CD DetailsSynopsis
Amazon.com Contemporary Christian music has come a long way toward secular acceptance in recent years thanks to the likes of Switchfoot, who avoid obvious sacred references in their lyrics. It's also refreshing to hear CCM songwriters like Switchfoot's Jonathan Foreman explore love and belonging as song subjects. Unfortunately, The Beautiful Letdown hews too closely to the formula established by alternative CCM brethren Jars of Clay and Creed. Songs like the title track and "More Than Fine" come close to forging their own identity, but too often sound overproduced and designed to appeal to the widest audience. Still, Foreman's songwriting shows potential, and his progressive vision for spiritual themes indicates a willingness to color outside the lines. --Matthew Cooke Similar CDs

CD ReviewsIts a pop CD, Not Rock Sheri Dinwiddie | 04/13/2006 (3 out of 5 stars) "I borrowed this CD from library recently. I brought it home, put it in the radio, and instantly jammed to the wonderful hit Meant to Live. Terrific song. But I was sad to find out, it was only rock song on the album. For some reason, I thought this band was a rock band, not a pop band. That was a dissapointment.
THE MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THIS CD. Meant to live, This is your life, and Dare you to move are terrific songs, but the rest are just tasteless fillers. This lyrics are good, but the music too dull and, for me, boring. More than fine's chorus sounds to much like their latest single Stars, only worse. All in all, this CD has three good songs, maybe four, (I'm okay with Gone.), but that's all. The seven other songs are slow and blaaaah! But this is just me. I'm more of a headbanger. If your a Christian rock lover, put this CD down and pick up Momentum by Tobymac or Skillet's Collide and Alien Youth. If your a pop/soft rock lover, you'll most likely love this CD." |
