"If you have never heard the music of ApologetiX, purchase this CD (I mean right now, even before this review is over!) and you will be blown away! These songs sound amazingly close to the original songs that are being spoofed, in vocals, instrumentation, production quality, and in lyrics that fit the original songs perfectly. You will laugh, but you will also think very deeply about what the lyrics are saying. J. Jackson is a master at writing lyrics that not only match the original songs, but also stand alone as powerful messages. Biblical Graffiti contains songs that will appeal to rock fans of all ages: from the Beatles to the Barenaked Ladies, from the Stones to Smash Mouth. You will love this CD."
What an alternative!

"A friend of mine who is religious but not pushy about it suggested that I listen to this CD by the Christian parody band called ApologetiX. I agreed mostly out of curiousity about what could have prompted such rave reviews from someone who is not prone to this sort of enthusiastic outpourings. It didn't take long before I heard for myself what the excitement was all about. The music covers all genres and appeals to all ages. The lyrics actually make sense on their own in addition to fitting into the original music. It was amazing how identical to the original the music and the lead singer sounded. I now own a Biblical Graffiti CD for my car and another one for my classroom. I put it on in the morning before class begins and the kids figured out on their own that the words to "my" version of "their" music carried a message they didn't have to be ashamed of. I hope this inspires someone else to just listen to what this talented group has to offer in much the same way my friend inspired me. While I give this CD my whole-hearted endorsement, it is capable of standing on it's own merit for the sound and the message it offers."
You WON'T be disappointed

"Wow, ANOTHER great disc from the Apologetix guys! Everything from Elvis to Barenaked Ladies and everything in between (even the obligatory country song). Take an exciting journey through the Bible as we first see a guy who lived a long time, but there is something more important than that. Observe sibling rivalry at its highest in Twins Came Out. Learn that even though we ain't been nothing yet, God can use us in a mighty way. Just don't disobey God or you might have a donkey talk with you. Even worse, you may have to wa-wa-wa-wander in a desert. Sinful people can be changed - just ask the lawful woman in a bad place. God can help us in difficult situations, even in deep water survival. We must rely on God to kick in the walls that we can't overcome. Then enters Samson, who wasted what God gave him. Saul tried to defy God, but David cleverly saved himself as a crazy little king God loves, so don't be quick to question the motives of an innocent dancing Dave. If stay humble and avoid greed, God can make you a smart blest man (or woman). You'll see that God takes care of his own when a jail got rocked. See all he did & try keeping up with a fast Paul. We learn we can trust the Bible if we listen to Second Timothy. Be prepared for an Armageddon Valley someday so you won't be deceived by a Revelation man! Rather than droppin' on the sun, why not follow the God who bends to low places? Let Him help you with every step to take since He is the one way. You will be blessed by (and laugh with) this CD!"

"I Can't Believe It's Christian Music! - Apologetix has taken Rock n Roll classics and soon to be classics and turned them in to GREAT Christian music. These guys have taken contemporary music and made it into music my whole family enjoys. I've even used their songs as part of my elementary Sunday School lessons. Great music and great lyrics - I.C.B.I.C.M!"

"This is the Album that introduced us to Apologetix. When my husband saw the album cover "Pink Floyd meets Led Zeppelin" he said "This has got to be good". Sure enough, we were blown away by it. We are so amazed that one band can sound like such a variety of others from The Police to Metallica! As with all of their CD's- There is a song on Biblical Graffiti for everyone! God Bless!"
