until We Have faces (Essential/Sony)
FOR FANS OF: Decyfer Down, Breaking

QQQQ
The intensity and power felt in the first
few seconds of “Feed The Machine” offers
evidence enough to know Red isn’t remotely
interested in resting upon the overwhelming
success of their first two albums. Until We
Have Faces serves up a modern rock feast,
from the searing guitar of “Faceless” to the
emotional arrangement of “not Alone.” if
anything, Faces cements Red as one of rock
music’s staples for the next decade.

FOR FANS OF: Instrumental guitar
QQQ
Working with
keyboardist Jack
Giering and drummer
John Sferra (Glass
Harp), legendary
guitarist Phil Keaggy
formed a trio for
his latest collection
of instrumental works. The material on
Interdimensional Traveler forms intimate
soundscapes that perfectly complement
the wintry season in which it’s released. yet
it also limits the material here to rather
bland background noise most of the time, a
frustrating aspect considering the incredible
talent level combined here.

Crazy Love (Good Fight Music)
FOR FANS OF: Relient K, The Click Five, Skillet
QQQQ
Blazing a follow-up
charge to their 2008
musical mantra,
Live Life Loud,
with a challenge
to love others
unconditionally, the
electric pop-punk
quartet continues their youthful reach
via searing guitars, hyper drum patterns
and spunky vocals. Filtering relevant teen
topics through the lens of Christ’s love,
this convicted foursome extends loads of
grace to anxious adolescents thanks to
their hyper-kinetic, spiritually sensitive
performances.
