Hey gang, Lockedawg back with another music review. This time I have two to (yes, I did just say tu-tu) talk about. I will review them in separate posts.
The first is by a band that has been on my radar for a few years. I never liked what I heard enough to by an album from them...Thousand Foot Krutch. Yeah, they have had some okay songs, but like I said, nothing that grabbed me. Then I was in the car with my son (he just turned 10...yikes!!!!!) and the song "Fire It Up" came on. Then from the back seat I hear, "Woh...this is sweet". I think that sums up TFK's (I am a fan now, I can call them that!) new album, "Welcome to the Masquerade"!
TFK released two singles from "Welcome to the Masquerade" this summer (as did Skillet) and like Skillet's, the singles were awesome. "Fire It Up" was already discussed my my son, the second single was "Bring Me to Life". This time I am the one who said it, "This is sweet!" At this point, I started getting excited for the album to come out. Skillet has two awesome singles, TFK has two great singles...man, I can't wait for the albums!
Skillet's came out first, my review is below (to be honest, Awake is growing on me, there are only two songs that I skip...I'll talk more later)in short, the two singles are the best songs on the album. At this point, I was very skeptical about TFK's newest...not wanting to be disappointed again!
After hearing "Welcome to the Masquerade", my fear quickly disappeared! "Welcome to the Masquerade" is everything that I was hoping from "Awake". "Welcome to the Masquerade" is a great album, from beginning to end!
The lyrics are very upbeat...a very in your face..."Yeah, we are Christians and or God is better than anything...period" feel. I like that. My God does rock, in fact He is THE Rock! "Welcome to the Masquerade" basically says, "We as Christians need to stop hiding and live for Him!" "Fire It Up", "Bring Me To Life", "Smackdown" need I say more!? Awesome...I am now a TFK fan!
Until next time...
