Relient K: An alternative Christian pop punk band. Uh, OK. Oxymorons aside, this CD, the latest from Relient K, is really good! I'm going to be "Devil's advocate" here and label them straight-ahead pop rock. They are not punk, and not overtly Christian in their lyrics, so to hell with it...at least on this release, Relient K is pop rock. A wholesome Blink-182 or Jimmy Eat World if you will.
And it's good stuff! Lots of great melodies, good harmonies, and respectable lyrics. The CD is consistently good from beginning to end, but standout tracks include "Come Right Out and Say It" and "Forgiven." By far, my favorite track off this one is "The Best Thing," which is the answer to any pop rocker's prayers.
iPOD-worthy: 2, 4, 5, 6, 9
