Many people were worried when TJ Harris took over on vocals that the band wouldn't be good. Actually, the exact opposite happened. In my opinion, this album is a lot better than End of Grey. These songs stand on their own better, with more ballads. With End of Grey you'd have so many straight up in your face rock songs (which I still love) that they'd all start sounding similar. On this CD, songs are a lot more spread out and the theme of the album is in a better order. Overall, one of the greater albums of 2009.

I purchased this album online and ever since I got it, I can't stop listening to it. "Ride With Me" is my fave on the disc. "Fading" is a good look at addiction.

Crash is an amazng rock cd that has pure lyrics, emotion, and sincerity. They cover a variety of topics that everybody faces at somepoint in ourlives.
At first I wasn't sure if I would be a huge fan of the cd. Mainly because the main singer Caleb Oliver was replaced by TJ Harris. Anytime a band gets a new singer it can either be amazing, a flop, or so so. For me, I thought Harris brought the band a dynamic sound through his amazing vocals. The band has grown and matured in their 2nd project.
Right off the bat I was hooked with the song crash, and the rest of the cd turned out to be amazing. My favorite song is "Best I Can" The lyrics are amazing and I could relate to their message.
Kudos to decyfer down for a solid sophomore release. From start to finish I find myself hooked on their melodies and wanting more.
Crash [Bonus itunes version]| Posted May 08, 2009
This is a good album for anyone who likes Hard Rock with a little bit of acoustics. I think it is a cross between Kutless, Skillet, and Coldplay. After Decyfer Down’s near tragic accident, which left all four members fighting for their life, Crash almost didn’t made it to fruition. “After the accident, we all questioned what we were doing because that was just another factor in it being such a big sacrifice to be on the road,” guitarist Brandon Mills recalls, also citing the fact that the guys miss their families when they're gone. “When we posted a blog on our MySpace page explaining what happened, it was so encouraging to see a whole page full of thoughts and support from people all over the country--and other countries as well--plus people who told us how much our music meant to them. That really helped us see that we are meant to do this, and even though we still run into obstacles, we're a better band because of it.”
Even though Crash is a metaphor for Decyfer Down’s ability to rise above its hurdles, it’s also a call for anyone broken to bounce back from whatever bogs them down and may hang between where you are and where/what you hope to be. The band has also had a lead singer change from Caleb Oliver to TJ Harris, who was formally of Fighting Instinct. All that has been said on Caleb’s departure is that he is dealing with “personal things”. It is unknown if he will even return. Caleb focused more on a unique voice; TJ Harris focuses on an edgier type of vocal. Even though most fans will be downtrodden by the removal of Caleb, fans will most likely enjoy TJ Harris when Crash is released.
Crash consists of 10 original songs; including rock and ballad tracks. Produced by Paul Ebersold (3 Doors Down, Saliva, and Sister Hazel) the disc has quite a few noteworthy tracks and resonates within your mind long after you stop listening. Starting out the highly anticipated (and greatly delayed) album is the title track, “Crash”. A picture of how everything in our life builds up a sort of pressure in our life. You try to buy time, figure out what is causing it, and fix it. Though no matter what you do you know you’re going to crash, but you’re going to try until you find a way through it. “Desperate” examines how our past and present situation seems to haunt us constantly, but we desperately want and need God, “a love that stands true”, to change us. It is so easy to be drawn into an addiction; it quickly takes root, digging chains deep into us, and takes us into a deep desperation, states “Fading”, we can’t even see hope through the darkness surrounding us, and we call out to God to save us from what we are becoming. “Best I Can” is my absolute favorite song on the album, hit-you-right-where-you-are lyrics as well as a mellow-hammering sound, it tells how even though we can’t live a perfect life, we are trying the best we can. It even seems hard to see ourselves how God sees us, and we can barely hold onto hope, which keeps us going. But we are promised God won’t let us go (we are never alone). Through that promise we can know we are living the best we can (through God’s grace) no matter where we go.
Calls to run from your addiction, of truth, to scream, and ride away from your pain, resonate from “Ride With Me” . . . let out your pain, leave it all, and get away from your addiction. “Wasting Away” is a cry for something more, and a reminder that it’s not too late to change, and you’re not alone in your struggles. A great southern twang with a caustic hammering intertwines together for a perfect rhythm, in “Over My Head”. The song examines when you think you’re in over your head how you need to find a way out, pack up, and get out of there because the battle’s already been won by God.
Continuing with the southern twang, “Moving On” (my second favorite) says how we can move on from our past lives (not wallowing in them), pick up our pieces, and live with what we have done. Because God has forgotten our pasts, so can we, and maybe we can start seeing hope through the clouds of discouragement. “The Life” is a song about moving on to a better life, leaving all our imperfections behind us and surviving through God’s grace (this world is not our final home). Even through provoking, we aren’t going back to the old wasted life so we can someday get to Heaven.
A depiction of how short this life is, “Forever With You” is my third favorite, and tells that when we get to Heaven we will be forever made new, and it reminds us that God is never far away. “Forever With You” is also a cry to love what He loves, to see what He sees, and a heart that burns like a fire in me. “I want your light in my life/ I want my heart renewed/ here I am/ here I am/ here I am/ Forever with you.”
If you’re a returning fan or a new one, you’ll want to Crash on 5/5/09. They have a great deal on the CD up on their site now, a mere steal for a (signed) superb album.
This album rocks!!| Posted May 07, 2009
Just arrived today- WOOHOO!! I'm listening to it for the 3rd time already.
We first got hooked on Fading, on Air1.
We love Crash just as much.
The words to Best I Can are awesome- very powerful.
There's nothing we don't like about this album.
I find my biggest connection with the Lord, to be through music.
