Summary: Great CD
Comment: This CD picks up where Sound of Melodies left off. It has alot of good tunes with great Christ honoring lyrics. It does though, have tunes similar to the last release, but that is their style.
Customer Rating:
Summary: amazing lyricist.
Comment: I love this cd. I saw them in concert at Harvest in Philadelphia a couple weeks ago and was instantly hooked. Their lyrics are deep and meaningful. They don't sing about fluff like so many Christian artists do. They are clearly a Christian band who isn't afraid to use the name "Jesus" within their songs.
The song opposite way is definitley one of my favorites. It applies to those who are unsaved AND to Christians who still need to run the opposite way and have one foot in the church and one foot in the world. ultimately, Christ calls for all of us to run the opposite way.
Leeland, the main singer, has a great vocal range and when he sings you can tell he means what He is singing. He has passion and an anointing. I truly would recommend this cd and band to anyone. Their sound is just right.

Summary: just loved this CD
Comment: I have enjoyed this CD with my daughter and was very happy it got here before her birthday.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: It's OK
Comment: This CD contains several songs that are pretty good. All of them have solid Christian lyrics, but the sound is not as catchy as their first album.
I don't think that any of these songs are really standouts. I would rate it as just ok.
The debut album by this group is far better. I would recommend that one - Leeland Sound of Melodies - to anyone. My recommendation on this one would be to get a couple of digital downloads before buying the whole album.

Summary: Stellar Sophomore Effort!
Comment: Leeland hit the CCM scene in 2006 with a sound that everyone seemed to enjoy, with "Sound of Melodies". A mere 2 years after that, could they be expected to put out another album of solid mid-range (not quite rock, but not pop either) music? The answer, in a word, is 'yes.'
This album may not quite capture audiences the way "SoM" did, but it is a solid collection of well-played, solidly produced tunes. Lyrically it is also strong, as Leeland Mooring challenges listeners to live their lives for Christ, and not conform to the world.
Highlights on this album, for me, are the last tracks "Thief in the Night" and "May Our Praise" (both of which are on the slow side), as well as faster songs "Count Me In" and "Don't Go Away".
If you liked their debut, you will likely enjoy this follow-up effort, too. The future's bright for Leeland. Let's hope they continue to make strong, bold, unique music while we await the Lord's return!
