Forget and Not Slow Down

What do you guys think of Relient K's newest CD, Forget and not Slow Down?

I preordered it and was so excited to get it in the mail. I also got my name on a poster for an extra 5 dollars.

I am definitely a fan of the whole CD. My favorite song is Candlelight... I just wish that there were more Christian songs on the album... iTunes even labeled the CD as alternative, rather than Gospel & Rock, which they have done for every other Cd...

Thoughts...

Reliant K completely changed a couple years ago and they are no longer worth listening to.

Either that, or my taste in music got better.

Nah, your taste has gotten worse. $\:D/$

The newest one isn't their best, though. I need to listen to it a couple more times... only a couple songs really stood out at all on my first listen. 5 Score and Mmhmm are both excellent cds, though.

I loved Five Score and Seven Years Ago... But I really dislike this one.

I loooooooooove this CD!! It does take one or two times listening to it all the way through to truely fall in love with it. I've no become obsessed.

My favorite songs are Sahara and If You Believe Me.

I need to get this.. I've heard the title track, it's pretty good.

Yeah. I agree that it takes a couple times through to totally get the vibe of the cd... I still like 5 Score the most but this is still a really good cd and I'm glad that they are still producing good cds. =]

I've never really listened to Relient K before.. I've heard a song or two by them, but don't remember the names anymore.

I'll have to look into some of their stuff.

Hmm, a bit underwhelming, but some of the songs are growing on me. (mmhmm will probably always be their best album. I like their older style better than some of their newer stuff.)

I was underwhelmed at first, but the songs grow on me with each listen. Overall I love the album and I really like the how the songs are more musically sophisticated. BTW, the reason it doesn't sound as "Christian" is because this album is solely about Matt's break up with his fiance. 2 Lefts is still my favorite, followed by 5 Score, MMHMM, and then this one.

Also, their style has never really changed if you listen to all their stuff. Only the way the album's are produced and the sound mixing is different. That's how it is with most artists. We don't know how long the artist has actually had the song written or even recorded a demo before they ever get around to put it on an album. Some of these songs may have been forming for years.

I wasn't aware of the break up with his fiance.. I'll have to listen more for those cues. Some songs are obvious but I'm gonna look for that...

Because when a band is basically always happy and cheerful, who DOESN'T want them to put out a CD about a messy breakup!?!? $\:D/$

Except they haven't always been happy and cheerful, just young and energetic; two things that don't last forever.
