Friday, November 6th, 2009Hawk Nelson – Live Life Loud
Monday, November 2nd, 2009From the cheerleading intro to the album’s title track Life Life Loud, Hawk Nelson is on a pop-punk journey and they want you along for the ride. There’s a lot to like here, including repeated calls to actively engage in life instead of sitting on the sidelines. You’ll even find a revved up remake of the old hymn “Tis So Sweet” and a wacky “Ode To Lord Stanley” that only a Canadian band could get by with. An extra bonus when you buy Live Life Loud is a miniature pair of 3D glasses that you will need to view the photos of the band dressed up like fruit.
Skillet – Awake
Monday, November 2nd, 2009Skillet’s studio follow up to its breakthrough Comatose album will likely please a broader range of listeners while leaving longtime fans wondering what happened to the edgier sound from previous releases. From all appearances, the new Skillet is produced for radio play and should do well in that arena. The band’s lyrics, as always, remain solid to the core. One note: many are discussing how the song “Lucy” seems to address the grief of losing a child, possibly to abortion. Lead singer John Cooper says the song was written to address all times of loss.
