Rare CD: Relient K "All Work & No Play"

"You are bidding on a copy of Relient K's first ever demo release "All Work & No Play". This CD was made in 1998 and self-released by the band. This was made and released before they ever signed to any record label. It contains several songs on future releases with different verses. It also contains several songs that have never been release on any other CD. I have searched eBay very often and have NEVER even seen a copy of this CD for sale nor met another individual that actually owned it. I am not sure of the number of these that were released, but judging by my experience with people even knowing about it, the number is extremely limited.

Review: Relient K "Five Score and Seven Years Ago"

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
