4.0 out of 5 stars High quality Christian rock/pop, June 9, 2009

I am a Christian and I love alternative rock music but I don't often listen to Christian rock because I grew up in the 80s and back then, with the exception of a very few bands, it was awful.

It has gradually gotten better over the past decade and it's great to see new bands like Philmont who can create excellent music and vocals that can stand alongside the secular greats.

This album was very impressive -- it's got several lovely tunes, great vocals and harmonies and some nice piano playing and guitar riffs. The lyrics are thoughtful, too. A few of the tunes are a little frantic and poppy and there's a bit too much synthesizer for my taste, but overall I was very pleased. My 15 year old son likes it even better than I do and he takes the CD to play at his youth group meetings.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than I expected. Good for Christian punk-rock., September 19, 2009

First of all, I really liked the 80s looking CD cover and the title "Oh Snap". Even before I started listening to the CD, I had this expectation that the songs would be a little more playful and fun than usual Christian music. I wasn't mistaken. These guys sound like they enjoy what they are doing and having fun with some punk-inspired music. It's hard to say that it is punk-rock, but I would say it is punk-inspired pop music. The lyrics are mostly uplifting, but not too cheesy. If you are into Christian music and looking for something different within that area, I recommend picking this album up.

I do appreciate some good Christian rock. I would more rank this closer to "decent" than "good." It starts off great with their first track, "I can't stand to fall," but everything else sounds like all the Christian Rock out there... which isn't necessarily a bad thing. But, other than the first song in my opinion, there isn't anything groundbreaking about this music.

If you like Christian Rock, pick this up. I don't think you'll regret it. Just don't expect to be blown away.
