Hallelujah...They're Going To Kill Us Too
Posted May 29, 2008
By singersmartguy17,
Just like several other reviewers below me, let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of true punk or harder rock. I'm more of a pop kind of guy, although I do like rockier bands like Fireflight, Skillet, and Flyleaf. In honesty, it really doesn't matter to me what kind of music it is...if it's catchy and gets stuck in my head, I like it. I'm a huge sucker for a catchy hook, whether it's good or not. And then came Children 18:3. I can honestly say EVERY SINGLE ONE of these songs have been stuck in my head at least once. I've had this cd for a little over 3 months and I know every word to every song, and it still gets played regularly in my cd player, even though I have bought about 5 or 6 more cds since then. I love the vocals, although Lee Marie's screaming is a bit overwhelming at times. The lyrics are so poetic and thought-provoking. I am still very confused about lyrics to "All My Balloons," "Final," and "LCM." But with all of the typical clichedness of today's Christian music, it was great to hear music that brought back true art in lyrics. Standout tracks are the ever-popular "All My Balloons," the uber-catchy "Homemade Valentine," the guitar-heavy "Final," and the short-but-sweet "Search Warrant."
Random comments:
-Why is the song called "LCM"? It sounds like a drug or something. Why not just name the song "Last Chance Marie"? If they can do it with this song, why not others? What about AMB, YKWASFOD, SW, ES, TAWB, etc.?
