5.0 out of 5 stars I love DSP, June 1, 2007

A few of the songs aren't quite up to par with the previous album, but I love this CD (along with most of the 5 Minute Walk / SaraBellum catalog). My favorite track is probably the brooding "Heavy as it Goes," great way to end the recording carrier of a great band. Intelligent and challenging lyrics, great music. Justin Steven's vocals are an acquired taste, but addictive once acquired. Give it a chance and you won't regret it.

The music is awesome, the lyrics and riveting and you will find yourself inspired and changed by the album. It's very heartfelt and passionate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly good, July 5, 2002

I generally don't like Christian music, simply because most of it is cheesy. Dime Store Prophets, though, has surprisingly intelligent lyrics, and I dig the Southern Rock sound. There are a couple cheesy tracks on the CD, but I think the purpose behind them was fun, and not to deliver a serious message, so it's okay.

The best songs on the album are the title track, Boxing Shadows, and Suckers Alchemy.

Oh, and one more reason I like the album, it's got a sullen feel to it, which is unique in Christian music. It's not the happy-go-lucky attitude that most bands try to convey.
