Through It All is good music played well. They dabble in punk, good ole' rock n' roll, and . . . dare I say it . . . delightfully angsty emo. The next-to-last song even delves into traditional praise and worship. The lyrics are enjoyable and sung with emotion and fervor which won't appeal to just one crowd. I know I don't have to repeat that I liked this album, but I will just for good measure.
