This cd tells the story of Chist to 18 parody's of classic rock songs,the production on this cd is weaker than their newer stuff ,and while they tell the story of Christ it is very brief,because their is only so mutch time on a cd,but they do it pretty good, these are some of the best songs, Hotel cant afford ya (parody of "hotel californa" by The Eagles) Parable guy (parorody of "american pie" by Don mclean) I have to die first (parody of "eye of the tiger" by Surviour) Died and rose (parody of "china grove" by the Doobie brothers) Walk his way (parody of "walk this way" by Aerosmith) John 1:1 (parody of "fun,fun,fun" by the Beach boys) Narrow way to heaven (parody of "stairway to heaven" by Led zeppelin) and Fakey shakey parts (parody of "achy breaky heart" by Bill ray cyrus) this cd is not as good as their newer stuff,but stil is great

"Jesus Christ Morningstar" is a brilliant CD that uses "serious" parodies to tell the story of the life of Christ and also defend the inerrancy of Scripture, the Resurrection and other doctrines of the Christian faith.

In my opinion, the best parodies are (in no particular order):
"Parable Guy (parody of "American Pie" by Don McClean), "You May Be Bright (parody of "You May Be Right" by Billy Joel), "Fakey Shakey Parts (parody of "Achy Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus), "Died and Rose" (parody of "China Grove" by the Doobie Brothers) and "John 1:1" (parody of "Fun, Fun, Fun" by the Beach Boys). Other parodies on the CD include parodies of "Hotel California", "Stairway to Heaven", and the "Friends" theme song.

Each parody has brilliant lyrics that help bring you closer to Christ and successfully challenge the false doctrines taught by liberal theologians, all while your enjoying great music. This CD is highly, highly, highly recommended.

...listening to a Christian album! This was the second Apologetix CD I've purchased, and it won't be the last. I think I enjoyed this one more than "Grace Period" because there were more "oldies" parodies on it-perfect for an "oldie" like me. But it doesn't just appeal to me-my 12-year-old son loves it, too. The band does an excellent job in reproducing the sound of the originals. This album has a story line running through most of its tracks, following the life of Jesus. With the release of "The Passion," I found "You May Be Bright" particularly appropriate. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who loves old-time rock and pop hits, but wants to add a Christian sensibility to their listening at the same time.

This is my favorite ApologetiX CD. There are only one or two songs I skip while listening to it. The lyrics are amazing (especially on Hotel Can't Afford Ya and Parable Guy), and the music is great. These guys are definitely a great way to break away from the (sometimes) cookie-cutter music of today's Christian music scene.

This band is even worse than Hawthorne Heights I fear, and that's really saying something. I am appalled that people are giving them 5 stars when sweet bands like The Panic Channel and Green Day don't even get that many on average. For goodness sake, could your musical tastes be any lamer? This band doesn't make music, they mooch off already existent songs which are great until they ruin them with their agonizingly corny lyrics; anyone could make better lyrics! How dare people rate the original artists less than this violently pathetic band! They deserve no popularity, and it's no wonder to me why I even saw all of their CDs at a discount store AUTOGRAPHED even, unopened, for ONE DOLLAR EACH. They're that bad. Please never buy any of the CDs by this band, they're awful beyond belief. It's so awful that it's hard to even listen to, and at that point I'd be hesitant to call it music. One star is the only reasonable rating for this item. Down with Apologetix!
