It's Time To Stretch A Bit | Posted December 26, 2011
The boys have delivered another fun and enjoyable set but continue to disappoint lyrically. Not only is there a lack of spiritual, well, anything here, songs about fighting, going broke, making up funny dance moves, and breaking necks looking at girls, make it tough to really enjoy. I found myself loving the arrangements, programming and music and getting completely frustrated at the lyrics. These guys have the faith. They talk about it all the time in interviews and concerts, but after three albums, it's time to put the foam fists down (and that's coming from a huge fan of the fists) and embrace some heavier topics. If not, stop headlining Creation Festival and focus more on Warped Tour and chase that mainstream gig full time. Either way, they have the talent to continue to be great. I'm just wanting them to embrace their faith a bit more.
