4.0 out of 5 stars
A Worthwhile Album, May 8, 2007
Krystal Meyer's second album is another quality effort. She has a beautiful voice that she uses in positive ways. Her songs are solid Christian pop/rock. She makes it clear that Christ is her focus. She does that while making very pleasing music.
There are several very good songs on this CD. One particular standout is, 'The Beauty of Grace'.
I would recommend this album. It is one that will be particularly good for teenage girls/young women.

Don't be fooled., May 30, 2007
The cover can be deceptive, but trust me, Krystal still ROCKS! The cover looks like the early Britney, but Krystal is far from that lost soul. Take a listen and check out her vids on Yahoo! You will not be disappointed, unless you miss one of her concerts this summer....

4.0 out of 5 stars
..., October 6, 2006
I didn't want to like this cd. After all, her prior album wasn't anything to write home about. It was actually rather terrible. No offence to her... but there is good female pop and there is bad female pop. And her first album, the self titled one, didn't sound like anything except a label finding a girl to try and catch the Kelly Clarkson craze wave. Which is understandable. That is what labels... particularly Christian lables... do.
I do have a soft spot for good female voices, pop or otherwise, which is why amid my quirky avant garde music I unabashadly sport albums by Sixpence None The Richer and the afore mentioned Kelly Clarkson. So when I recieved a pre-release of this album I stuck it in to see if she'd improved. I thought not.
But that is where preceptions come into play. Before I listened to the album I had been reading online that she was going more of an Underoath direction, which would create a much harder sounding album. And it would be more genre hopping to find an audience and cash in on a trend.
However, that first time I listened to it I didn't get anything close to Underoath. Which was a good thing from the point that the label wasn't totally using her as a puppet... but it did leave me a tad disoriented and chalked it up to the album not being good.
Well, I changed my tune several months later when the actual CD relesed and I decided on a whim, while bored at work, to listen to it again. I just put in on repeat and went about my business. About the third time through it hit me. This CD was actually very VERY good. Not quite perfection. Not anywhere near the best album of the year (looking at all genres, not pop)... but "Dying For A Heart" as an album is very well written and Krystal Meyers' voice is executed to a T.
I finally got totally sold on the album after deciding that if this was the newest Kelly Clarkson CD I would have been very happy. Nevermind the fact that riding the Clarkson wave was the label's intention when singing Krystal Meyers... this album is just very good. Recommended for fans of Clarkson and good pop music.
