Daylight Led by brothers Bear and Bo Rinehart, Needtobreathe has already earned a fervent following. With its expressive sound and confident worldview, Daylight marks the coming of Needtobreathe as a genuinely moving, often inspiring new band.	The Altar and the Door When you've become one of contemporary Christian music's biggest stars, there are a lot of temptations to change your sound or tone the message down a little to reach a larger audience. But the anthemic, guitar-based Casting Crowns simply use their music as a pulpit ever more. De...	Revelation With the release of its 11th studio album Revelation, Third Day's Mac Powell, Tai Anderson, Mark Lee and David Carr have hit new heights as Christian music's premiere rock band.

Remedy The cruel joke about contemporary Christian music for years has been that the recipe for successful CCM is to take a neutered form of some "alternative" rock from ten years ago, replace the word "baby" with "Jesus" and there you go--please do not forget to pick up your Dove award...

Like the sound these guys make.
Bought this for the track " Washed in the Water", but like some others on the CD also. A bit different then their first CD in style.

Terrific!
I hadn't expected to like this CD as much as I do. It's rare that you find one where you like just about every song on the albumn. The lead singers voice has a unique quality almost gravely but no so much you can't understand most of the lyrics. I recommend this to every lover of Christian music. Upbeat and good enough to even dance to, this gets the juices flowing and is a great combo of praising God and gettin' down to boogie! You'll love it!

A great breakout album
If you could combine indie, jazz, blues with a hint of bluegrass you would have needtobreathe. This was the first album that I have bought of theirs and overall I am very impressed with the product. For originality I would would give them an A+. Their music is not recycled or generic in any way. They have some fresh ideas and find clever musical rifts as well as lyrics. The back stretch of the album had some of the best musical structures on the album. "Looks like love" has a very unique guitar rift that sets it apart. Also "Nothing left to lose" has a pounding message and is accented by it's strong musical component. The lyrics were well written although vague and ambigious at times. Perhaps the real star of this band is Bear Rhinehart who is the lead singer. His vocals are not generic. He has the most unique voice that is both raw and sincere. The reason I gave it a 4 star rating was because the middle of the album had some great songs but it seemed to me that it was lagging some in comparison with the front and back stretch. I liked all the songs well but I am not sure about the continuity of the album. However, I look forward to their next album because I think the best is yet to come for this group.

Great Album
I initially heard "We Could Run Away" on Music Choice's alternative rock channel on Comcast Cable. I loved the song and decided to by the cd. I was listening to it for a two weeks before realizing it was contemporary Christian. This is not a genre that I have listened to much, in the past. Wow, I may have been missing out on some great music. Tracks 1-9 are fantastic, 10-13 are ok and I do like 14, too. You rarely can expect to get 10 great songs out of an album, today. This is coming from someone who includes Radiohead, The Killers, Arctic Monkeys, Led Zepplin, Pink Floyd, Chevelle, Keane, The Racanteurs, Ray LaMontagne, A Perfect Circle and Tool as some of his favorites. I highly recommend this album and look forward to thier next one!

Wow!
These guys are fresh and completely sold out for Jesus. I can't wait for their next offering!
