Tiffany Arbuckle and Band have such a fresh upbeat and thought provoking sound in there music. As far as contemporary christian musicians go, these guys definately deserve top billing. This is a CD I never take out of my player! Such a wonderful mix of pop and rock, this cd also has some of the best written lyrics I have heard in a long time.

"All that's worth dying for is already dead/ An empty religion you've learned to accept/ When nothing means everything/ your daily routine/ You go through the motions like a helpless machine"     -from Candycoatedwaterdrops

"Giving everything for love/ I'm finding out that its not enough/ Theres nothing left between you and I/ I'm finding faith but losing us/ When worlds collide" -from World's Collide: A Fairy Tale

These lyrics provide a look into alot of issues that teens and young adult christians face. In World's Collide, She shows that finding faith means having to give up the love that she's given everything for because Her world and Her Loves world don't match anymore. Also in CandyCoatedWaterDrops, She touches on a very good subject, How are religion can become empty and routine because we start loosing what we once had: the fire.

All in all, this is a great cd and i would recommend it to everyone.

This is the first Cd put out by Relient K and is still my favorite. These Punker's for Christ sure know what they are doing. They mix elements of teen pop culture such as Back to the Future and Marilyn Manson with christian views and make some very valid points and they even covered the old Charles In Charge Theme song that just makes me laugh all the way through it. The lyrics are to the point and So unbelievably catchy!

"And I wish I was Michael J Fox / I'd visit the past/ Then come back to the future/ When I cleaned up my act

Yeah I don't know/ What went through my head/ Was my conscience shot?/ Was it left for dead?

I said I'm sorry/ But no one heard/ 'cause actions/ actions/ Actions speak louder than words" -from Hello Mcfly

"Walk through the streets of PA and you may see her/ Go up to her and say are you a believer/ Disgusting trash on MTV, it makes her smile/ That guy from Satan's embassy put him on trial.

Because... Marilyn Manson/ Ate my girlfriend /Satan consumed her mind/ And he may do it again."  -from My Girlfriend

This Cd kicks off a triology of non-stop punk rock entertainment. If you Like this cd check out The Anatomy Of Tongue In Cheek and Two Left's Don't Make A Right....But Three Do
