Most of the vocals here are rap; a little nice harmony here and there. This is the first album The Channelsurfers have made with their new singer, Aaron Scantlen, and bring us their unique sound once again. The song "God is Bigger" reappears on this album (they refer to it as "Boogey Man") and you can tell they spent a little more time on this rendition than on the one that appeared in The Mother of All Tribute Albums last Spring. The song "Beach Bum" really rocks and the lyrics are fun, like... "My brother is an artist... he lives in a van, but as long as he parks it by the beach, he'll always have a tan." Now if that doesn't make you smile, the rest of the album will. It's a quality performance from the Channelsurfers and, in my opinion, surpasses their last project, Tunnel Vision. My favorite song has to be "More Lonely Guys." There is a hidden track that we've heard (a parody of metal), that may appear on the CD; and we really hope it does... it's very entertaining.

They usually offered pretty dubious comparisons, but not entirely inaccurate ones, like "If you like Journey try Petra..." Truthfully, you can't always find a neat parallel between Christian musicians and their mainstream counterparts, and that's a good thing. Hopefully, the end of time won't come before the majority of…Similar sounding releases
