Addison Road ... What a Surprise!
Posted February 04, 2008
By BassAngelMLS,
I honestly didn't know what to expect from Addison Road...I wasn't very excited. I just thought, "ok, another Superchic[k]." I figured it would be another teeny-bopper CD.
Surprisingly, their lyrics go deeper then your average Christian band. But from the very first line in "This Could be Our Day" a smile just spread across my face and I was hooked. It's a great anthem that could go be any youth/young adults groups theme song.
"That's All that Matters" ... is another good song about finding your identity in Christ and letting His love be all you need.
"Sticking with You" was a bit bubble gummy for me but its catchy.
"Hope Now" ... though simple, sticks with you. Its more of a ballad but still good. It's a song about faith ...
Ah "Starting Over Again." I love songs that continue to progress through out the song, building and building. And that is exactly what this song does. The song speaks of getting back up after falling ... and take that first step to starting over and changing. So it's pretty cool that as they speak of building your life again ... the musicality is building also.
"Run" was a pleasant surprise. I expected it to be fluffy ... but it wasn't and I loved the message it gave. About running towards God and not looking back at what you have left behind or used to be.
Overall ... I really like Addison Road. I'm going to listen to their album as much as I can before it disappears tomorrow. The icing on the cake was when I read their biography and discovered their mission is more than just making God music ... but leading people to the feet of Jesus. Telling the world all they know about the Loving Savior. "This Could Be Our Day" is the anthem of the lives and it is what they want to do. And that in itself is enough for me! Addison Road will be on my MP3 player as soon as I buy the album! Such a pleasant surprise :) View All Music And Book Reviews By BassAngelMLS | View BassAngelMLS's Profile
