CD Reviews:

Shaded Red - Self Entitled Album

I remember when my brother bought me this album. I had never heard of them before. When I popped it into my CD player, I was shocked at how awesome the music was. This could have easily hit the top of any rock music chart. The album starts out with "Caught". An amazing rock song, heavy with guitars and with a great sound. The next song is called "Collide", another beautiful song from an amazing band. The next song is called "Let It Out", and is very heavy and very catchy. This album has one of my top 25 favorite songs called "Found Someone". It is absolutely beautiful and very romantic. Another great song on this album is called "Dreamin", and it is absolutely beautiful sounding. The last couple of songs are beautiful praise songs like "Fear Not", and "Use Me". This is a very solid album and one of my favorites.

My Rating - This is an amazing album. A great album for a new band at the time. The vocals and guitars are just awesome. This album is a must buy in my opinion. A couple of my friends went out and bought this one while I was in college. They were shocked at how good it is, as was I when I got it.

Shaded Red - Red Revolution

I couldn't wait for their sophomore album to come out. I was pleasantly surprised by the addition of new band members and a new kind of sound with different instruments. The first song called "Revolution" is an amazing song. The song has all kinds of different instruments. "Hello" is a great rock song that is very catchy and just amazing. A beautiful praise song on the album is called "When God Ran". The melody is soft and the lyrics are very praise worthy. A great romantic rock song on this album is called "About My Love". It is very upbeat and very good.

My Rating - Although this is not as good as the first one, the album is still very strong. The different instruments make this a great album. The lyrics are very strong and the band proves that it is a great new band in the Christian Rock Music charts.
