I admit, I am addicted to 38th Parallel. Even though they sound alot like Linkin Park, I think once you really listen to it, 38th Parallel has a much deeper, somewhat more complicated sound with many levels, with harmonies and keys that do not usually exist in your typical rock stuff.
All the songs are awesome, and after 2 weeks of listening to only this CD, I have not gotten tired of any of them. If I had to pick favorites, they would have to be "You Are My God", "Horizon", and "Clouded".
I predict many great things to come for this awesome band. It doesn't hurt any that they are all from a small Iowa town, just like me.

This whole album rocks!!! If you are looking for a Linkin Park sound in the Christian scene here it is. From insane vocals to hard core adrenaline pumping sound comes a band that created an album you will always have with you. Like no other band in the Christian scene and will never be again since they split after this production. Pick it up, crank it up and prepare for your heart to start pumpin'.

I had never explored new age before. For me it had just materialized, though it'd probably been around for long before that. This time was difficult for me, errant partner, 2 kids to manage, I was carrying it ALL. I finally sent him packing, and learned how to disconnect. This album I found at the local library-"Hmm...never heard of 'em". I was hooked with the opening clip-clop of horses hooves along with the music. It blew my mind. Then the songs that followed let me unwind like a ribbon that had been held tightly to the roll and was finally released. It has haunted me some 20 years later and I have sought this album several times without success as I could not remember the name of the album. Was pretty sure of the artist, but couldn't find it on iTunes-what a surprise. Thank you Wikipedia. I saw the album cover and it was like THERE IT IS!!! Overjoyed.

38th Parallel's "Turn the Tides" is, in all honesty, one of my favorite albums of all time. Though it is only ten concise songs, the members of 38th Parallel have proven that they are unbelievable lyricists and quite skillful musicians. I love the style in which the album is delivered, as well as how vocalists Mark Jennings and Nathan Rippke complement each other. Here is a breakdown of the tracks.
1. Hear My Cry = 8.3/10 - I was never really a fan of this one, I thought it was a rather unsatisfactory opener. There is some impressive harmonic singing in the chorus, and a powerful delivery in the verses. However, "Hear My Cry" never really did it for me.
2. Turn the Tides = 9.9/10 - Perhaps my third favorite song of all time. "Turn the Tides" is a fast-paced rap-induced track after which the album is named, and with good reason. The dual vocalists play off each other wonderfully during the verse, then proceed into a similar chorus, which impresses me more each time. The bridge introduces a beautiful but brief appearance of a violin. This song is by far my favorite on the CD, and amazes me each time I hear it.
3. Higher Ground = 8.9/10 - Great mix of acoustic and electric guitars in this song, which proves to be one of the softer songs of "Turn the Tides". Both vocalists harmonize in a comforting and uplifting chorus. A great song to listen to anytime.
4. Clouded = 9.7/10 - "Clouded" holds a place as my second favorite song on the album, as its gentle verse leads into a remarkable chorus, which is very relatable. I love the sound of the bridge as well. I can't help speaking softly with Nathan Rippke during the verse of "Clouded", which displays some of the brilliant lyrics featured in this CD.
5. Who Am I = 8.3/10 - I don't really enjoy this one too much. It's a hip-hop song that resonates throughout the whole track. It just doesn't do much for me, except for the lyrics.
6. Horizon = 8.8 - This was the single off "Turn the Tides", and with good reason. As the band declares, it captures what 38th Parallel is about, as it contains soft melodic singing, as well as a driving rap pre-chorus, and a harmonic and catchy chorus. Like "Higher Ground", it can be listened to in any mood.
7. State of Mind = 9.6/10 - This is one of my favorite tracks, as it opens with a very soothing guitar pattern and a verse of both vocalists playing off each other, as they do so well. This song's bridge is one of my favorite of all time, with the wonderful violin coinciding with guitars, also done by the band Skillet in their song "Collide".
8. You Are My God = 9.6/10 - This is a beautiful ballad of praise toward God. It is incredibly soothing, relaxing, and comforting to listen to, as the soft singing resonates over heavy guitars. The bridge introduces some aggression to chorus, as Nathan Rippke cries "Show me now" between each measure.
9. Wither = 9.4/10 - "Wither" provides listeners with perhaps the greatest display of the passionate, brilliant lyrics of 38th Parallel, as the bridge contains a mumbling rap about of friend of the band who has been taken by AIDS. This song is brilliantly done, and I love to listen to the powerful chorus.
10. Three Times Denied = 9.2/10 - A great closing to a sensational last four songs of "Turn the Tides". This proves to be the heaviest song on the CD, as the two vocalists combine to make it a heartfelt and emotional anthem, especially during the intense and driving chorus.

this cd is a good rap-metal assault, they are similaritys with bands like pillar(above era's) and linkin park (hibrid... and meteora) and P.O.D they sounds a bit commercial but is a good band
