5.0 out of 5 stars This is how good pop/rock should sound., November 25, 2000

Smalltown Poets are a good pop/rock band. This debut CD proves that fact without any doubts. If you like good melodies, energetic instruments, and sing-a-long lyrics, then you will absolutely love this CD.

It is good to encounter yet another band unashamed of their faith in God. They are willing to stand up for their devotion to Jesus in public. The song "Prophet, Priest, and King" is a witty introduction on this CD that helps foster the importance of our relationship with God. The remaining 10 songs carry similar themes that help shape our thoughts and redirect them back to God.

This is also an enhanced CD. There are a couple of videos you can watch on your computer. I was impressed with them too. Much like the band itself, none of the videos are fancy. It is this stripped-down and honest approach that helps set a "we are for real" atmosphere that makes you want to trust these guys. In the videos, it is fun watching the band on stage or behind the scenes as they travel and prepare for concerts.

This is really a fun CD from start to finish. Enjoy!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Few Great Songs on a Good CD, October 2, 2000

This is a great CD to listen to all the way through. The sounds are diverse all the way through. The lyrics deserve 5 stars all the way through. They are full of life experience, and passion. My favorite songs are "Prophet, Priest and King", "If You'll Let Me Love You", and "Trust". Unfortunately my least favorite song "Monkey's Paw" would really make a great poem. The lyrics are great, but I believe the music leaves something to be desired. If you like Jars of Clay, or Jennifer Knapp, you'll probably like these guys. Give them a shot, listen to it all the way through first.

Smalltown Poets is one of the most underrated bands in the Christian/Pop Genre. I love their music. This album starts off strong with "Prophet, Priest, and King" and keeps on going from there. There are a couple of filler songs on this album but overall it is great. This cd comes with some great bonus features that you can access by putting it into your computer. If you like this album check out Big Tent Revival's album "Amplifier."
