"First of all, Disciple totally rocks! The majority of the album is full of great heavy metal music that hits hard and will totally fulfill your headbanging needs. The guitar riffs are very original and clever, the drums are very good and fast, and Kevin's vocals combine a lot of screaming, talking, and singing to blend with the music seamlessly.



But even moreso, the lyrics of this album truly shine. These guys are very clearly Christians with a purpose, and that purpose is to bring the Word of God to people through their music in ways that are extremely relevant to today's world. Every one of their songs are completely based on scripture; they even have the verses included with their lyrics. I truly love the fact that these guys are totally open and honest about what they're about; they don't beat around the bush about their faith and to just what their songs are about.



"God of Elijah" is one of the highlights on this album. The song tells the story of Elijah and his showdown with Baal (a false idol) worshippers about just whose God is real (1 Kings 18)..... I really love that story, personally, so it's one of the reasons I love this song. But it really is very good!



Also, some of my other favorites are "By God", "Not Rock Stars", "Blow The House Down", "Coal", "You Are Here", "Whiny Britches", "Hate Your Guts" (they're talking about hating Satan), "Whether They Like It Or Not", "Not Since Breakfast", and pretty much all of the rest of them. This is one of those rare CDs you can just put in and let it go all the way through.... it's really that good!



Also, there is a great "power ballad" type of song on here in "Thousand Things" that is really beautiful, but yet still has an edgy rock feel.



All in all, this CD is really just incredible. They put their hearts into it and you can tell they really gave it all they had. I mean there are 20 songs on the album (1 hidden track), that's way more than you normally get on a CD!



If you're looking for some really good (and intense) Christian rock music to listen to, check this one out. They provide a good message in every song as well as some awesome, heavy music. Check it out! I hope you love it as much as I do!"

Worth Listening To

"Other reviewers have done a good job describing the lyrical content: absolutely straight out of the Bible. This is true.

Musically, Disciple has a pretty good sound going. It really is heavy metal, not just a watered-down wannabe version. The lead singer, Kevin Young, is almost rapping a lot of the time, so if you dislike that it will get annoying after 19 tracks.

The only other criticism I have is that while their songs are good they all sound pretty similar. However, if you like that musical archetype you'll probably enjoy this. In short, a fun album to play in the car."

Another great disciple album!!!!
