5.0 out of 5 stars
They keep getting better and better, February 13, 2008
Sanctus Real has become one of my favorite bands, and for good reason. They keep the focus on God in their songs but manage to churn out catchy and relevant songs free of cliches. Their last album, The Face of Love, was without a doubt one of the best albums of 2006, but some people missed more of the up-tempo power-pop songs of Fight the Tide and Say it Loud. We Need Each Other is the best of both worlds, with more musical variety than ever. They took a risk, but still managed to have an album with 10 dead-on tracks focusing on unity, relationships, human struggles, and worship. With We Need Each Other, Sanctus Real proves once again why they are one of the best bands in Christian Music, so if you haven't checked them out yet, you must!

Just blew me away., March 15, 2008
I never listened to Sanctus Real before Creation Fest 2006, and instantly I was hooked. I think I played "I'm Not Alright" about a thousand times that summer, then I finally got the cd. Nine months later, I see them in concert, and they actually give us a preview of their new album, by playing "We Need Each Other". Again, I found myself instantly hooked, and I preordered the cd. Once it arrived at my doorstep, I was up to my neck in homework, work, and yearbook deadlines, but at the end, an hour before I went to bed, I grabbed my MP3 player, and listned to the album, full way through, with no interruptions.
Holy crap, this was an amazing album. I found it so easy to relate to, it all made sense. There were times that I found myself forgetting to breathe because I was so entranced by the string of lyrics, and seemingly never-ending awesomeness.
I can't wait to, once again, see them in concert!
So, give it a chance. Go ahead, listen to it, buy it, and definitely feel free to fall in love with it. : )

Not my favorite Sanctus Real album..., June 18, 2008
I absolutely love Sanctus Real, but when I got their new cd, "We Need Each Other", I was extremely dissapointed. The songs were much lighter and softer, and the lyrics seemed forced and not as deep as their previous albums. I've always loved the bold, clean, catchy guitar riffs of Sanctus Real - you know, the kind that make you want to bang your head and play your air guitar; however, I found none of this in their latest album. It's not bad music, just not the Sanctus Real I've come to know and love. I guess I'll just stick with their older albums and hope Sanctus Real returns to their roots with the next album.
