4.0 out of 5 stars Plate Full of Delicious Tracks, November 22, 2009

Kicking off the album with Fire On The Inside and Whatever it Takes the album starts off as you would expect from Pillar. They are both decent hard rock songs which really get things moving for the album. Secrets and Regrets shows a more matured version of Pillar, a slight change that happens with each of their releases. Not Without A Fight and Call To Action are excellent Christian-soldier/anti-complacency anthems with a similar theme to Frontline, Fireproof, and For the Love of the Game, except these songs don't start with the letter "F". There are three ballads on this ten track album, but they are arguably Pillar's best ballads to date. The lyrics, although they don't necessarily suffer from any clichés, are not the best in the genre, but they get their point across with a positive message. This time around Rob flexes his vocal abilities a little bit more, and his aggressive screams are brief and well placed. The Collective Soul cover of Shine is well done, and although true to the original, it cranks up the volume with some excellent guitar and drum work from Noah and the new drummer. Kalel and Lester are both missed, but they are replaced by Taylor Carroll on drums and Rich Gilliand on Bass. Both replacements are obviously very skilled and fit in nicely with Pillars sound. This album is not groundbreaking, nor will it stand the test of time, but if there is one thing about Pillar it is that they can rock with a positive message and deliver a plate full of delicious tracks.

I love my rock and roll but on a recent road trip I let my kids play the dj with my 200+ cds. They would hand me one of my rock cds and I'd have to tell them they couldn't listen to it because the group had lyrics I didn't particularly feel appropriate for my kids. On a personal level I was also getting tired of everything being dirty and explicit. I was browsing music on my phone and came across the band Day of Fire. I really liked this group's sound. Obviously they couldn't be the only group like that so I started researching. Pillar is one of my very favorite groups to listen to. This cd is a GREAT workout cd and I've been more excited to get out and work out because I have great music. My kids love it too and I don't have to edit it or worry about what the lyrics contain. I WANT them to hear this message.

5.0 out of 5 stars Heavenly ~ Heartwarming ~ Honest, October 23, 2009

I was given this Cd by my son for Christmas. I have taken this long to review it because I haven't put it down. I must "confess" The CD is safe and in my Cd storage unit but my iPod is another story. The entire album is on there an I listen to it when I am happy, sad, or any other emotion that just needs a spiritual lift.
I would recommend this album or any Pillar Album to anyone of any age who loves good music. You don't have to be Christian to enjoy them, you will be when you are done ... ;o)
I wouldn't trade the gift they give with there music for anything. They reinforce my beliefs daily and I would like to thank them for that.
