Christian alternative/pop rock at its best Plankeyeone of the best christian bands ever, buy every album, you cant go wrong. A little more poppy than the spark or spill, but i think they were just keeping up with the times.
If you're reading this though, you're probably listening to the new Jars of Clay record or something. If Scott was singing this emotionally about loving himself, I'd still listen to it. The music is incredible. I got this album in the 6th grade. Go listen to something good, (Sunny Day Real Estate, Blood Brothers). It's a shame that the rest of the earth won't hear this because one, it's old, and two, it's Christian. I'm graduating from high school now and I sill love this record. I don't like this record because it's Christian, which is more than I can say for most of these morons who can't broaden their horizons past Tooth and Nail records, (which is making a comeback now), but I love this record because he actually means what he's saying.
The lyrics memoriable and meaningful. Out of all the albums I've ever listened to, this has been my favorite album for 5+ years going. This is plankeye, college rock, and christian music at its finest. I love every song on this CD, absolutly no filler. As a guitar player this would be the kind of music I would aspire to play. This album is catchy, but not repetative, simple, but beautiful.
Plankeye doesn't fall easily into one subgenre or the other, they just flat rock, and by doing so actually have their own unique sound. There's a fair mix of slower songs and catchy, energetic rockers.
The lyrics are also great. One amazing thing Plankeye does is put big rocking guitar solos in pop songs, something more bands should do.
In around 40 minutes, Plankeye made an awesome rock record. they're great.
Just get this album. It's such an awesome rock record because it is just that, a straight up rock record.
Anyway, onto the songs.
I promise. This CD is fantastic, and you won't regret buying this one. "Spill" is good, "The Spark" rocks, and the two new ones are excellent as well.but none compare to the soul-driven songs on "Commonwealth". Scott Siletta really delivers on this one, from the mellow "Push Me Down (Veiled)" to the hard-hitting "Placement" to the worshipful "Who Loves You More.".
