Needtobreathe takes it down a notch....
Created: 12/10/08
For some reason these guys pretty much flopped their sophmore release. Their Alternative guitar/piano heavy style that reigned on Daylight (their first release) is not as strong, especially guitar wise. I am not against all blues, folk music but on The Heat, it's pretty cold. The 14 tracks all seem to similar to each other and the harmonica injections are too cliche. Also the vocals are a wee bit too over done, the singer's voice sounds alot better when he sings strongly instead of "breathly". So buy this if it's cheap, but don't expect to enjoy it quite as much as their first album.

Excellent CD
Created: 05/05/08
You know how you get a cd for one particular song and that is the only good song on the cd? Well that is not the case with this cd. The whole cd is really good.
I heard 2 of their songs on a Christian radio station. Love the lead singers voice, he sounds like the singer in "red hot chili peppers". Great songs,great lyrics. Very parent friendly if you want your kids to listen to "cool" music with appropriate language, and lyrics, this is a great CD. 1 song is truly "Christian", the rest are just great!!
Love the CD, highly recommend!!

Unique Worship Music
Created: 08/08/09
Needtobreathe has successfully mixed acoustic blues with soul, and added a rock rhythms to create their very unique Worship style. Every song is a powerfufl Worship song that parents can allow the youngsters to listen to without any worry.
A couple of the songs have hit mainstream Christian radio, but every track is "radio-worthy", in my opinion. The tunes and percussion are catchy and the lyrics definitely tell the Message.
This is a CD that is on my "heavy rotation" in my car. I listen to it as much as Jars, Third Day and Newsboys.

Great Album by Needtobreathe
Created: 03/08/09
I absolutely love this album by Needtobreathe. I had known of them before, but when I really came to love them was when I saw them at a concert at the House of Blues in Chicago with David Cook. They were absolutely phenomenal live, and this album was a must have for me. I love the bluesy voice of the lead singer, and I would recommend this Cd to ANYONE!

My first Christian Rock CD!
Created: 02/07/08
For someone who has never listened to Christian rock and was worried that this CD would not appeal to her, I've got to admit I love this CD! It's excellent, not preaching, very uplifting music. I bought it because of the song that was in the movie PS I Love You, and I am not disappointed.
