Hearts of Saints
Self-Titled
Revolution Art
Grade – B-
I have listened to this CD over and over and while I like it, I have not been able to come up with anything singularly distinctive to say about it. The soundtrack has a decent amount of edge to it, but it has not really hooked me. Instead I find myself favoring just two or three tracks in particular – “Hello Grace,” “Breakdown,” and “Emmanuel.”
I like, “Emmanuel” for the lyrics and meaning it conveys. I think they express quite well how we sometimes have doubts about our faith, but that in the end God is with us.
In general the album balances on high-energy rock and intelligent lyrics, but without a strong hook. I feel like I must be missing something, but maybe it is just not my taste. Although a newcomer on a new label, the band is has a history as they formerly worked under the moniker of “Special D.”
