This Disgusts/Sickens Me
So I'm doing some research to see what new CD's I'm going to buy, and I'm running across the same problem over and over again.
No one is willing to stand up and say from the go, "HEY! I DO THIS FOR THE SAKE OF CHRIST! HE OFFERS EVERYTHING TO YOU, AND WANTS TO LOVE YOU!"
How many Christian bands are out there that are willing to give up even just one paragraph on their main website to clarify what they are speaking about. Ambigious lyrics mean nothing to a person who does not know Christ. If someone can listen to the entire album and not figure out that you are WITHOUT A DOUBT, speaking about God and your reltionship with his son, then something went wrong.
Bands who's CD's I will not be buying:
Kids in the Way
Thousand Foot Krutch (not putting it on YOUR website is not saying it, you had to have someone else say it for you, this one upsets me)
Switchfoot (it was good while it lasted)
POD (never really listened to them anyway)
Emery (maybe I just misunderstood you from the beginning)
Hawk Nelson (I was really hopeful about these guys)
Slingshot 57 (sounds nice, but not yet)
Demon Hunter (I hope this changes before October when they drop a new Album)
Grits (Love the music, but I''m spending my hard earned money on it until you say it)
Bands Who's CD's I want to Buy:
Stellar Kart
FM Static (which is strange since it's lead singer is the same guy from Thousand Foot Krutch)
Big Dismal
Bands I'm still not sure about:
Everyday Sunday
I was so hopeful about a lot of those bands. And now I'm not sure what to do about the CD's that I already own from those on the "do not buy" list.
For those wondering why I'm even stating this, here's my viewpoint. You cannot call yourself a Christian band if the music is not glorifying God's Name. If you are not praising God, or singing of his goodness (and you can't leave it open to interpretation about what you're singing about), then you are a band comprised of Christians, not a Christian band.
I'm fearful for Relient K. They seem to be heading in the wrong direction.
I know not everybody agrees with me, so I'm open to your opinions.
