I did love the amy grant duet... but other than that... thumbs down 48 out of 98 visitors found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? My 11-year-old son and I listen to Air One radio. He loves the song "Friend Like That" and was delighted to receive this special edition with DVD and board game! 119 out of 248 visitors found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? I'm fairly critical of pop-punk. There's just so much of it out there, so it has to be done right. There hasn't been much room for middle ground with this genre in the past, but increased exposure opens those doors a little. Well, I've been on a little pop-punk kick lately, with bands like Relient K, Stellar Kart, Yellowcard, and MEST getting some extra time on my iPod. So I feel like I have enough to compare this record to, and give it a fair shake. A lot of the Christian "pop-punk" bands are trying to ease their way into the mainstream, knowing that the cash cow of pop-punk is clearly on its way out soon. Usually, if I read a sentence like that in a review, that would be where I check out. I was once one of "those guys" who couldn't accept a band that turned the dials down on their guitar amps to appeal to a larger audience. Well, with this record, it doesn't matter what side of that fence you're on, because it's simply a good record. It's not as fast-paced as, say, Relient K's older stuff, nor is it as good. Honestly, that shouldn't be a surprise; after all, Relient K's "Mmhmm" set the bar for what a pop-punk record should be. But this record has some addicting melodies, it packs a great message, and it's just fun. It draws a little from the older and newer schools of pop-punk, reminding me of Face to Face at times, and MEST or Sum 41 in others. There are some nice guitar riffs that'll get stuck in your head, too, though they are more rock-oriented. If you get the deluxe edition, the acoustic version of "One Little Miracle" is a pleasant surprise. I haven't been an Amy Grant fan since "Unguarded" (Kudos if you even remember that album), but her vocals on the track really compliment it well. I can appreciate fun music. That's really what pop-punk's role is for me. It's bright, poppy, and full of hooks. I'm trying to avoid the use of the word "catchy" here, because I think the term is a bit overused. But it does apply here. If you have a soft spot for this genre, you wont go wrong with this one. But it isn't entirely reserved for pop-punk diehards. 180 out of 326 visitors found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? This cd was for my daughters, they love Hawk Nelson. And I have to say I really enjoy their music. To me it sounds like a nice blend of contemporary and alternative. It is a great cd 139 out of 278 visitors found this review helpful. Did you find this review helpful? Like at first I didnt like any of the songs because I didnt know them but now that I have listened to it for a long time now I really love them. The first time I ever heard of Hawk Nelson was at DAre to Share and after that I really wanted it so I got it. Now I cant stop listening to it. 304 out of 614 visitors found this review helpful.
