Switchfoot,
Learning to Breathe (2000) -
"Musically it's inventive but accessible.
Lyrically it's brilliant yet more spiritually
satisfying than previous efforts. This is
the kind of album that makes you fall in love
with a band!"

Matthew West,
Something To Say (2008) -
"West's third album is anything but a
"buffet" of the same old stuff. It's a
storybook for every Christian's life."

Sanctus Real,
Say It Loud (2002) -
"It's very rare for a debut album to be so
influential in a thriving industry, but Say
It Loud was anything but medicore!"
|  |
|
 |
House of Heroes,
The End Is Not The End (2008) -
"I waited FOREVER for this album and now
that it's here... it exceeds every
expectation I ever had for a band. An album
that will be underrated no matter how much
hype it receives!"
|  |

 |
Shawn McDonald,
Simply Nothing (2004) -
"This debut feels more like a later release
because it doesn't give off the impression of
being thrown together."
|  |
|
 |
Jeremy Camp,
Stay (2002) -
"Displays strong musical tips of the hat to
the likes of Creed while still establishing a
unique vocality. Before this album, worship
was more pop oriented. It changed the face of
worship."
|  |
|
 |
Sixpence None The Richer,
Sixpence None The Richer (1997) -
"Took the world by storm with the hit single
"Kiss Me," but those who invested in this rare
gem discovered that it's more than just a pop
album... it's a record with songs that define
moments in our lives."
|  |
|
 |
Jars of Clay,
Much Afraid (1997) -
"In a genre of bible thumpers [as described
by non-believers], this record is subtle.
It's versatility makes it so memorable: it
can be listened to by the strong believer and
nonbeliever alike and adored by both!"
|  |
|
 |
DC Talk,
Jesus Freak (1995) -
" DC stands for "Decent Christian." Any
"decent Christian" has listened to this album
and perhaps, even been changed by its
straightforward lyrics."
|  |
|
 |
Deas Vail,
All The Houses Look The Same (2007) -
"What's not to love about a record that leaves
you pondering even after the disc has repeated
numerous times?"
|  |
|
 |
The Fray,
How To Save A Life (2005) -
"This band came out of nowhere and delivered
a remarkable album with tons of airplay on
Christian and non-Christian stations alike. I
STILL hear "Over My Head" on the radio and
it's been over three years since the song was
first released!"
|  |
|
 |
Shaun Groves,
Invitation to Eavesdrop (2001) -
"On this album, Groves displays great
interest in those moments where we find
ourselves between light and dark, a theme
that's captured throughout the entire record.
All Christians struggle between light and
dark, which makes this record so relatable
and noteworthy."

Brandon Heath,
Don't Get Comfortable (2006) -
"Heath's songwriting is above average. He
effortlessly transforms from intimately
oriented worship songs like "Our God Reigns"
to relational gems like "Simple Man." All of
the songs on the album are like hard to get
rid of clothes: well, comfortable."
|  |
|
 |
Lifehouse,
No Name Face (2000) -
"Singer-songwriter Jason Wade embodies
Lifehouse's vibe with a spiritual quality
that's never heavy-handed, delivering
unforgettable vocals with the authority of
experience... even though this is just the
band's debut album."
