I gotta be completely honest and say that I just got this CD a few days ago. That is because I had the tape when I was much younger and I am really getting back into these guys. Their music is truly great. This is my favorite album of theirs with "Great Lengths" and "Merry Go Round" not to mention all of the other great songs. A must have for music fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars These Guys Could Really Write!, January 10, 2003

Following Christ is a fantastic journey! There are so many simple and deep truths to discover. Of course, all of these truths are found in the Bible. But the great thing is that so many men and women have responded to these truths in art. The number of books on the Christian faith are inumerable. There are a limitless amount of paintings and sculpture responding to the faith also. But for so many the deepest statements have been made through music.
PFR really took their faith seriously. I'm sure each member still does take their faith seriously, but unfortunately they aren't together as a band right now. So I guess I can't speak of PFR in present tense. If you love music with truth about Christ in it, PFR is the band to listen to. I love their sound. It's been said that they sound a lot like the Beatles and Crowded House. I can definitely see the Beatles influence. The Harmonies are tight. The music is upbeat and well played.
But the best element is definitely found in the lyrics.
I could comment on all of the songs but I'll only highlight a few. #3 "Merry Go Round is an excellent track. It says so much about life before we know Him. Life spins us around and around until we choose to gain peace through Chirst.
For me, the highlight of the album is the seemless blending of songs from track #6 "Trials turned to Gold" to the ending track #11 "Life Goes On". This series of songs is an example of brilliant writing and producing. It's much like side two of Abbey Road. The band displays all it's musical talent... great musicianship... great singing... great writing on this last 6 tracks.
Check it out if you haven't yet. You won't be disappointed!

I am so excited about this CD.
I got it recently on sale because it was considered "old"
Seriously, I don't think so. I'm listening to their music every day pretty much. And I didn't even know they existed a few years ago!
Their music is different. ( can be compared to the Beetle's sound sometimes)
And the lyrics actually have meaning. A must have for any Christian Music lover!
