What did I think of this CD? Hmmm... Overall I thought it was a little odd. It has a good vibe and it's fun, but when I listen to music I tend to lean more towards the serious that fun. Don't get me wrong I love some of the more fun music! But as for this CD, it's not particularly what I'd listen to all the time.Tally-Ho – This song was really fun. But I didn’t really see the point of it. I liked the oddness of it but it lacked meaning.
Your Love is a Mystery – I liked this one. It was sort of a deep breath from the last song! :-P This one had more of the meaning I was looking for in the last song.
Crazy Love – L-O-V-E! Need I say more? We sang this song at Ignite, it was the first time I’d heard it, and well I pretty much fell in love with ‘Crazy Love’! It has a pretty radical message to it, but it’s so awesome!
My Next Breath – I think this is my favorite song off this entire CD! It has a little slower pace but it is full of truth! Man I cannot tell you how much I need Jesus more than my next breath! He is my next breath!
We’re Alright – I didn’t find this song very relatable, but it might be more relatable for other people.
Skeleton – This song was alright. It’s cool and I get what they are trying to say it’s just not exactly my favorite. :-(
We Can Change the World – I definitely liked this one! This one really hits home for me. It portrays a lot of what I devote my thoughts too. If we’d just do what we’re called to do as Christians, can you imagine how much different our world would be? A good example of this is Tim Tebow. He is one guy who is doing what Jesus wants to see us all doing.
One Shot – This song is good. It mostly is about not wasting your life. It’s a good song, just once again not one of my favorites.
Fraud – Definitely not my favorite song. I just don’t see why you’d write a song about some guy that drives you insane. I just don’t see what it accomplishes. Instead of making yourself feel better, find out why that person is the way they are, spend time with them; get to know them. Who knows you might make a friend out of them.
Joanna – Well I’m not overly fond of songs about old girlfriends… Just saying, I find it a little odd.
LAX – Ummm… This one is interesting… Kind of funny. :-P It makes me wonder how bored they must have been to write a song like this… You kind of get the impression that they aren’t overly fond of airports… :-P I love the ending though, where they scream but it ends in a sputter and then a cough! That was pretty good!
Done Holding On – This song is about regrets and holding on to them. It’s an alright song. I like it.
Thanks for the Beautiful Memories – I’m not sure what to think of this one… Are they talking to Jesus or their fans? I really don’t know.
All in all I think it’d be a waste for me to buy it, because in all reality there is really only 4 out of 13 songs that I really like. But the ones I do like are really good! I Like Hawk Nelson’s upbeat fun style. This CD is just not one I’d go out and buy.
Favorite Song – It’s a toss up between ‘My Next Breath’ and ‘We Can Change the World’.

Have you heard anything off of RelientK's "MMHMM"? It's got a fun, upbeat tune a lot (High of 75)and some seemingly random lyrics (The Only Thing Worse Than Beating a Dead Horse is Betting On One), but overall it's a very serious and thought-provoking CD. I think my favorite song off of it is I So Hate Consequences.
I love RelientK's song be my escape! I've haven't heard much else by them but I know I like their style. I'll definitely look into it! Thanks!
