Album Reviews

This CD brings a unique blend of 80's punk rock,
modern alternative rock and reggae to the table ...
basically the same Supertones we've come to know and
love, just minus the ska. Some have called this
"recycled", but I find that their blend of musical
styles and use of instrumentals both ear-catching and
to be a breath of fresh air compared to most other
bands out there. The straight forward messages in
their lyrics are as powerful as they are true and add
to the appeal of this release. While it may appeal
more to more hard-core Supertones fans, new fans
won't be able to turn away from cuts like "We Shall
Overcome", "Wake Me Up On Time" and "Faith Of A
Child" easily because there is just too much honesty
in the lyrics.
The insert includes short explanations of each song
and the truth behind them and that is a nice extra.
While each listener will get what they get out of
each song, it's always nice to see where it came from
in a sense.
The only downside I found with this CD was the way it
started out with a bang and then slowed down to
something close to a crawl. That in itself isn't
necessarily a bad thing, but it was really unexpected
since most CD's are either all in your face or soft
and easy and previous Supertones releases didn't seem
to slow down from start to finish. |

I just recently purchased this CD, and I am very glad
that I did. The Supertones have done it again - created
an album that fuses great, theologically deep lyrics with
high-energy ska music. I love it. "Where I Find You" is
my favorite song on the CD, with "Wake Me Up On Time" and
"Shepherd is the Lamb" at close seconds. One bonus to
this CD is that Mojo gives an explanation for each song's
meaning in the inset. In conclusion, this is a good CD.
