I'm OK. Are You?| Posted April 04, 2008
We have waited too long for The Afters next CD to Come out. I Wish We All Could Win was an excellent debut CD. Well their new CD is finally out.I must say,IMO it was well worth the wait.The title song,"Never Going Back TO OK" is an excellent song with a catchy beat and a great message to boot."Keeping Me Alive" is a fantastic song.It is just now getting airplay on CCM radio. This song has a powerful message and should be a big hit for The Afters.My two favorite songs on the CD are "Ocean Wide" and Summer Again". These are great ballads with great lyrics that speak to my spirit about the great love God has for each of us. As they say in the song "love is an ocean wide". "We are the Sound" is a good rockin' song I feel all will enjoy. Now we get to the most talked about song on this CD-"Myspace Girl".I have read other reviews saying this song shouldn't even be on the CD etc,etc.I like the song.I find myself singing along with it as I'm sure most of you do. Enjoy the song for what it is- a nice little ditty.I saw The Afters perform this song live and they get the crowd involved by clapping along.We really liked it.
If you do not have this CD,I urge you to get it. You won't ever go back to OK again
A great follow-up to their first cd...| Posted March 11, 2008
I thought the cd was pretty much awesome and it didn't hurt that I got it for like five bucks either haha But yeah it's really good! The harmonies on the songs are spot on and the music arrangements are worthy of The Afters. I have to say that some of the songs start sounding alike after a while but a quick remedy to that is to keep it in a playlist with a bunch of other songs. They'll stand out more for some reason. So definitely go buy their cd! You'll be glad you did.

i bought this album the other day because it was on sale for $5. i'll admit that i bought it because i saw the ad on nrt for the album and it was cheap. i've heard the title album and didn't like it much but the album is growing on me.

I love this album! great lyrics,great sound.
I love all the songs.There's a great mixture of upbeat fun songs like the title song and
"Myspace Girl"(made me laugh) and slower beautiful songs like "Summers End" and "Ocean Wide"
It's a fun,uplifting album,it made me smile listening to it^_^ I highly reccomend it.
