This album is really good but one thing caught me off guard about it. I bought this about six months ago because a friend recommended it to me and my first thought after listening to it was -- the lead singer sounds exacly like the lead singer from the band Creed. Well I thought that they sounded like Creed and that was all good exept one thing -- I then found out that Third Day has been around quite a bit longer than Creed -- my point is that Third Day does not sound like Creed but that Creed sounds like Third Day. Well anyway I thought it to be funny but here is my opinion of Conspiracy #5-->>This cd really rocks hard and the band really puts out a great message about God's love for us as well as telling a little bit about God's plan for our lives. My favorite songs are-->Peace, You Make Me Mad, and My Hope Is You. I have since bought Third Days first album which is a self titled cd and have found it to be the best rock album I have ever listened to ever. This one is close but not quite as good as that first album. It is such a joy for me to have found such a quality band like Third Day to listen to when most of the music I have injoyed for most of my life has been less than satisfactory lyrically. This one and the s/t cd are lyrically very strong and factual regarding God's word and therefore very relevant for use in our in our lives. What a blessing to have such music in our "time"(I haven't bought their new one called Time yet but I will soooooon!) God bless you and I hope I have helped if you were curious to the quality of this cd. Goodnight I gotta go spin Conspiracy #5 because just talkin about it makes me wanna listen again!

Well let me fill you in on a little something. With Third Day you do not have to sacrifice in quality rock or lyrical content. Third Day is the best in the business and if you buy all three of their cds I promise you will agree. They are the answer to all people who wish to listen to a band that can crank it right along with the best and also include ballads that just will flat out bring you to tears. The song "My Hope Is You", is as good as any I have heard and that is saying something. I own over 250 cds and my Third Day cds are the highlight of my collection by far. I also recommend Creed and Audio Audrenaline. By the way, Third Day's first album completely rips and their third installment, Time, is simply beautiful in it's entirety also. I gotta go put this cd on for a spin once again, so talk at ya later. God bless and have a great night.

In 1997, Third Day followed up their self-titled debut with "Conspiracy No.5." "Conspiracy," produced by Sam Taylor (the man who discovered, managed & produced King's X and Galactic Cowboys),maintains some of the band's Southern Rock sound they had become known for ("Have Mercy"), but also ventures into other musical territories like grunge and alt-rock. Some have criticized 3D for trying to sound like Pearl Jam on this album, but I for one applaud them for trying to do something different. My overall favorite song is "Gomer's Theme," taken from the Old Testament story of Gomer, the unfaithful wife of the prophet Hosea (Hosea 1-3) and the unconditional love shown by her husband. Other noteworthy tracks include "You Make Me Mad," "Alien," "Have Mercy," "My Hope is You" & "Your Love Endures." "Conspiracy No. 5" is a great album, and an important part of the history of one of Christian music's greatest bands.

My veins pump with a love for hard rock..the problem is that there are so very few bands that praise, while raising the roof with well written songs and great, full sound. This is one awesome album, through and through. There are just not enough Christian bands out there that really let it rip! There are many "scream-o" and "nu-metal" so called Christian bands, but nothing like Third Day. These guys are annointed, and play great music. I prefer this album over any of the other Third Day albums, because of its harder edge and generous use of distortion; yet there are a few slower praise songs that fit perfectly! You can't help but tap your foot to every song; it is GREAT driving music! It is so cool to be able to sing lyrics with praise to our Creator and Savior....more.....more!

It took me awhile to warm up to Third Day. Even though I already owned this CD and the debut CD, it was not until I had burned holes in "Time" on my CD player that I really came to appreciate this band and their music. In all honesty, I did not like this album or its sound for long time. It took a couple of years, but now I love it!

Die-hard Third Day fans already know that this CD departs greatly from the debut project by featuring a much edgier and darker rock sound. My first exposure to this CD came from hearing "Alien" on the radio. Later cuts that got airplay include "Peace," "You Make Me Mad," and "Have Mercy." Although not as popular with the radio exec's in my part of the USA, "My Hope is You," "Who I Am," and "How's Your Head" also deserve credit. In fact, suffice it to say that all the songs on this CD stand strong on their own merits.

When you plug this album into your CD player, just let it play through without skipping ahead to your favorite songs. I hope you find yourself enjoying this 13 song effort as much as I do. It is okay to listen through several times before deciding later how much you like it (that's what I did!). Oh, wait a little while after "Your Love Endures" ends because a hidden track featuring a version of the chorus from "Who I Am" finishes the CD.

I don't know what people are talking about when they say that this one isn't as good as the other 3rd day CDs. I have to admit that the others are also amazing, but this one takes a new aproach- it is more hard-rock than the others. The others all have about 2-5 amazing songs on them that I can pick out, but on this one they are all so amazing that I literally cannot pick favorites. Excetpt Your Love Endure and I Deserve might be a little better. But they're all amazing!!

I was blown away by this CD. Even though it's their second release, I got this one first after I heard a cut from it on the WOW compilation CD. I was not disappointed. The sound, the vocals and the lyrics are awesome. If you've heard songs like "I've Always Loved You" on the radio and thought the band sounded good, you won't be disappointed when you start to pick up all of the CDs by Third Day. Not a dud in the bunch.

This is a truly masterful and anointed CD!. The lyrical content speaks a strong message and the music is original and enjoyable listening. Furthermore, having seen Third Day in concert, I commend them in that more than performing, they worship the Lord and bring the audience along with them into an exhilirating experience with God. It is one thing to be talented, which they are, but to be anointed of the Lord is a true blessing to both the band and all who listen.

If you've never heard Third Day before you are missing a treat. If you like stuff like Pearl Jam and Hootey and the Blowfish, I think you'll enjoy this music. I own the three cd's they have put out and conspiracy #5 is probably my favorite. Keep in mind, this is a Christian group, some of the lyrics may not be appropriate for you. The words may convict your heart and soul. The quality of the music is as good, if not better, than most secular rock music. Christian or not, if you like rock music, you'll enjoy this.

Third Day stays away from the dreaded sophmore slump in this disc. It wasn't as commercially sucessful as their debut album I feel mainly because they've changed their music style. Their debut album was more southern rock while this disc has a more grung-ish feel. You make me mad is a great rock tune that is sure to impress. As usual the lyrics are great making overall appeal of the album top notch. For those who are familiar with Third Day's southern rock style this may take you a listen or two to get used to the sound but I think you'll like it.
