5.0 out of 5 stars When this first came out, it was ground-breaking!, September 22, 2008

When I first heard Pray for Rain -- who later had to change their name to PFR for copyright reasons -- I was blown away. There was no one else in Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) who sounded like them. They were kind of alternative and the lead singer's voice was so distinct that I was instantly enthralled. Their first song, which got a lot of airplay, was "Let Go" and to this day, I think it's a classic that everyone should adopt as their mantra. To me, the whole album/CD/project is classic -- from its mellow tunes to rockin' ones, I highly recommend this CD if you like '90s CCM. Long life PFR!

4.0 out of 5 stars And So Begins PFR..., April 26, 2006

This is not the greatest PFR album either lyrically or musically, but it is by no means bad. Even the songs which I would deem the worst never seem like filler. Basically, this overall album is good for pulling out every few months or so and having a listen once or twice through.

Having said that, there are four songs which I listen to regularly on my computer; after that no other song seems to have that certain listen-to-it-repeatedly quality. You Lord, Do You Want To Know Love, Stay, and Forest all have quite catchy beats and lyrics that keep you thinking. I realize the obvious song left off is Pray For Rain, since (duh) it's not only the title track but has the same name as the band. Over time, though, like the other five songs, it gets to be boring and repetitive. To be fair, songs like Let Go and My Time are decent songs with solid lyrics. However, they are not the epitome of PFR's slow songs, but more than anything they lay a foundation for later, better songs (Fight, Forever, etc.)

Anyway, if you are new to PFR, you should buy another CD first before this one. If you are not new to PFR, you know PFR is a great rockin' band and at some point your collection must be completed....
