“We Need Each Other is more than just the band’s best release; it is one of the most melodic Christian pop albums to come along in quite some time…The stunning production and the band’s flawless performance permeate this release from start to finish.” – CCM Magazine (February ’08 lead review).

“From the rocking riffs in the opener Turn on the Lights, to the worshipful lyrics in Sing, Sanctus Real shows the range and reflection of a band that is maturing as songwriters.” – McClatchy-Tribune Information Services

“Sanctus Real has the incredible capability of improving their skills, refining their sound, and breaking new ground with each record and We Need Each Other is no exception. This is one disc any music fan won't want to miss!” – JesusFreakHideout.com

“We Need Each Other is easily Sanctus Real's best, thanks to high-energy rock anthems that'll also get listeners thinking…From the beginning blues riffs of ‘Turn on the Lights’ to the guitar-fueled power anthem ‘Sing,’ We Need Each Other is…jam-packed with enough hooks to seep deep into your cerebrum for weeks.” – ChristianMusicToday.com

“…chock full of hooks, riffs, and again, spotless production…We Need Each Other shows a band continuing to grow into a potent legacy of its own.” – CMCentral.com

“…a definite maturation in song-writing and recording, it is definitely one you will not want to miss!” – writes MusicFaith.com in a 10 out 10 review.

“We Need Each Other is a wonderful addition to Sanctus Real’s growing body of fabulous work and will no doubt be a highlight of 2008.” – CMSpin.com

“Not only is the project an amazing leap forward musically (it hits you right out of the box how much they've grown since 2006's The Face Of Love), the entire album encompasses a message the band has modeled for years, both in their music and in their own lives: unselfish, compassionate love for their fellow man.” – Beliefnet.com

We Need Each Other follows Sanctus Real’s most successful album to date, The Face of Love, which gathered numerous accolades and continued a string of radio hits, including the No. 1 songs, “I’m Not Alright” and “Don’t Give Up.” While The Face of Love was inspired by real-life heartache and rediscovered joy, the band’s fourth studio release, We Need Each Other, marks a completion of that healing process and is a call for unity.

Following today’s album release, Sanctus Real prepares to hit the road playing the new songs, as well as fan favorites spanning it’s four acclaimed national studio releases, including a major market tour with Third Day that begins March 6 in Charleston, SC.
