A Nice FInd,

This review is from: Become Who You Are (Audio CD)
I stumbled across Mainstay rather by accident, first hearing the title song "Becoming Who You Are," and was blown away by the lead vocals. Really, really great vocalist here! I own this album and also recently saw this band live on tour with Jeremy Camp. They were great live and the lead vocals held up, too, which is often not the case when you get around to seeing a band perform live. My husband, having heard nothing of Mainstay, said the band reminded him just a bit of the Goo Goo Dolls. When they're really rocking (how I personally like them best), they have a terrific, full sound. I have no regrets about purchasing this album and look forward to more from Mainstay!

Wow! I'm surprised nobody gave this CD a rating.
I first heard of Mainstay from iTune when they had the song "Become who you are" as a free download. It's definitely a catchy little song that can be listened to over and over without getting bored. Compare with their previous album "Well meaning fiction" (which is a great album), "Become who you are" is a bit softer yet more melodic. Most songs are fairly quiet so if you're not into those kind of music then this is not the CD for you. Anyhow, I give this CD a 4.5 stars. If you're interested, definitely give it a try!

This review is from: Become Who You Are (MP3 Download)
Being a local music enthusiast, I had an immediate interest in Mainstay when I first heard about them. Musically, Become Who You Are has some nice melodies and hooks and a good even balance of "slow songs" and harder rocking material. One of the strongest points of Mainstay is Justin Anderson's crooning vocals. Comparable to the superb vocals of J.R. Richards from Dishwalla or Kevin Max of Dc Talk, I gotta imagine that voice helped propel them from "just another" suburban garage band to a nationally known group on the mainstream Christian music circuit. The only reason I didn't give this 4 or 5 stars was that it seems to lack the underground alternative rock or indie rock sound I was hoping for. So that is only me. Become Who You Are leans more towards being a polished pop rock record, but whether you like that or not, Mainstay has a good solid effort here, no doubt!
