WOW!

"If I could sum up what this album is in one word, it would be WOW! Amazingly, I just recently bought this album for the first time but I've always wanted it. I was a little leary, as I own "Unfit for Swine", and I was disappointed with that album. In my opinion, *that* album only had 2 or 3 good songs on it. I don't listen to it much.



But "Shake" is soooooo much better! It's actually weird to think that "Shake" came before "Unfit for Swine", since the two are so different musically.



Every single song on this album is "turn it up" quality. The ballads are beautiful, and the rock songs ROCK! My favorites are "Wake the Dead", "Don't Look Back", "Carry the Burden", "Inside of You", and "The Hard Way". Even though this album is almost ten years old, it is hardly outdated, and I strongly recommend it if you happen to find a copy of it.



Petra is my favorite Christian band, and John Schlitt is awesome. This is definately an album to keep in the CD player. You might want to buy two: one for the house and one for your car!"

Can't Get Any Better

"There is a very narrow scope of music that I like - Christian Album Rock/Arena Rock. Petra in the John Schlitt era and David and the Giants are about the only dependable bands to put out songs that guarantee I will be able to listen to them. The singer from David and the Giants put out a solo CD which I did not like - gave away. John Schlitt did a solo Cd and then another - SHAKE. I must say these 2 CD's are as good AND BETTER (if that were possible) as any of the Petra CD's. And from what I previously said about my narrow taste and love of Petra this is quite a recommendation for SHAKE and the other, Unfit for Swine. Shake is an awesome CD that will get years of play in my house. Killer CD's! Next best is possbly Petra-Revival"

EXCELLENT - sounds like an old Petra album. A MUST BUY!

"If you close your eyes, you would believe that you are listening to a Petra album, with a little twist. If you enjoy uplifting lyrics with a good guitar rift thrown in, you will no doubt enjoy this. Hopefully there are more from him on the way."
