Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Relient K's fifth CD is a diverse modern rock album that's so varied at times it sounds like a mix tape. "Take the Fifth" pulses with lush, Beach Boys-y harmonies, "Forgiven" is a piano-driven tune that sounds like early U2, and the dueling guitar feedback that opens "I Need You" displays deeper punk rock heaviosity. "Faking My Own Suicide"--a great tune powered by Death Cabby vocals, ironic yet playful lyrics, and a killer classic rock organ--seems destined for a movie soundtrack. The true standout is of course "Deathbed," an intense eleven minute ode to regret co-starring Jon Foreman of Switchfoot. Relient K have not only weathered lineup changes (the bassist and guitarist are new here) and mainstream success without "selling out" and foregoing their introspective messages of faith and hope. But they've made the best album in their career in the process. --Mike McGonigal

5.0 out of 5 stars Special K, 30 Aug 2007

By	Popbloke "The blind reviewer, sees things as ... (Cornwall, England) - See all my reviews

If this album really was a breakfast cereal it would be coco-wheata-frostie-suga-flakes, a real mix of everything. Well, grab your biggest spoon and dig in, because it tastes grrreat!
How Relient K haven't made it bigger on this side of the pond is still a mystery. With hooks bigger than Abu Hamza and clever lyrics the UK charts could learn a thing or two from this lot. Not to be dismissed on first listen as a straightforward rock album by the likes of Lostprophets and Blink 182, obligatory guitar riffs merge with piano to give a refreshing edge. String sections, slide guitar and other instrumentation feature on tracks that aren't in the straight ahead rock mould to lift the variety of songs on the record.
Lyrically at times it's like having a dictionary burped in your face, but personally I like the fact that there are some more complex words used, only rarely coming across as clumsy. However clever and witty the lyrics may be, if you don't want to take notice then no worries, the infectious nature of the choruses will keep you suitably entertained.
With songs played for laughs like the self explanitory 'faking my own suicide', to the emotional epic closer 'Death Bed', this record will suit the rock fan with a brain. Give it a try, like me, you will soon be Relient on it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best yet, 11 April 2007

By	BeerandBentley - See all my reviews

Every Relient K album is better than the last one. If you liked Mmhmm, you'll like this. Their music has matured since Mmhmm, but kept the same style and feel, which was exactly the right thing to do!

4.0 out of 5 stars If you only buy one album this year, buy this one., 22 Mar 2008

By	Little Ramona (Scotland) - See all my reviews

I got this album the week it was released and some months later I still love it. The punk/rock wall of sound this CD makes is great. Crank it up loud to appreciate it at its best. I just wish they would tour the UK. If you like the Ramones, U2, Blink 182, Stellar Kart, Everyday Sunday etc this ones for you.
