out like a Staind song with some cool keyboards, and then it immediately jumps into a Linkin Park, rap verse. Pretty good track. 9/102. Turn the Tides- Sounds alot like Pillar, but it also sounds like Pax217. 10/103. Higher Ground- at first sounds dumb but once u give it a listen it is a very powerful worship song in a way. 9/104. Clouded- too short to even recognize. Like Linkin Park. 8/105. Who Am I?- Another Pillar sound-a-like. The rapper sounds a lot like Jimmy Pop, the lead singer of The Bloodhound Gang, its funny. 10/106. Horizon- the song that got me into the band. very cool. 10/107. State of Mind- sounds like Nickelback when it opens. Cool song. This is where they sound like Staind. 10/108. You Are My God- my favorite song! 10/109. Wither- Is Stryper in the house. Opens with a good little Stryper sounding solo and really pumps into a Staind grunge sound. 10/1010. 3 Times Denied- Kind of like Linkin Staind. 9/10Check this CD out you won't regret it!"
Can you say obsessed?

"This album is amazing. I had heard of the name around, but I'd never actually listened to their music. I first heard them in my youth pastor's car... and I was hooked. I had been searching for a long time for a Christian band who had the sound of Linkin Park. I found this in 38th Parallel, but I have to say I like their sound better. It's awesome, and the lyrics are incredbile. I have been listening for this CD for about 2 weeks straight and I can't get sick of it. I strongly recommend this to any rock fan."
Great band from Iowa

"This debut is smashing from the 1st track to the last track. They only have a slight similarity to Linkin Park all because of singing to rapping. There is a unique sequence in this band however, and that is the vocalist is not aggressive in his singing like the lead singer from Linkin Park and the lyrics are God spoken and God receiving messages. Beautiful guitar sounds in every track and most importantly is in every track, they do not sound the same. Every song on this CD id different combines harmonies, and melodies alike. In fact just how the way the lead singer sang in each song makes you want to repeat each song in your head until you go crazy. Lyrics were stunning, knowing that yes this is a brand new band, but no, they are not new Christians. "Hear My Cry" is simple it talks about a guy who is in need of help and crys out to God. "Horizon" is truly gifted saying that when life is tough in everyday goings, we should look up towards Heaven and know that God will come. Songs like "You Are My God" and "3 Times Denied" really leaves you stunned with percision timing and incredible key changes. An incredible debut from such a talented and gifted band."
