Relient K - The Anatomy Of The Tongue In Cheek

I can best describe this album as Christian rock with a completely middle of the road sound. It's upbeat music with a moderately fast tempo and clean vocals. The guitars and drums do a solid but uninspiring job with soft chords often echoing across songs. The actual songs are a train wreck with the best ones being those about Christianity. While these songs never really stick, they at least seem like they’ve been written with some thought, unlike the abysmal Lion-O and May the Horse Be With You. Really, you’re all horses and love hay. Sigh…

6.0/10 – Even Jesus would question this purchase.

So it begins...

Many years ago, I went to gigs, bought albums and listened to new bands, now I listen to the same 3-4 bands all day long. My flat mate on the other hand… well just check out his rock/metal collection below.

Am I missing out on something? Is there wisdom in the lyrics? Do the guitar solos, drum beats and vocal screamings offer nourishment for the soul?

Well, probably not, but because I haven’t got that much on, I’ve decided to listen to and review (in less than 100 words) each and every album.

Let’s get this party started…
