Your youth pastor's favorite modern rock band is back with their latest release, "Underdog". While this release is still a little too much in the realm of "safe" music where "WOW!" compilations are a vital part to a fan's collection, I have to give credit where credit is due. I have always found the boys in Audio Adrenaline to be the most bearable of the big three of CCM (DC Talk, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline) and with "Underdog," I am reminded why. Within the confines of the box that the GMA has put them in, these guys rock out to their fullest potential. Audio Adrenaline is a great pop band with some ultra-catchy hooks and shredding guitar riffs (in a Nashville sort of way) whom I would probably enjoy if I heard them on the radio. Vocals, instrumentation and songwriting are all equally strong on this album, forcing me to swallow my nonconformist pride and admit that they have done a good job. So, is this a good radio pop album? Without a doubt. Hard music classic? Not quite.
