Editorial Reviews
Now with its self-titled debut album coming through Atlantic Records via Hear It Loud, a partnership helmed by Cooper, Kelm and attorney Todd Rubenstein, We As Human arrives at a familiar place: a high-stakes future that's both exciting and exacting. But if this collection of songs offers any indication, Cordle and his bandmates have delivered one of the most bracing song collections in recent memory. Renowned rock producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Skillet) gives laser focus to We As Human's massive, juggernaut sound, which recalls the likes of Linkin Park and Avenged Sevenfold.

Ked about going out that summer on a non secular tour and they were bringing We as Human. Right then I wondered what I missed, the next day I down loaded the album and that was over 2 yrs ago and have been rocking to it ever since. They have such a great sound and dispute those who say they are not being more forthright in their faith on this album I think they are missing the beauty of it. I hear it in every song but to a non be liver they may miss it but they are still getting the message and that's what they have been called to do.
Not one song on this album is a let-down. They have a great mixture of edge, melody, and harmony, soft and hard tracks to make a hit album. Lacy Sturm's appearance (man can she scream!) on "Take the Bullets Away" is a hit that can't be missed.
If you're downloading the MP3 album and you're new to these guys, then I would suggest downloading "Living Lies" and "Double Life" off the EP as well as "Fly" from the Navy Seals Tribute compilation (my favorite We As Human track) to add onto any CD you may write them to. Again, this band has enough material that they should have had a longer album, but hopefully, they will have more to come soon.
The album leads off with their first previewed track, Strike Back, a lyrically simple, yet solidly strong song that I love to crank up and repeat. Next up is Dead Man, the band's third iteration of the song. Like the previous two versions, it does not disappoint and is still a fantastic song. I honestly do not know which one I like more because they all sound great. Bring To Life is where the album takes a small misstep, but it's not that bad of a song; it may grow on me over time. Let Me Drown definitely misses the mark and was my first disliked track. Zombie and We Fall Apart are both great songs that WAH can be proud of. Take the Bullets Away is a powerful song, but Lacey Sturm's contribution on the first verse is iffy. However, her vocals in the chorus are phenomenal. Taking Life is more of a mainstream track and sounds nothing like what I have come to know as WAH, making it my most disliked song on the album. Sever, one of my most beloved WAH songs, comes with a slightly different sound than on the EP. Once I reached the chorus, I realized that the strong, deep tone from the first version has been replaced with a slightly higher pitched version that takes away from an otherwise amazing song. I definitely prefer the EP version, but some may like the change. Last but not least is I Stand. This one is both a hit and a miss for me. While it is a great song, the original lyrics have changed from what many of us have come to know and sing. Gone are direct mentions of God and Jesus, and the dissing of evolution, instead we have mentions to the One, He and Your and no mention of evolution at all. I always felt the two evolution lines were silly to include, but replacing God and Jesus was a little disappointing.
That's my review and I'm sticking to it. As their first true debut album, this a great start and I am looking forward to more. While I did get a free copy for supporting their Kickstarter campaign, I am furthering my support by buying another copy to give to a friend. Rock on We As Human, I will continue to support your growth. Should you guys run another fundraiser, consider me ready to help.
Some additional info for anyone that cares. I got a chance to speak with Justin Cordle, the lead singer, while they were touring in Houston with Red. If the album sells enough, a deluxe edition will be released that contains (I believe) three more tracks, but I did not get a time frame on when that could happen. Deluxe editions are becoming a growing trend, much to my chagrin (booo, hisss, just release them all!). Concerning Dead Man, Cordle said that some of the guys liked the Burning Satellites EP version, while others enjoyed the We As Human EP version, so they decided to work on a third version that kind of meshed the two. For Sever, they could not use the EP version since it was recorded in a different studio, but he said it was pretty much the same song. What he failed to mentioned was the higher tone in the chorus, which I am no fan of. Cordle has strong vocals and the new version kind of takes away from it. At the concert, they played the EP versions of Dead Man and Sever, and used the original lyrics for I Stand.
* Side note: technically they released a full length album in 2006, titled Until We're Dead . It lacks the polish and quality of their more recent work and could go through the rewrite treatment that Dead Man has gone through. This album, We As Human, is their first major studio release.
When I tripped across We As Human I was impressed by the samples that they had. It excited me that this was a Christian CD with rocking tunes like this. The lyrics are powerful, the music is pounding and there is nothing missing from the entire work.
I will keep my eyes on the horizon for more works by this group. WOW! Keep it coming!

ottimo il bilanciamento tra le parti più pesanti e quelle rock.
si ascolta piacevolmente per tutta la durata.
la spedizione è avvenuta in circa due settimane, un tempo accettabile direi.
Geile Musik, tolle Ohrwürmer!!!
Bring to life ( Beste Lied, mega Ohrwurm ) Zombie, Taking life, Sever....... um nur mal einige Tracks zu nennen die Spitze sind!
Album überzeugt auf ganzer Linie! Hoffe es kommt bald mehr.
Für alle die auf Skillet, Three days grace, Evans blue, Thousand foot krutch, Nine Lashes, Breaking Benjamin stehen, wird auch dieses Album gefallen!
Top!!!
待ちに待ち望んでいたアルバムがついに発売されました
We As Humanはアメリカはアイダホ出身、テネシー州のナッシュビルなどでも活動を行っているバンド
同じテネシー州ナッシュビルを拠点とするREDやDiscipleと同様に彼らもクリスチャンバンドです
制作したEPがSkilletのフロントまんであるJohn Cooperにわたり、彼らの楽曲に感銘を受けた
johnによってAtlantic Recordに紹介され、メジャーデビューへとこぎつけました
メジャーデビューという意味では新人ですがインディース時代の2006年にすでに
1枚アルバムを出しておりそのあともBurning SatellitesというEPをリリースしてますが、
こちらはどちらも今は入手が難しくなっています(iTunesにもないと言う…(泣))
肝心の楽曲に関しては、リードトラックでありリードシングルでもあるStrike Backが
海外のクリスチャンロックのチャート上位に食い込むことからもうかがえる通り、
新人とは思い難いほどの魅力ある曲に富んでいます
かなり厚みのあるボーカルが、ヘヴィなギターリフとドラムと共鳴して
聴きごたえのあるモダンロックサウンドを奏でています
Strike BackやZombieのような攻撃的で力強いメロディーもあれば
We Fall ApartやLet Me Drownのように落ち着きを持ちつつもクリスチャンロックらしい
叙情性を感じられる温かみのあるメロディも奏でる事ができる実力を持っています
そして5曲目のZombieにはSkilletのJohn Cooper、
7曲目のTake The Bullets AwayにはFlyleafのLacey Sturmがゲストボーカルで参加しています
ZombieではBパートに当たる部分をJohnが歌っています
Take The Bullets Awayは全編にわたってLaceyのボーカルが効果的に挿入されていて
Laceyの印象的なシャウトも聴くことができる曲となっています
またDead ManとSeverは以前にリリースされたEPから再度収録となっています
ただ聴き分けると音が明らかに違うので今回収録のものはアルバム用にレコーディングし直されたもののようです
全10曲と、アルバムとしてはコンパクトな収録内容ですが、
新進気鋭のバンドWe As Humanの魅力がこれでもかと凝縮された内容となっています
上であげたREDやDiscipleはもちろん、モダンなヘヴィロックが好きな方には大変オススメなアーティストです
せっかくのメジャーデビューですしこれを気に一度でも聴いてみてはいかがでしょうか?
絶対に損はしないと思いますよ。
