Two very influential albums came out just before 2000, both named Supernatural, one by DCTalk and the other by Santana. Since ApologetiX brings together Christian and mainstream music, it's only fitting that our CD tug some meaning from those unlikely twins.
But Spoofernatural digs a little deeper. ApologetiX gets its name from "apologetics," the reasonable, logical and scientific defense of Christianity as historical fact. Listening to Spoofernatural, you will learn about a God who uses the supernatural to get the attention of the world.
There are a few themes running through the booklet that comes with Spoofernatural; maybe you caught them. One is the theme of the supernatural. The eerie aspects of life and the universe that we long to understand ? the immense depth and complexity of the world around us that matter-of-factly points to an intelligent Creator.
Another theme is that of the spectrum. God's handiwork, love and promises can be seen in the entire breadth of Creation, from beginning to end. That is represented by the spectrum. Remember the colors of the rainbow?
Finally, the third theme is God's message to a lost world. People who are blind to God can somehow see Him as He reaches out to them, often through the love of others. He makes Himself visible to them in their way of seeing.
There are people who can't or won't listen for His voice. It's as though they are deaf. But He can speak their language.
There are people who are at a great distance from God. They believe that it can't be true that He even exists. He can cross those miles with a message from afar that says, "If you look into it, you will find that I am here. "
Music is a wonderful way to communicate, and Christian music has been a major factor in many people's walks with God. But there are some who may never listen to it. There are some whose only exposure to Him is by hearing His story told in their language? in this case, their favorite music.

Apologetix as always has very cleverly found Godly lyrics that fit perfectly into the tune of the original song. There are only a few songs that I really enjoy on this cd. I find some of the lyrics to be rather cheesy such as "Elijah" (parody to Elvira by The Oak Ridge Boys) "Sin can be Resistable" (parody to Simply Irresistable by Robert Palmer) "Trooth" (parody to Smooth by Santana) and "Genny 22" (parody to 867-5309/Jenny by Tommy Tutone). Some of the other songs are just not my style at all, so I just don't enjoy the songs. But others such as "Pray Now(Lost Art)" (parody to All Star by Smashmouth) "Choirboy" (parody to Cowboy by Kid Rock) and "I Love Apostle Paul" (parody to I Love Rock and Roll by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts) are good substitutes for the secular versions of these songs that I really enjoy. The two songs that mean the most to me lyrically on this cd are "I want in that place" a parody of "I want it that way" by the Backstreet Boys and "Every Crown has its Thorns" which is a parody to "Every Rose has it's Thorn" by Poison. Apologetix is such a wide variety of sounds that me and my parents can enjoy their cds together, and believe me, my parents and I do not often enjoy the same kind of music. Granted we don't agree on all the songs because there is a generation gap of styles but there are many songs that we do enjoy together.
