Relient K's fifth CD is a diverse modern rock album that's so varied at times it sounds like a mix tape. "Take the Fifth" pulses with lush, Beach Boys-y harmonies, "Forgiven" is a piano-driven tune that sounds like early U2, and the dueling guitar feedback that opens "I Need You" displays deeper punk rock heaviosity. "Faking My Own Suicide"--a great tune powered by Death Cabby vocals, ironic yet playful lyrics, and a killer classic rock organ--seems destined for a movie soundtrack. The true standout is of course "Deathbed," an intense eleven minute ode to regret co-starring Jon Foreman of Switchfoot. Relient K have not only weathered lineup changes (the bassist and guitarist are new here) and mainstream success without "selling out" and foregoing their introspective messages of faith and hope. But they've made the best album in their career in the process. --Mike McGonigal

Customer Reviews:

Same old Relient K.......2007-07-12

I was excited to finally get this cd after all the buzz about it. However I found myself a little empty after I listened to it. It had good lyrics although not as good as some of their previous albums and it had the good Relient K sound and I enjoyed it. I loved must have something right, the best thing and Give until theres nothing left. My only problem is that all the songs seemed to follow the same format and they didn't place many things to make the chourus or other lines differen then the previous. Other than that the cd's great.

Not the Relient K I know.......2007-07-05

I'm a long-time Relient K fan, but this new album just doesn't do anything for me. I was deeply disappointed in the music and the lyrics.

Some of the songs have that intentional ambiguity that song writers use to try to get secular air time. The most common technique is to write a song that is unclear: is this to God or to a girl? For instance is "I must have done something right" to God or to a girl? I don't think that it makes complete sense either way. Getting a Christian message out to non-Christians is the point, but the problem is that it means that people who are not Christian will never get the message.

A lot of the songs are talking about how messed up he is. Recognizing our brokenness and need for a savior is a necessary step towards salvation, but the songs stop short of pointing to WHO we need. It just comes off being gloomy and hopeless. "Devastation and reform" is an exception. It does mention God as the answer to the devastation he has created.

The last song, called "Deathbed" is a rambling ballad that goes on for 11 minutes. It is about a man dying of lung cancer recounting how he had messed up his life with alcohol, smoking, a bad marriage and divorce. It has some valid points about the destruction caused by dad's abandoning their families, drinking and smoking, premarital sex, etc. But at the end they tag on something about how he accepted Christ so now it's all ok. What I am missing is any indication that Christ transformed his life. When did he make this decision to follow Christ? How did his life change? It seems like he just wasted his life on bad choices and just used Jesus as his ticket to heaven at the end. Maybe the song is a warning to not be like that, but the point is dulled by the happy ending.

But it gets worse. The song "Faking my own suicide" is just disturbed. Maybe I just don't get it, but I can't find anything redeeming about that song. Is it supposed to be funny? Making light of suicide is not something I can appreciate.

Great new CD from Relient K!.......2007-07-05

This is a really good CD for anyone who likes Relient K's style that varies from punk to acapella... It follows the styles of many of their past CDS but also brings in some totally new styles... awesome album!

Another masterpiece.......2007-06-20

Relient K has been very consistent over the years, and remarkably, they have again raised the bar. This collection of songs rocks, in its entirety. Except for one 15-second interlude, every song is iPod-worthy. The album's opening track "Plead the Fifth" finds the guys skillfully harmonizing a cappella, Beach Boys style. Too bad it's only a minute and thirteen seconds long as it leaves the listener wanting more. The lead single, "Must Have Done Something Right" features a killer hook. Other strong tracks are "Forgiven" and "The Best Thing." The band finishes the album with a dramatic, eleven-minute song called "Deathbed", which tells the story of a man dying of lung cancer who reflects on his life and poor decisions, but recounts the night when he put his faith in Christ. And to top it off, Switchfoot's Jon Foreman sings the final verse. Enough said.

Some Good, Some Very Good, One Bad.......2007-06-15

Relient K is a group that has a sound that is very appealing to teenagers. My daughter really loves this CD.

I am more mixed on it. Most of the songs are good. A few are very good. A couple are silly or worse.

On the plus side, 'Forgiven' is really a terrific song. Another one that is very impressive is 'Deathbed' which is about a dying cancer patient reflecting back on life and considering Jesus. It is very long and quite a story. I had to listen to it a few times before it really caught on with me, but it is actually very good.

Lyrically, most of the songs are either quite positive or even expressly Christian.

One song that is quite silly is 'Crayons Can Melt On Us For All I Care'. It is meaningless. One song that I don't like at all is, 'Faking My Own Suicide.' It seems very out of place lyrically and style wise both. It is about a teenage breakup followed by the boy faking his own suicide to get the girl's attention and make her think that she loved him. This really should have been left off of this project.

With the exception of that song, the rest of this is a good album. In spite of that, I hesitate to recommend it because that one song is so inappropriate.

5 Stars, But...............2007-06-16

If you own ATB's previous cds, you'll already have many of the tracks. It is nice to have his hits all on one cd though. in this compilation, it's cool to see how ATB's sound has evolved over time.

Right on par.......2007-01-08

I wasn't an ATB fan before but I had discovered 'Long way home' through Pandora and it just filled my soul so much that I had to get the song. After sampling the rest of the cd, I decided to buy it and haven't been disappointed. It's in constant rotation on my playlist with the following track ranks:
5 Stars: Long way home, I don't wanna stop, Don't stop
4 Stars: Long way home (orig mix), trilogie pt. 2, Ecstasy, Hold you, Let u go,
3 Stars: Humanity, Let U go (reworked), believe in me, take me over, here with me, marrakech, In love with the DJ, You're not alone, 9pm Till I come, Believe in me (DJ Atoine)

and the other 5 tracks are 2 stars.

That's a pretty good ratio for a 17 track cd. Definitely worth it!

One of the better albums I've bought in the last few years.......2007-01-07

I have over 1,000 CDs and this is one of the few that I can listen from beginning to end, over and over again. Several songs are classics in my opinion: "Hold You," "You're Not Alone," "Ecstasy," "In Love With the D.J.," "Long Way Home." If you're not familiar with ATB, this album is a great introduction.

ATB's Best.......2006-04-29

Wow this cd is great it has 6 brand new songs one remix and all atb's greatest it cannot be beat.
Humanity,Believe in Me, Trilogy Pt.2, Take me over, Far Beyond, and here with me are the six new songs are the are in the same ranking as Ecstasy, in quality. these songs are so full of sound that even a person who doesnt normaly like techno would be impressed. The new mix of Let U Go is great for trance lovers it is more acoustic and slower than the original version.
After those first seven songs come Ecstasy, Marrakech and In Love With the DJ. each has a very full sound to it (and is some of the best quality iv heard in a long time).
And after that comes the classic ATB songs such as Dont stop, the summer, 9 PM (till I come) and so on. this cd is great for those first time listeners or for those that are hudge ATB fans. I completly support buying this CD.

Great best of,..........2006-01-29

I really enjoy the sound of ATB. This cd gives you the songs that we know from the radio plus a few new songs which I really enjoyed. I definitely recommend this CD if you are a fan of ATB. It's a mix some trance and house with a pop edge too.

I bought 2 of them!.......2007-03-20

Ok, so I made a mistake in a shipping order and accidentally ordered 2 but I am in no way complaining! You have two discs in a package, one is the standard audio cd and the other is a dvd that has live acoustic performances of some of their songs including a cover of the Beachboys' "Sloop John B" And they perform it better than the Beachboys might I add.
An absolute MUST for any Relient K fan. Not only do you get their best album to date but are also treated with dvd features.

Awesome CD with killer DVD.......2007-03-18

Unlike most CD/DVD combos, which are typically all garbage, the DVD on this album is actually worth the extra money. Buy the Deluxe edition. not the stand alone CD.

Great movie, somewhat dissapointed with the soundtrack........2007-04-23

I had higher expectations of what the full soundtrack would sound like. The previews Amazon gives you is junk for listening to previewing a product. The movie was so spectular that I thought more highly of the soundtrack...

Fall in love with this soundtrack.......2003-05-07

This soundtrack was once lent to me ... it caught my attention that Yo-Yo Ma was the soloist in some of the performances. I was immediately won over by the rich, moving compositions of this collection.

Some might find the ceremonical chants and percussion heavy alongside such emotional orchestra pieces, but I think that they are two voices that need to be heard in order for the story to be understood.

My favorite tracks are the Main Theme and "Regaining a Son" (the penultimate track).

Haunting, emotional score.......2000-07-10

This film score is one that simply strikes the emotional chords. The beautiful cello solos by Yo-Yo-Ma enhanced the feelings of sadness and loneliness experienced by the character in the film. As I listened to this score, I could vividly see the towering snow-capped Himilayas in my mind. This score is both haunting and lovely at the same time, and it is another one of John William's masterful successes.

Beautiful sadness.......2000-02-01

If you have ever found yourself seeing the wisdom or beauty of a sad moment, listen to this CD. No, this CD was not meant to complement your happiest days and your most exciting moments. If that's what you're looking for, this is the wrong CD. But if you've ever seen sadness, and I'm sure you have, you might see the drama, the experience, and the sacred beauty that attaches itself to only the purest of sad moments. If you don't understand, listen to the sample of track #3. Think of something beautiful or sacred to you, and think of its worst day. It almost makes it even more beautiful, doesn't it? This music is made for those moments or situations, or to reflect on those very things. If nothing else, it reminds you of the same drama in the movie it accompanied.

This music is so emotionally stirring, it can only speak for itself. (So what am I here for? I guess I want to convince you.) Track #9 is perfect. It begins so sadly, and only a few instruments play. But when the full orchestra comes in, the power of the moment and its significance can stir your emotions. I love #13 because it almost shows the other side of the beautiful sadness. Hope.

If you can relate to anything I said, I think you'll love this CD.

Wonderful music, rich with emotion.......1999-07-17

The main theme (7 minutes) is exquisite and full of emotion. The wide range of instruments and sense of movement is wonderful.

Most of the even numbered tracks could have been left off the soundtrack album. The rest are truly beautiful and make the CD worth the purchase price. Having a CD where you love half the tracks is about as good as it gets with CDs these days!

Great collection of ATB's greatest hits and a few new tracks!!.......2005-11-14

The first track is nice. It offers a total idea of what to expect from a "greatest hits" type cd. It's a new track that incorporates all the style seen in his tracks from 98 - present.

After that, track 2 introduces a male vocal (definitely shocking! since he rarely uses male vocals) on a remade version of "Let you go". The song isn't bad but I'd prefered a female vocalist. Once I hit Track 3 (his last single, I think) and heard a male vocalist again, I said "Uh-oh!!" and thought the rest of the tracks were reworked classics w/ male vocals... but I was wrong. Track 5 "Take Me Over" brought back the female vocalist and it was going strong. It's definitely showing his ability to gracefully accompany a beauitful vocalist. The rest of the CD is versions of his "Greatest Hits", including a few remixes. Sadly, none of the (literally) thousands of reworked 9PM/Don't Stop mixes were included. OH well... I'm sure we're tired of hearing those anyway. Added note: There are 20 listed tracks, but there are 21 on the CD. Track 1 (Humanity) is a little worked over to become a better first track. Track 21 seems to be the original version of Humanity. It just jumps into the vocals w/o a long intro. If you listen to the tracks in chronological order, you can see his style progress and go slowly move toward the "chill/energy" genre. It's nice.

The included DVD has all his music videos to date... however, the quality is OK... it seems like they just threw a bunch of the clips together and made a VERY simple menu and added it to make a few extra dollars. If you don't own the ATB: Addicted to Music DVD, then this DVD should be good for you. You'll have the full collection of ATB's music videos.

It's definitely a great gift (w/ included music videos!!) for any ATB fan! and a must buy for the few new tracks that show his growth as a DJ. BTW-- He's ranked #9 top DJ by DJ MAG (as of Nov. 9, 2005).

The Much Anticipated Debut Album from Fame Academy Winner David Sneddon is Entitled "Seven Years Ten Weeks".

To Make the Album, David Enlisted the Help of One of his Biggest Musical Heroes, Elton John.

Customer Reviews:

Surprise!.......2003-08-20

After the highly successful release of his first two singles, Stop Living the Lie and Don't Let Go in the first quarter of this year, David Sneddon's debut album hit the stores and I am sure a large number of people were surprised.

Surprised by the VARIETY:

This album contains a wide variety of music styles, from the lyrical celtic-tinged WITHOUT YOU to full-scaled rock numbers such as FOLLOW ME and BEST OF ORDER.

Surprised by the QUALITY:

The singing on this album is also of a varied style. From ballads such as STOP LIVING THE LIE and DON'T LET GO to anthems such as TIME TO FALL DOWN and LONG TIME COMING.

Surprised by the HONESTY:

Unlike many other debut albums, Seven Years Ten Weeks is exactly what it says on the cover - a semi-autobiographical journey through the last seven years and ten weeks of David Sneddon's life. From singing in smoky pubs to busking on street corners all the way to surviving a £1 million competition, it is all here for the listener to share.

This album is designed to be listened to from the beginning to the end and believe me, you wouldn't want to do it any other way!!

Try it and you'll find out what you've been missing for Seven Years and Ten Weeks.

An album written by a musical genius!.......2003-07-02

David Sneddon's debut album Seven Years - Ten Weeks is absolutely fantastic. With 12 of the 13 tracks written by David, enlisting some help with his best friend, guitarist John Kielty and Scott MacAlister, this album takes the listener through the journey Mr Sneddon has made to get where he is today.

Beginning with "Best Of Order", David kick starts the album with a tale of his time playing in Glasgow pubs and clubs, when all he wanted was for people to take note of the performer he is. The chorus is infectious and David makes a great live performance of this. This is the next single, out in August.

The mood of the album changes slightly, with the more mellow "Time To Fall Down", all about trying again and not giving up on your dreams.

Next is the number one single, "Stop Living The Lie" with a twist! This version is much more rockier with a great electric guitar solo at the start. The song finishes off nicely with a clever modulation.

"All My Life" yet again tells the story of how David struggled to get a break in the music business, busking on the streets "Took a little bit of money tried to find my soul, standing on the corner of a street where nobody goes". Lovely piano playing make this song all the more poignant.

"Follow Me" is a great "clap your hands and stamp your feet" anthem. This song is about the wild ride into the music world and how David had to become accustomed to this lifestyle very quickly.

"Don't Let Go", the last single which reached number 3 in the charts is next. This is a great song with a fantastic piano riff, complemented by lovely strings. I feel that this song can have a double meaning - it can be about letting go of a relationship, or letting go of your dreams.

Next up is "The Bluebird", moving onto the rockier side again, and this is followed by David's favourite live track "Lazy".

"O.K" is about trying to prove yourself to the world, and those nasty Fame Academy judges "Doesn't really matter what you say, hit me with your best shot, you know I'm gonna be O.K!" Fabulous!

"Without You" is a sweeping Celtic ballad - soppy lyrics, but the BEST melody! The piano instrumental shows David's great technique and his vocals soar above the instrumentation. Beautiful song.

"Neverland" could be aimed at all these critics, journalists etc. who are ready to shoot anyway who comes into their path. This track has the influence of Robbie Williams as David sings "Neverland, you're stuck in your own private little Neverland, I will never understand, how you ever live with what you do." Well said Mr Sneddon!

"Long Time Coming" is the last album track, written by John Kielty from their time in the band The Martians. Absolutely fantastic song and a great finish to the album.

But wait, there's more! Yep, a hidden track called "I Love You" written for David's girlfriend Eleanor. May not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's a lovely personal touch to a super album.

Honestly, I cannot fault this album, it is outstanding in every sense. David is the new Elton John. His songwriting, piano playing and singing totally outshine many of the acts around today. It's refreshing to see a talent like this and he's a fab live performer. If you haven't seen him yet or listened to this album, you are missing out!

As he says in his album notes "I've been a musician for 7 years. To anyone with half a brain, 10 weeks on a TV show is nothing."

GO LISTEN!!

Superlative Debut Album.......2003-07-02

David Sneddon has proved that he is so much more than a reality tv made popstar - he may instead be the next Elton John!

All but one of these tracks were penned by The Snedmeister himself and what superb songs they are ..... from the wonderful ballads such as Don't Let Go, All My Life, Time to Fall Down, OK, Stop Living the Lie, Long Time Coming (written by John Kielty) and my favourite the soaring, Celtic Without You.

He's also upbeat on Best of Order (the next single release), Follow Me, Neverland and the total feel good track The Bluebird.

I think many people will be very surprised by this album - anyone who thought David was just a "soppy ballad singer" will be very taken aback.

David Sneddon is going to be around for a very long time, he's an extremely talented singer/song writer.

Buy this album - you'll love it!

David Sneddon promised that his debut album would be a cross between Robbie Williams and David Gray; the kind of comment that's given him the "arrogant" tag, but it does seem as if he's pulled it off, more or less.

The first two singles from 7 Years 10 Weeks, "Stop Living The Lie" and "Don't Let Go" aren't very representative of the rest of Sneddon's music, and are probably the weakest songs on the album. The rest is taken up with an eclectic mix of rock tracks, from the brilliantly energetic "Best of Order" and "Follow Me" to ballads like the haunting "Without You" and the highly personal "All My Life", via dirty rock tracks like "Lazy". The best track is probably "Time To Fall Down", a heartfelt, Beatles-influenced ballad without a hint of boyband wishy-washiness.

This album, with its grown-up and deliberately rough-edged sound might not satisfy the younger fans, but it's a very promising start and if people are willing to see past Sneddon's pretty-boy looks he should pick up a legion of music fans on the back of it.

BLAM

it's good. they kinda messed up "finnegan's wake" but they redeemed themselves with "irish rover." most of the songs are pretty good. one or two [stink]. there's quit a few that seem a little incomplete. like they could use an accordian or tin whistle or something. there's intros to most of the first 8 songs in case you care. but i like 'em and think they're funny. they cuss more than most celtic rock bands, which i really like, and they are pretty fast compared to a lot of other ones. if i could have, i would have given this CD a 4 1/2, but i'm a mean guy and decided to round down. :P

great collection.......2003-06-25

this is a great album and a collection of their work from the first 7 years they were together. It has that wonderful youthful feel to it and every song is perfect. This is just celtic music done in the pogues style. They were doing this style even before the fushion of 77 punk and celtic music became popular, pick this up, its simply great

Killer!.......2003-03-25

Wonderful stuff! I truly think these Chicago boys are the best players I've heard since the Pogues. Don't get me wrong, I dig Flogging Molly, Dropkick Murphys, The Popes, etc., but these guys are more traditional sounding, and they definitely have that attitude. Another plus is the spoken intros/commentaries by some old black guy who sounds like and old time bluesman. These are hilariously funny, it's too bad there aren't more of them on this CD. Anyway, check it out, and remember, MANDOLIN RULES, BABY!!
Peace...

Oi !.......2002-12-30

this cd is a non stop adrenaline rush of liqour induced lyrics. it has every thing a irish punk band should have on their cd. i recomend it to neone in the punk community and ne one who just wants to hear some good ol' pub hoppin , guiness drinking , folk songs . and if you get the chance see them in concert , Oi!!!!
