Shaun Groves returns with his second CD, and it's just as great as the first. Stylistically, it's less rock and more adult contemporary then his last one, but I enjoy that style of music more. Having said that, one of my favorites is "I Love You," the fastest song on the disc.

Thematically, he's once again covering every base, but with the same honesty that appeared in his first CD. "Need You More" is a perfect example, as he sings about his need of God above everything else. Obviously, "To Be Honest" also falls into this category. This powerful ballad is a confession and a struggle with the life he lives as a Christian artist. He also sings of his desire to be what God wants him to be in "Blank Page" and "Twilight."

There are also some songs of praise on the disc. Probably my favorite of these is "One of Those Days," a simple song of praise for those days when everything is going right. Continuing the Rocketown tradition of putting Christmas themed songs on regular CD's is "God of Us." And the disc concludes with a live version of "Here I Am," a prayer of dedication in response to what God has done for us. I'm sure it'll be sung in churches for years to come.

All told, this is a strong sophomore release. I know I'll be spinning it for quite some time.

Shaun Groves new CD, Twilight, is incredible. I have not taken it out of my CD player since I bought it. Not only are the melodies wonderful, but the lyrics are so meaningful. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys moving, powerful music. Buy several...you will want to give this one to everyone you know!!

Some people are stupid (i.e. - the guy who gave this album a 2) this album is great. Shaun really opens up in this album and shares what is on his heart. Sones like "Jesus" are very true and need to be listend to to APPLY the Gospel to life. these aren't just feel good about God songs, but will motivate us to LIVE the love of Christ.
I saw Shaun Groves in concert about 2 weeks ago with Ginny Owens and Shane and Shane here in Auburn, Alabama, and he's a REALLY funny guy. it was amazing how funny and insparational he is at the same time.
Get this album, cuz it's great. God is using Shaun Groves.

This album is just as good if not better than his debut. Again great songs with great lyrics. I really like the songs "twilight" and "Jesus." Again a must have for fans of great music. Very honest well written lyrics that really make you think.

I just about wore out Invitation to Eavesdrop and was thrilled when Shaun's 2nd cd came out. The first time I listened to it I thought it was OK, but each time I listen to it I love it more and more. Now I am listening to it all the time, and loving every song!

With the song "See You" being in the leadoff spot on this c.d. you think that your in for what you had on "Invitation To Eavesdrop": A wonderful mix of Steven Curtis Chapman style groove songs and some wonderful ballads. This just wasn't the case. While "See You" is a hilight on this c.d., everything else just takes a nose dive after "Blank Page", which is a great song also. Both of these songs are worthy of being on Shaun's "Invitation" c.d. I think what Shaun did was just put way too much emphasis on sappy ballads and the remaining two uptempo songs were just too cliched to really get into. I hate to say it, but I think Shaun got hit by the Sophmore jinx on this one. Hopefully this one will do good for Shaun's sake, but I also hope that when he makes a third c.d., he'll make more songs in the style of "Damage Done", "Should I Tell Them?", and "Move Me"

I liked SG's first CD so much I went out and bought this one sight unseen (ear-unheard?). I disliked the slower ballad songs from the first CD and was hoping he would have at least an equal mix on the new one. No way. It was full of slow and boring ballads. Shaun, go back to your roots! Songs like "Should I Tell Them", "After the Music Fades", "Satellite", "Move Me", and "Damage Done" were what made you semi-famous so fast in the first place. Why didn't you follow that same formula for success in your new album? Leave slow ballads to Jars of Clay, as you really aren't that good at the slow stuff (sorry guy!) and keep making the semi-heavy metal type songs with awesome lyrics found in your first album, that you are SOOOO good at. I'm so dissapointed... In fact, I think I'll go sell it on ebay or something. I should have sampled the songs or downloaded them via K---- first prior to purchasing it. What a waste. Sorry man.
