5.0 out of 5 stars I am new to Audio Adrenaline, February 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Bloom (Audio CD)

I just got into Audio Adrenaline after being introduced to christian rock a year or so back. I am a christian man who loves Jesus but I also demand my music to talk to my soul. I first was introduced to Third Day and was totally blown away with all of their albums. I really thought that would be the only christian band I would fall for totally. I have to admit that I do like a lot of songs from various christian bands though. But, I have not found a band that compared to Third Day until I bought Bloom. I also bought Underdog and Don't Censor Me the same day and found Bloom to dominate over those. There are several songs on Don't Censor Me that I really like but overall Underdog is better. I think Bloom is the cream of the crop as far as Audio goes. I like nearly every song and I liked it the very first time I put it on for a spin. Never gonna be as big as Jesus just simply rules. I did have more to say but my baby is very upset so gotta go.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best of Audio A, September 8, 2002

By 

Justin (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bloom (Audio CD)

After two funkish sounding albums, Audio Adrenaline released their first great hard rock album Bloom. This album is full of great rockers, famous radio hits, and many other suprise tracks.

Secrets: Great way to start out the album. Good rocker w/ good vocals. (9/10)

Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus: One of the hits off the album. Good solid rock song. (9/10)

Good People: Very catchy, upbeat song. (8.5/10)

Not The King: Awesome rocker. Features great rock vocals. (9.5/10)

Walk On Water: A little laid back. Good lyrics, good vocals, good song. (8/10)

See Through: My favorite off this album. Awesome hard guitar rift, great chorus, good message, and a great ending. (10/10)

Free Ride: Great upbeat cover song. Good guitaring and vocals. (10/10)

Man Of God: Good ballad w/ a good chorus and heart-felt vocals. (8/10)

Gloryland: Another good rock song. (8/10)

Jazz Odyssey: Mildly funny, but no. (4/10)

Bag Lady: Decent song. Good lyrics. (8/10)

I Hear Jesus Calling (Demo): Good song. Catchy. (8/10)

Memoir: Another good rocker. (8/10)

Great rock album with a diversity of songs. Overall the best Audio A album, features great guitaring, vocals, and percussion.
Worth the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars Audio Adrenaline Blooms as band, April 3, 2004

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Bloom (Audio CD)

THE BAND
Audio Adrenaline, for those who don't know is a very hot rock band in christian music with a stream of endless hits and a giant fan base. Audio Adrenaline didn't get good just recently though. The band has been through many changes over time, but contunue to bust out solid rock. This apropreatley titled album is just as good now as it was then.
THE ALBUM
This album is renown as one of the breakthrough albums of christian rock and roll. Audio A broke out with mega-hit single Big House on their second studio effort, Don't Censor Me. On Bloom, Audio Adrenailine truely blooms.
AA's "funk rock" style is strong here with very addictive melodic guitar riffs and the voice of Mark Stuart compliment each other well. The lyrics are rich and inspiring.
THE TRACKS
Some of the highlights of this collection include the lively opening track "Secret" which sets the tone for the album, the ending cut "Memoir" about the point where Mark and the band are in their kife and how their lives are in bloom and "Never Gonna Be As Big As Jesus", the hard rockin' "I'm Not The King" and the thoughtful and inspiring "Walk On Water" from the the greatest hits album. Oh and one more thing. Don't forget that the band hand has a sense of humor. Great rock and a few suprises.
