Plankeye's "The Spark" is a masterpiece. It is not just for Christian Contemporary listeners--it is for everybody, and yes, it is sure to inspire many. Steve Stilletta is a great singer/songwriter, whose vocals are always captivating, and whose material always inspires. There are hints of influences of other, mainstream bands, such as Pearl Jam, but the performance is all their own. From the irresistable "It's A Beautiful Day Jerome," the anthemic "Open House," the acoustic ballad "Three-Fold Chord," "Drive," "Boy," and the ska-flavored "Wings To Fly," the album is a must own. My favorite cut (if I have to choose just one!) would have to be "Open House."

I just recently bought plankeye at Heartdance and I can't seem to get it out of my cd player. It is great to be able to listen to music that is not damaging to ones inner soul. God loves a joyful noise. I give it a perfect 10.

Plankeye's breakout album is full good-old guitar driven power pop. They could be compared to Weezer at times, yet with moodier melodies and deeper, more thought-provoking lyrics. All in all, this is an album for anyone who enjoys post-grunge, Beatle-influence, bluesy power pop with a little bit of pep on the side.

This is one of the fist Christian CD's i bought back in 95. The nostalgia that this album provides is sharp and strong. I loved driving around town with the windows down listening Scott wail and croon over driving guitar.

My main complaint with the album has nothing to do with Plankeye...it has to do with the cheesy christian music reviews that compared them to Pearl Jam. Come on! These guys aren't in the same zip code as Pearl Jam! They're not really even the same style. But i digress.

Plankeye is good, driving guitar rock. This album remains my favorite because it feels like it's from their gut. Add this to your mid 90's collection...you won't be disapointed.

I remember a time in my young life where I thought Christian Music was hymns and old gospel songs. I was in our local Christian Book store one day with my mom and I saw they had a music section that sparked my curiosity. I saw there was an alternative section and thought to myself, this is Christian Music? Plankeye's cover inspired me to pick it up and listen to the demo. I picked up a copy and bought it. This album is amazing and guitar driven. Great rock. Perfect Day Jerome is a great song to listen to with the windows down on a nice sunny day...Enjoy!

Plankeye's Spark album is awesome. All fans of rock n roll will can't help but fall in love with this CD. There aren't enough stars to show how terrific the album actually is.
