I have his first CD and loved it. Now I have this one! This is a great CD. I love History as well as Only Grace. Matthew West is so transparent with his life and he's so goofy. I love that in an artist. Most of all, I love how God can use someone to bring you closer to Him. That truly is what Christian music is all about!

Prior to buying this CD, the only song that I had heard from it was 'Next Thing You Know'. That song is very catchy and appealing to a wide variety of age groups. My teenage daughter likes it as much or more as I do.

After listening to the entire CD, I was very impressed. It is definitely not just a one hit album.

Matthew West has lyrics that definitely speak to Christians. For example, here is a bit from the song 'Only Grace':

"There is no guilt here. There is no shame. No pointing fingers. There is no blame. What happened yesterday has disappeared. The dirt has washed away and now it's clear. There's only grace. There's only love. There's only mercy. And believe me, it's enough. Your sins are gone without a trace."

Not only does he have solid lyrics, he has a very pleasing light rock sound. I recommend this for any Christian music fan who is looking for something new and a bit different.

I was lucky enough to be able to see Matthew West doing an in-store concert today, and I bought the CD before even seeing him play. I was extremely impressed with his demeanor and friendly nature, so that alone made me glad I had bought the CD. But on to the review--

There is no doubt in my mind that #6, "I Know You're There", will be a hit. It's a song about knowing God is there without ever seeing him. The upbeat tempo and great sound quality make it an extremely attractive track.

The other songs on this CD are decent, though none really stick out to me all that much. "History," the first song on the CD, is a good one. I'd recommend buying this CD if you're into the mainstream rock Christian scene.

I just got this CD, along with 3 other new Christian CDs, today. But I have not been able to stop listening to "History"!!! It is definitely in my top 5 Christian CDs...I have never felt so inspired by songs on a first listen as I have with Matt's CD. My favorite song is "History," but there really isn't a bad song on the CD! I highly recommend this album!

One day while out driving around I heard the song "History" and it stuck in my head. I finally broke down and bought the CD. It's WONDERFUL. I usually skip around on CD's (from song to song) because usually you only get 2 or 3 good songs. You can put this CD on and leave it, just let it play. It's so good. Matthew West is so talented, he wrote/co-wrote every song. I love the music (not too hard or soft, not the same sound over and over). These songs really deliver the message of God's unfathomable love and grace, which is something we all need to hear more of. Just ordered his "Happy" CD!

This is a great CD with a focus on the continuity of life and the blessing of grace for whatever has gone before and whatever lies ahead. Excellent, fun, touching, thoughtful tracks! A must buy.

Very few albums are good all the way through. This one deserves 5 stars for sure. It's catchy, makes you feel good, and has a great message. What inspired me to pick this album up was flipping through the radio I came across the song, "Only Grace", and it was just what I needed for my day. Pick it up you won't regret it.

After seeing matthew West in concert after he came to my college university and sang for a packed chapel full of UMHB students, I was completely blown away and touched. His songs were so beautiful and had good rhythm and beat to them that I couldn't help dancing along as he sung them. Going into the concert I thought I wouldn't like him, but I did. So give them a chance, you won't regret it and get their cd today!

I bought this CD after I bought his newest CD "Something to say". Now I don't know which one is my favorite. They are both so good it is impossible to put one above the other. VERY strong songwriting and VERY well produced. In addition to all that throw in some of the best musicians out there to go with Matthew's incredible voice and there you have it. Buy all of his CD's instantly. You won't regret it. I am a mostly full time drummer and I would absolutely love to play with him some time.

Good music, good price (cheaper than buying at the store) and arrived within a few days! My whole family likes it!
