I have had this Cd for a few years now and it continues to be my favorite cd. The creativity and emotion that the authors bring forth has continued to touch me. I wish I could personally thank the authors some day for taking the time to produce this extremely quality album that has the ability to reach the soul. I highly recomend this cd as a gift for the non-Christian. I am highly suprised the music on this CD did not become extremely popular in the secular market. It's tunes rival any that are out there today.

The New Church Of Rhythm album is much better than their first one. "Not Perfect" is totally contemporary Rock Alternative, great, I love the songs, I like the energy, the vocals are still great as was true in their first album, but the music is better. I almost didn't buy another album by them but I am so glad I did. (sort of like DC Talk, Jars Of Clay, PFR, etc.)

We got this CD after going to a concert they had in our church several years ago. I am very happy to have the songs. One of the songs that helped get me through hard times is the "Life is worth Fighting For." If I remember what they said in the concert, that song was based on an experience one of the singers went through with a friend. I also love Matter of time, Common People and several other songs on the CD.
I just wish I knew what happened to the band and wish they'd make more albums like this.

Like the other reviewers on here, I was stunned after listening to "Not Perfect". What's ironic is this CD IS PERFECT. All these songs are masterful. Musically it's a bit like DC Talk, especially Toby Mac and Kevin Max. But it's more smooth, more consistently good, song after song. The mix of rock and R&B with pop is appealing to almost everyone. The songwriting and playing is flawless. When you listen to this CD, you really can go from start to finish and enjoy every song.

All these songs will speak to you in a special way. Grace seems to be an overarching theme on Not Perfect. God's perfect grace. This is a great disc to give to a non Christian, as the music will be the door to questions. Most Christian music has a wannabe sound. This is authentic and as good as anything secular. Go find this CD and then share it with friends.

I discovered this CD in 1999, and listened to it all the time. I've not found a more powerful collection of music on any other CD. Every song speaks to me....and each time I listen to it causes me to reflect and think about life. This is an awesome CD to give to a non-Christian.....everyone can relate to the lyrics. I lost track of it through several moves, but came across it today and have it playing in the background. If you haven't heard this CD, you need to.

God literally delivered this CD into my hands a year or so ago. I had never heard of the group and was skeptical to say the least. But after giving it a spin, I was instantly hooked and it has become one of my all-time favorites (on par with Jars of Clay). Exquisite lyrics and impressive production quality make this CD a thing of beauty. If more Christian music had sounded like this in my teen years, my CD collection would look very different today. Thank you God, and thank you Church of Rhythm.

First let me point out that this band has broken up and is no longer putting out new material. For those who have stumbled across this review, please please please read on.
I bought this CD when I was a junior in high school when it was first released back in 1997. Five years later this is still the best CD I own, and I own over 400 CD's.
Through the years this CD has made me smile, cry, dance, sit in wonder, praise, and reflect. I honestly can not think of a CD that has effected my life in the way this CD has.
As the years have gone on and this CD has dropped in price, I'll run across it in a store for a couple of dollars. I can't help but pick up a copy to give to a friend in hopes that it effects them in the same way it has me.
Max, the main song writer on this album, has since moved on to the band Superchick, and I only wish they could find the pure passion found on "Not Perfect."
"Not Perfect," is truely a gem in a land of dirt. Don't pass this CD up. If you buy it and don't like it, you can always send it to me. I can think of many more who could use it.

I feal that this cd is a blessing to all who give it a chance to change their lives. I feal that the music is powerful and up lifting. I wish this cd was easier to find. I have been looking for it for three years and as you know I found it and was so excited when I could order it. I feal that this cd should be made more public and should be easily acceseble.

If you like christian music, I don't know how you couldn't like this disk. All the heart of The Jars of Clay's self-titled CD,but with a different sound.

This is a truely great CD. The sound is wonderful, I listened to this CD for months straight, every time I drove anywhere. Not only is the sound so cool, but the lyrics are moving. This is a CD I would recomend to anyone!
