Relient K Album: “Relient K”

I've been a fan of Relient K ever since this album, but I'm reminded that this IS their debut CD. It's hard not to do, but you can't really compare this CD to Two Lefts or Mmmhmm because the band has evidently (and naturally) grown and matured as a band. While it's not their "best" album, I'd say that, for a debut album, it holds up nicely. I reccommend anything by these guys, especially Mmmhmm!!

I became a fana of Relient K after buying "The Anatomy of The Tounge in Cheek" and just recently purchased their first album. This album has some really solid songs such as "Hello McFly", "Charles in Charge", and "Balloon Ride". However, the song this album is most famous for, "My Girlfriend", is okay, but not close to the best on the album. And while I will still say that "Anatomy..." is a better album all together, I'm not kidding when I say that "17 Magazine" may be the greatest song by a Christian punk band... ever. Overall, a good CD from a good band that can create some catchy riffs and excellent harmonies.

This CD is one of the best I've heard in a while. Matt's vocals sound kinda like a mix of Blink 182's Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus. The guitar riffs and harmonics are very similar to Blink and the drumming is awesome. If you are a fan of good pop-punk you will love this album. The only reason this band will never be as popular as Blink is simply because they are a Christian band, and Christian bands don't get enough pub. This band has some crossover potential however, with tunes like "When You're Around", "Hello McFly", and "Charles in Charge". Look out for this band, cause they rock!

Listening to this album is definitley a balloon ride. I not only enjoyed the great guitar work, drum work, harmonizing vocals, etc. but the lyrics were what put this album over the top. This isn't too thought provoking but it's enough to make you smile everytime you think about the grace of God and how He is there through the good and bad times. The fun songs are great fun as well. Yeah, it's on the harder edge of music, but even my R&B sisters got hooked on the lyrics after a listen. Good job guys. And kudos once again to Gotee for producing YET ANOTHER great band. But as always, to God be the glory!

this cd is amazing and i am so glad i have it. i love blink182 because i had not found a good christian band, but now that i found relient K i love them more than blink182.
