When you go back after an initial listen and replay four or five songs, you have a good album. When you replay the entire CD three times and be amazed by its entire contents, you have an exceptional album. There have been many Christian rock groups with great openers. However, I can not recall any with a more impressive debut than this one. I literally can see ANY song on this album getting air-play, and I don't say that lightly.

The music is rock but not too heavy. It's VERY melody based, and the vocals are harmonized with ethereal perfection. Guitars are mixed with classical instruments (Peace Be Still). The lyrics are inspiring, moving, and very original. I would jump at the chance to see these guys live, and I am already waiting for their next album! Truly, an annointing which deserves celebration.

This is a great new album. Their single "Undo" has already made it to number one on the Christian Music charts. Personally I like "When Our Hearts Sing" the best. The music and lyrics are both so well matched and performed from the heart. It's nice to have lyrics that are not all the same old cliches and shallow repetitiveness so prominent in today's "worship" music. I think these guys are going to do well if they keep producing music like this.

Rush of Fools deserves to be praised for this album, its a very well balanced compilation and for a first album is exceptional by any standard. Vocals are clean, precise, and lofty, but more importantly, they are heartfelt. Instrumentation is equally clean and measured, never overdone or muddy. What's probably most striking about this CD, for me and my family, is how familiar this band sounds, yet it has a freshness and uniqueness of its own. I am a huge fan of Building 429, Anberlin, Relient K and Jeremy Camp and I'd be willing to recommend this band in the same breath with those. Mellower in tone overall compared to most of those, but - as one reveiewer put it - perfect for putting you in a worship state of mind. This band is going to succeed big-time if they remain on this track and continue to pour their hearts into their work as they've done with this album.

The amazing song "Undo" caused me to buy this and I was delighted to find that almost every other song on this stirring album is just as good. My especial favorites:
"When Our Hearts Sing"
"Peace Be Still"
"Your Love"
and "Already"
If you're a fan of Starfield, Casting Crowns, and similar artists, this is a MUST-HAVE addition to your collection.

I love the song 'undo' and the rest of the album is just as great. I am sometimes amazed at how much the new up and coming artists have such a wealth of songwriting talent. This group is going to be around a long time.

I don't even remember how I stumbled onto this band but I'm sure glad I did. After playing through the cd a few times I must say that I am impressed and have been recommending Rush of Fools to friends.

I always hate describing the way bands sound since the only way to do that is to reference other bands - which never seems fair or accurate. I'm not a The Fray fan, but I guess you would have to say the styling is in a similar sort of mold, I guess. Kinda. Not very helpful, I know! Just think of a mix of acoustic and electric rock brushing up on the very edges of hard rock. The lyrics are very well written and the instrumentation is excellent. And, unlike some Christian rock, it actually puts you in a worship state of mind. I look forward to seeing the band live sometime in the near future. Amazon has this cd for $11. Come on, you have eleven bucks. You won't be dissapointed.

One day my brother said that his friend said there's a new good band that my brother also haven't hear it yet. I don't really want to rush to buy CD, because many times, people's opinion is not that objective, especially this one, my brother who recommended it even haven't hear it yet.

I went to a CD store, saw this CD, but I didn't buy it. But, my brother saying the same thing again, and ask if I had buy the CD yet, so I said, why don't I give it a shoot. And it was awesome.

This band is real. The more you listen to them, the more you hooked to their music.

I first heard this group over the radio and knew I had to have this album. These guys are clear about their message and they sound good too!

Just sampled their tracks and they sound pretty good. I will buy the album now. Thanks Amazon for selling non-DRM MP3s!

I love this album so much. I don't even know where to begin. I would say just check it out and you wont be sorry
