1TOP 10 ALBUM OF 2007
The energetic Toronto band is back with their best album to date after misfiring with the disjointed The Art of Breaking. Completed in just three weeks after being challenged to record in the studio live, The Flame In All Of Us is an album that feels consistent, solid and seeping with raw energy.
TFK has never been shy about writing a hook, and The Flame In All Of Us does not disappoint. Songs from the title track, to “What Do We Know?†and “Falls Apart†are instantly familiar. The band also balances rock and pop perfectly from the low throat growling on “My Own Enemy†and “InHuman†to the final acoustic track “Wish You Well. They are one of the few bands that can go from rocking your face off to gently washing it (awwwwwww).
If I’m being completely honest, I stumble on songs like “New Drug†and “Favorite Disease.†Relating a relationship with God to drug addictions and inescapable viruses is hard to bye into. I realize that makes me sound like a 90 year old grump, and I know it speaks to some, but I question the continued efforts to spin a new hook on the common mistakes that a lot of people work hard to avoid.

This is a great CD! It has a mix of some of their best elements! It's got hard rock (Falls Apart, New Drug, The Safest Place), their softer side (Wish You Well, Favorite Disease, My Home), and then the some what FM Static sound (The Last Song, What Do We Know)
We all feel the flame when listening to this
Thousand Foot Krutch has really created an amazing set of songs in The Flame in All of Us. This album brings out the best in TFK. We once again encounter the whisper-like rap combined with heavy riffs in songs like "My Own Enemy" and "Inhuman". They present their melodic and lyrical genius in the hits "New Drug", "Falls Apart" and "The Flame in All of Us." TFK's soft side is also seen in the tender, melodious tracks "My Home" and "Wish You Well."
Overall, this is a great album--the greatest project we have seen from TFK yet. All of the songs reflect deep emotion and express their relationship with God. Thousand Foot Krutch accomplishes an amazing and noteworthy feat: they present an amazing message without toning down the music. This album receives a 4.5 from me because I do not find "The Last Song" very plesant. Otherwise it would've gotten 5 stars. This is still an excellent album and a good choice to any rock-lover. RAWK ON!!
Awesome!
Thousand Foot Krutch is such a great band. This album from them is really good. The songs are great with great lyrics. The track "What Do We Know" is one of my favorite tracks on the album. It sends out a great message. If you like Christian Rock, a little bit on the harder rock side, then Thousand Foot Krutch is definitely for you. They are also great live!
Flame Rocks!!
Trevor and the boys have created a new masterpiece!! With a theme of unity, "Flame" moves smoothly from one rocker to another. TFK seems to reinvent themselves, or rather hone their sound with each album. With "Flame in all of us" and "What Do We Know" TFK has created a new arena sound for them. Then "Falls Apart" rocks your face off!! Cant wait to hear more from the boys from Canada!
Super Great
It is their best album so far!! It has a lot of depth in it and has meaning. Many of their songs are catchy too! It makes me want to listen to them all the time. I highly reccommend it.
This Flame Is Hot
Canada's finest Christian rock band,Thousand Foot Krutch,has released its best album to date.
The Cd starts off with the title song,"The Flame In All Of Us".This is a great song with an uptempo beat.It has a great message for today's times. This Cd does not have any bad songs on it. I enjoy listening to "Falls Apart","Favorite Disease","My Own Enemy" and "Broken Wing". My favorite song on the Cd is "New Drug". The song states that"I want it, I need it,I believe it, You are the new drug". IMO,the best "drug" to be hooked on is to be hooked on Jesus. This song should relate to the younger crowd.
"Wish You Well" is a slower song that speaks about helping someone you love and support them in what they do for the Lord.
The hidden song,"The Last Song" is a catchy tune. It is a great way to close out this CD.
If you enjoy listening to Decyfer Down,Disciple,
and Kutless you will love this CD.I have a hard time getting it out of my CD player in my truck.
It is definitely on my top 10 CD's list of all time !!
Rather than "fall apart" TFK has gotten tougher
Previous albums have seen Thousand Foot Krutch bang on their drums and guitars almost the entire CD, but The Flame in all of Us does some of that but they add more ballads to allow their music to become more melodic. No better example is there than the title track where the opening absolutely rock, but towards the second half the song turns into inspirational and emotionally charged rock in a way we have never seen before by this band. Also a change is the amount of ballads, usually there is one per CD, but The Flame in all of Us contains a few. The light “wish you well” is made...
“The music industry is a crazy place; you have people working at musical labels who don’t know if they will have a job tomorrow” states lead singer and songwriter Trevor McNevan about how the future of artists these days are uncertain. Somehow it’s hard to picture that about Thousand Foot Krutch. After three rock albums, two of which have been very popular, TFK has certainly climbed to a place above most Christian rock artists. But if they were in a state of emergency and each album they put out had to be good enough to keep them above water, they can stop worrying about their latest The Flame in all of Us.
Previous albums have seen Thousand Foot Krutch bang on their drums and guitars almost the entire CD, but The Flame in all of Us does some of that but they add more ballads to allow their music to become more melodic. No better example is there than the title track where the opening absolutely rock, but towards the second half the song turns into inspirational and emotionally charged rock in a way we have never seen before by this band. Also a change is the amount of ballads, usually there is one per CD, but The Flame in all of Us contains a few. The light “wish you well” is made up of an acoustic guitar, a violin, and McNevan’s voice; the result is a great ballad which is bursting with emotion. Of course no Thousand Foot Krutch album is complete without the strong rock tracks. The fan favorite “falls apart” which starts heavy with a good intro and continues to be a solid rock song with a good beat. “New drug” is a hard tune with an annoying verse and a solid refrain, and “the safest place” is a hard rock tune with a bridge which includes an overload of unnecessary yelling.
Another ingredient that is added in the album is the hint of the punk music, as it appears that McNevans other band, FM Static, rubbed off a little on this release. The single “what do we know” has a small punk influence, but the result is positive with a great tune despite a repetitive chorus and an odd placed children’s choir. The final song on the album, aptly named “last song”, has some of the FM Static feel along with its clever light rock frame. The bridge on “learn to breathe” really strengthens an already good medium rock song and although “favorite disease” sounds odd the music progresses through the song. “My home” is closer to a soft rock song, but for TFK it qualifies as a ballad, and a solid one at that. The rock song “broken wing” suffers from Trevor’s high voice at the beginning and it’s ever changing tunes where sometimes it’s good and other times bad; it is possible that the erratic music of the song reflects the lyrics. The hardest song on the album is “inhuman” which in the midst of the yelling and loud music manages to find a good flow.
The band that brought you the confusing, and almost indecipherable, hits “phenomenon” and “art of breaking” are back but with this time it seems that McNevan’s lyrics are more accessible. While talking about the albums messages McNevan said: ‘I feel that what we do in it's form and fashion, is every bit as much worship as a Chris Tomlin, or a Matt Redman’. Which is, of course, why he doesn’t use a metaphor about a strong tower or a consuming fire for God but a drug (“new drug”). Thousand Foot Krutch also uses the metaphor “favorite disease” when talking about God as the song says ‘Show me, teach me, the way to heaven, 'cause no other way can’ but also’ I Love the way you kill me’. “Home” makes more sense as a worship song (‘You are my home, you are my shelter ...when all my hope is gone’) and “inhuman” contemplates God’s holiness (‘I'm alive, because You touched me, take away the things that crush me,/No one else can save me like You do, You're in human,’).
Back to back songs talk about addiction (“broken wing”, and “safest place”), the former is about a man and a woman struggling with a drug/alcohol addiction; it’s depressing but it ends in hope (‘You can heal in time, if you try,/It'll be okay, you can walk away,’). The title track talks about the thing (the flame) that keeps us alive and running but the cause is not mentioned directly. “Falls apart” is about the consequences when we go our own way instead of God’s (‘Falls apart, every thing around me/Falls apart, when I walk away from you’). Inspired by the events of tragedies (Katrina, Virginia Tech, and 9/11) “what do we know” contemplates our inability to control things and it hints toward the need for God. The “last song” isn’t anything but an extra cut ‘remember when, we first became a band/We'd set up in the bedroom, practice all night long…, this is the last song.../so everybody sing along’; and “my own enemy” isn’t lyrically spectacular.
Quick history lesson: Stet it off; a group of pop/rock/punk songs that didn’t go together and weren’t very impressive lyrically. Phenomenon: a hard rocking CD with plenty of good tracks. Art of Braking: a repetitive rock album musically and a confusing album lyrically. Now here is The Flame in all of Us, a rock CD which has more ballads than their last two combined, with some punk sprinkled in. Some Fans may not appreciate Thousand Foot Krutch’s latest because every song isn’t rock, but this album might attract new fans as well. With the Flame in all of Us being TFK’s most artistic album to date Trevor McNevan and the band won’t have to worry being out of work.
TFK Stepping it up!
Thousand Foot Krutch is an awesome and very talented Rock band! They rock in concert and really grab your attention while performing where at the same time are redirecting that attention up to our heavenly father.
In the newest release from TFK, "The Flame In All Of Us", they bring it on strong! They have some great songs that really make you want to just move your head back and forth!!! Some of my favorites are New Drug, Inhuman, and Broken Wing. Thanks TFK for giving us some great new music to chew on!
love it love it love it
This album is great. I love every single song. I'm in love with Trevor's voice. It's so unique and awesome. =]
TFK has great lyrics, vocals, instrumentals, and everything about them is just great. They really rock!
Awesome album.
TFK really did a good job with this album bringing some of their best rock. The album is over all very well balanced and it rocks pretty hard as well. The lyrics have good meanings and the music is really good.
sweetness abounding
ah, the bass lines. even if you don't play bass, you are highly appreciative, they are just so full of life and funk (almost). the rock sound has increased to present probably the best balance of rock and hip-hop i have heard of late -- yes, TFK is here and they are really to make your eardrums do cartwheels!
SUHWEET
this album was better had good lyrics the music was good they did wut they did best which was ROCK
wow
amazing new album these guys just keep it comin and are getting better and better i love falls apart, new drug, what do we know, and the flam in all of us
A Whole New Sound
Thousand Foot Krutch has progressed with each album and I think that makes this one my favorite... This has some of their hardest sounds in singles like "Falls Apart" and also has slow ballads like "Wish You Well". Hidden track "The Last Song" is a nice little feel good jam that puts you in the place of the band and gives the album a great send off... Great CD
My Home
This cd is a great cd. My favorite song from this cd is "My Home" because it talks about how Christ is our home and he is everything. It explains how if we feel alone, God is always there.
LOVE IT!
i love this cd! it is amazing! i love the song Falls Apart. The music video is great too!
The Flame In All of Us
Great album with great music and strong lyrics on songs such as My Home, What Do We Know, and others. This is a mark in their progression as they go for a more raw sounding album because of their desire to be a bit more real with their music. They did a great job and can't wait to see what they come out with in the future!
growing pains
I LOVE this CD! When I first bought it, I was like, 'this is a good cd' but I didn't necessarily LOVE all the songs (although I did fall in love instantly with "the flame in all of us" "falls apart" and "broken wing") but as I listened to it more and more, the songs just grew on me, and now I like the entire CD! I have to admit I don't think they can really top "Faith, Love and Happiness" or "When In Doubt" or the other song that I love that I can't remember the name of, but some of the songs on this CD come awfully close! :D
TFK Returns
The 3rd album from Thousand Foot Krutch is amazing. Through 12 tracks (plus a hidden track) Thousand Foot Krutch revamped their sound so it sounds more Alternative and the guitars are more metalcore than The Art Of Breaking. From the great Title track to the last song of the album (a really good acoustic track) Thousand Foot Krutch proves that with this album, they will stand the test of time.
Another one of TFK albums....
Okokokokok, so tfk finished another good album. see how i stress on good. it wasnt great but not bad. Songs' melody is nice, but sometimes Trevor Mcnevan pushes his voice too much. Gets annoying sometimes. Good songs are : 'Wish You Well', 'What Do We Know',
Notice they are all slow songs. Maybe its just me but i liked the slow songs. A bit different I guess.
Reason why its only 'good' cuz i've heard this stuff before. If you never heard of TFK than its pretty good album. But its nothing new. Nothing original from TFK. But still worthy enough to be in yur collection. Not a classic but hey, TFk is pretty good band.
The flame in all of us!!
Well, this is definately a good c.d. It is my favorite out of all of them, however, I've only heard two of them. But anyway, the best song on this c.d., in my opinion, would have to be "Learn to Breathe" "Falls Apart," and "The flame in all of us." This is definately a good c.d. to but for all of you TFK fans. I know I really enjoy it.
amazing
i love, finally got a copy today and i'm in love, it's soooo good, like, it's amzing, it's their best since phenomenon, which isn't sayin tht much guess, lol, but it's awesome, i love it, lyrics are great, music is great, it's a great cd
Worth every cent
From the moment I put in 'The Flame in all of us' I was blown away. I can not get enough. Aaaaah I've been waiting for a cd to do this to me since Skillet's Comatose! The greatest thing about this new cd is that aside from the energy that IS TFK, the lyrics have amazing depth. Trevor and the band have grown incredible in this. You can tell that they must have undergone some serious life challenges this year, and it reflected in the songs. They put together a great mix of hard rocking/moshing songs, along with some beautiful ballads and heart-touching songs.
Hard to pick favorites, as the whole CD is amazing, but the emotional softie in me adores the songs 'Wish you well', 'My home' and 'Broken Wing'.
TFK...
TFK has always had amazing energy on stage and a loyal following of fans. Such fun and energetic songs, with a few ballads thrown in. The cd Phenomenon has been on my 'top 5' cd list since it first came out. SO I was skeptical when the newest project came out. How could they ever compare to that amazing prior project? 'The art of breaking' project was good, but just didn't hit the spot with me.

TFK continues to ROCK THE PARTAY!
Go get the CD today.
Awesome!
The CD is the best! My favorite yet of thousand foot krutch. My favorites songs are falls apart, new drug, and favorite disease.
It sounds awesome!
from what i've heard so far (which is only a couple of songs) i think 'the flame in all of us' is absolutely amazingly awesome!
The Flame
The Flame in All Of Us... couldn't say it better myself. God is an all consuming fire and this album is enfused with the Spirit of God!! Awesome album! I really enjoyed TFK's newest release. I recommend that you check it out too.
Good
I haven't heard much of their old stuff but if you like hard rock this a definite buy
A Thousand Times Better Than The Previous Foot Krutch
The lowest point in the album is "Broken Wing" which is a... well, I don't know what it is. But it doesn't work. "The Safest Place" comes a close second with the strange voice in the background. I won't even try to figure out what noise he's making.
Sure, TFK had slower songs like "Breathe You In," but this album completely departs from that, and has a good 3 songs that are slow. And when I say good, I mean great. If you haven't heard this album, imagine Trevor McNeven singing with violins in the background, in a slow and steady song, with, get this, acoustic instruments. WHOA! That's different. The change in m...
The most noticeable change right off the bat is less screaming, and less anger. Sure there's still lots of emotion, it's just less angry. You're not going to find any songs like "Rawkfist" or "Hit The Floor," but there's still some harder rock, i.e. "Falls Apart," "My Own Entity," and "Inhuman." These songs and others are usual TFK fare. Sure they might be toned down just a bit, and depending on your love for the group, this is either good or bad.

The change in my eyes is very welcome, and breaks TFK out of their hard rock shell. The results are excellent.
"What Do We Know" is supposed to be about the recent disasters in the world, and about how God's in control, and we're not. The result comes out interesting. The chorus gets repetitive, and the children's choir in the background is very out of place for a TFK album. But the musical style is great. It's very similar to another song on the album, which brings us to.
The HIGHLIGHT! 15 seconds after "Wish You Well," comes literally, "The Last Song." This is the best serious hidden track of all time. It's better than the whole album, combined, for me at least. The lyrics, the vocals, the musical style, the catchiness all succeed in amazing ways, and makes for the most surprising and best track of the record.
Hopefully it isn't the last song for TFK. They hit their stride in this album, and it'll please long time fans. The new shift with some of the songs is a breath of fresh air, and there's enough hard rock for the TFK fans. Disappointment on anybody's part? Nope. If you don't like hard rock, get the album off of I-Tunes. If you do, buy it, you won't be disappointed in the least bit.
ignite the flame
It's been years since I've downloaded an entire album, but this one from Thousand Foot Krutch was well worth it! The album contains a great mix of songs, hard hitting and guitar heavy to soft and vulnerable. My faves are THE FLAME IN ALL OF US, FALLS APART, WHAT DO WE KNOW, NEW DRUG, WISH YOU WELL, INHUMAN, and THE LAST SONG. The message of TFK’s music is a light in an otherwise dim rock genre, plagued by songs touting overindulgence, rage and despair. TFK’s music is filled with the hope of Christ… music that prompts us to turn our hearts and minds to God, inviting Him to ignite the flame in all of us!
another great TFK
TFK has done it again with flame in all if us. It is another great CD by them. If you like the previous ones you will like this one.
This album is flamin HOT
I pre-ordered this album on itunes at was able to download the album at 11 pm the night before it was to drop. I listed to the album on my way to work and it is great.
It is a little slower than there past work; IE Phenomenom and The art of breaking, but has some excellent songs that will get the adrenaline going.
The title track "The flame in all of us" gets the album started out right. Falls apart the first single off the album and the next song new drug keep the rock going.
What do we know, the second single of the album is slower but still offers excellent lyrics and sound.
The album in it's entirety is solid and a must get for all TFK fans or even for those that are new to the christian rock world.
You won't be disappointed at getting this album
you guys rock
i havent heard all of the cd but i am waiting for the cd in the mail and the songs that i heard are amazing keep it up guys you rock.

Haven't heard the compleet album yet but i think it's another hit from tfk.
Falls apart is already my favorite song.
Favorite disease,Flame in all of us ,What do we Know and New drug are already on purevolume.
