5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best Rock CDs I've ever heard!, December 29, 1999

By A Customer

Do you think there is no such thing as tight sounding rock music with a worth while message? Think again! "Flying" by GRAMMATRAIN is one of the best rock albums I've ever heard. It combines some of the best instrumentation you'll ever hear on a rock album, with strong, thought provoking lyrics. The rhythm section of this band reminiscent of Led Zeppelin; "yes it's that strong"! There is really not a dud on here; just one great tune after another. My favorite song is "Pain" (one word for you here, INTENSE). I purchased this cd a couple of years back, and it still gets heavy rotation on all of my cd players.

4.0 out of 5 stars The dream would not leave me although I left my bed...., April 30, 2006

By	Music fan from Bama - See all my reviews

Although released in 1997, this excellent jewel was actually four or five years too late. Simply put, the songs on this disc are good enough to compete with the best of the secular stuff offered by Grammatrain's fellow "Seattle-ites". As a huge fan of early-to-mid 90s grunge (Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, AIC, Screaming Trees, etc.), there is no doubt Grammatrain are good enough to be mentioned in the same breath as those bands.

Now, as far as the disc is concerned, it's absolutely amazing - musically and lyrically. The hit song Flying, while simple, is lyrical brilliance. Don't believe me - then give it a listen.

If you are a fan of early 90s grunge and don't have this disc, you are missing out. And yes, Christians can ROCK!

Worth buying for: Flying, Sell your Soul, Found in You

Icing on the cake: all others

Could have done without: n/a

5.0 out of 5 stars Christian Grunge? Awwww Yeah!, March 25, 1999

By A Customer

Grammatrain is probably the one and only group I've ever heard that managed to combine the religous message of other christian music groups with the seattle-grunge sound of such greats as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nirvana, and their like. It's an odd combo, you may think, but one that works masterfully, especially on "Pain", "Fuse" and "Flying". Grammatrain is a group that deserves far more attention then they've recieved, and this cd is why.
