Five Score and Seven Years Ago CD Review

Relient K, 2007.

Young man's music!
In the sense of unquestioning and unquestioned energy.
Positive, driving, with little room for introspective navel-gazing.
A Christian band, with a set of songs that uplift, empower and inspire.
Many of the songs could be described as anthemic, building to powerfully catchy choruses - easy to see how successful Relient K could be live.
A range of favourites, but "Forgiven" would be a hard one to ignore.

The last song on the album is called Deathbed, and recounts a guy's life and the encounter he has with Jesus prior to The End...a timely kind of song, and hopefully one that offers hope to those going through the whole grieving thing...

Young but not immature, powerful but not bombastic - heaps of potential, a lot realised here.
Reminiscent of Switchfoot, The Killers...
Not sure about the hoodies...

Thanks to Alexander for the loan!

10/10.
