PILLAR...YOU ARE CAPABLE OF SO MUCH MORE!, September 23, 2009
I am a longtime Pillar Fan. I became a Christian in 2000 and found their first album Above and it really helped me understand that Christian Music wasn't just lame. It could rock, and I needed it to at that time of my life. Since then Pillar has been through a few transformations, and a few albums. Their strongest album to date in my opinion, one that I can put in and just never get tired of, is their First album with Lester on the drums, "Where Do We Go From Here". It is quickly apparrant that they figured it out quickly. That album is truly AMAZING. It showed Noah really letting go and just tearing it up and this was Lester's first time in the Studio. Pillar is an amazing band. Don't get me wrong, I am not upset about this release. It is a good disc. I just don't believe it is their strongest album. I like "Secrets and Regrets", "Better off Now", "Will you be there" and "Lose it All". However, the first track on the album is one of the worst Pillar tracks yet. It starts off terrible, and goes from bad to worse. It is a simple riff, with just a terrible sound. It is just noisy, with nothing really there as substance. Especially when the Chorus comes in. Then they did a cover of Collective Soul's "Shine". Why?? That is the worst cover they have done.
All in all, the album is a decent one, but one where the harder rock tunes don't do so well, and the ballads shine. I am a hardcore Pillar fan and I will support them, until they start playing tunes that sound like Insane Clown Posse. Then I am out. I hold high hopes for the second album from this new foursome.

Incredible! Beats For The Love Of The Game Anyday!, November 10, 2009
Awesome CD! As the title says, it beats For The Love Of The Game hands down. This album is more original yet still sticks within the limits of not being crazy. Given, I am a huge fan of bands like Before Their Eyes, Haste the Day, Stutterfly, Far-less and other harder/screamo type bands, but this CD is actually a good CD! Not that those other bands aren't good, but this CD has great balance and my parents will even want to listen to it! (this is not Lorna, it's her son) This CD has a couple of great guitar solos, enough to show off Noah's talents, but not too many so that you scream "Get on in the song already!"
I have been a fan of pillar since my brother brought home a CD. He didn't like them, but I LOVED them. So I found the old version of Fireproof, (much better in my opinion, then the re-release) and bought it off this site. I now have every Pillar CD! These guys are incredible and have done it yet again. They hit you hard with their music without making you want to jump out of your window and the lyrics are also inspirational and incredible.

Good, November 5, 2009
The new Pillar album is great! The lyrics are inspirational and make you think, while the music totally rocks! Great for fans of TFK, Skillet, and Red! I'm looking forward to another great album by them in the future!
