Good music, good sound, just cloudy christian content.....

Ok, first of all I want to make clear I am not critizicing these guys, I am just saying that it's hard for me to find christian meanings in the words of their songs, and I really have nothing against the video for point #1 streaming on MTV (as a matter of fact if they are christian, then, hey, better yet), but I mean....if you've checked this reviews, you'll see that there's a lot of people who don't think or believe chevelle is a christian band, now, for people to say or think that, then (being sincerely), the christian content in the cd HAS to be cloudy (cause I mean, if you play 20 seconds of a Third Day track, for exaple, to somebody, they are gonna recognize , right away that they're christian) I have this cd, the music is really good, it sounds pretty much like Nirvana's punk hardcore style, i specially like DOS (my favorite), Mia, Point #1 and Sma. I am ok if this guys are really christian, but, if they're not, then why do they call themselves like that? and then why do they nominate themselves to a Dove Award (christian Grammys), Cause, really, if they're not christian, then I think these things would be wrong to do, because it will only show that they are trying to get both audiences (christian and secular) without really commiting to none of them, and that IS wrong, because it means that they are just trying to make a little extra money, like POD does(again I repeat, IF THEY'RE NOT CHRISTIAN). OR, maybe they are christian, but they are just still a little inmature, but they do wanna serve God (after all, they mention in the cd case their album as God's plan), that's the other posibility, anyways, I 'll be looking up for new Chevelle material. Musically recomended? Oh Yeah, if you like Punk Rock Music.

Good start

This CD only gets 4 stars because it is not as good as their sophomore effort, "Wonder What's Next". This CD just does not have the standout quality that their second album has. Their song writing is a little raw compared to their current sound. The unique mastermind Steve Albini, who also produced Nirvana's "In Utero", takes the reins on this album. His unique drum production is evident on Open/Point #1, the first track and the CD's best song. Chevelle fans will definitely want to pick this up.

Great band, Awesome album, Weird CD case...

Warning: you will be blown away! This CD surprised me alot.The first song I heard was "Prove to You" onradio.sonicnet's Christian rock station. I loved it! So I looked into it here at Amazon.com, and fell in love with it! Tracks 1,2,3,4,6,7,9,10,11 are my faves - yes, all but two! This CD is packed with great lyrics and awesome guitars. Pete Loeffler has a great voice as well. It gets better every time you listen to it. In fact, I've listened to it for a week straight - all day every day - and I'm not tired of it! If you like hard rock, and are in quest for clean, non-offensive lyrics, Point#1 is for you. I know a lot of people have been saying it sounds similar to Tool but why does that make them a bad group? So what if they sound alike? I suggest you take this CD for a spin, and see what the fuss is about. As for the CD case, it's the most backwards thing I've ever seen. The cover is on the back, upside down. So you have to turn the CD upside down, and then flip it over to open it.
