I was skeptical about purchasing this CD, thinking it would be a typical 3 good songs with 7 fillers. It's not that at all. Not only are there 14 tracks on here but they are all strong. They have such a fresh and unique sound, especially for the Christian music scene. The fact that they are a family band just adds icing to the cake, in my opinion. I'm definitely looking forward to their future releases!

I love this cd. Smart lyrics, hard driving catchy punk tunes, with great brother and sister vocal combo.

The first three or four times I saw this group perform, I absolutely did not like them. Freaky/greasy lead singer, ghostly looking bassist sister, and scary muscle man drummer - umm, no thanks! Upon hearing the first single "You Know We're All So Fond Of Dying" it made me mad - put it in the category of "Great song/aweful group".... But with each new song that came out, I like it more than the one before.... Soon enough, I found myself listening to the entire album. I had no idea at the time that it would go on to become my absolute favorite album of all time. I've listened to this album over 200 times according to my iTunes playlist. The three siblings moved from being weirdos to absolute God filled messengers. I see them live whenever I can - some twenty something times over the past two years. The kids in my Youth Group constantly play this cd and also love going to their shows. Children 18:3 is an amazing piece of work, and one that has made my life much better!

All my balloons...love it. I like mondern punk bands that can take me back to the 80's.

For quite a while, I had this record suggested to me, but I hesitated to get it. Mostly because from looking at the cover, it looks like it might be some kind of dark Metal band or something (mostly, now that I think about it, from the way David Hostetter is looking at the camera with his eye make-up). Eventually though, I gave in and bought the record. I'm really glad I did.

I'm a fan of good punk music, but unfortunately there's little (in my opinion) good stuff available at the moment. Children 18:3, though, is definately one of the best ones I've ever heard. Granted all their songs aren't straight up punk, there are other styles that you can feel the influences of, but it just makes for a much more interesting record and the punk stands as the most dominant style. David and his sister Leemarie both have extremely strong vocal performances and tend to weave their voices together perfectly throughout the chaos of most of this record.

Lyrically, the record tends to remain cryptic, opting for a kind of "visual" lyrical style. They tend to deal a wide variety of subjects, from the spiritual anthem for Jesus' followers in "Final," to inner conflict hidden from others in "ditches," to even abortion in "we're all so fond of dying."

All in all, this is a record for people ranging die-hard punk fans to people just loooking for a fresh sound in music. Pick up this record, you WILL NOT be sorry ou did.

Having now owned this album for 2 years I can definitely say I continue to enjoy it just as much as when I first listened! Solid. very solid.

Wow! My brother saw these guys live and has their cd and told me that they were really good so I decided to download their cd and listen to them. Wow was he ever right. These guys and girl are awesome. Every song is so great and fun to rock out to. If you are looking for a good punk rock group that is lots of fun to rock out to, look no further than Children 18:3. You will be glad you did.
