Search - FM Static :: What Are You Waiting for

A worthwhile purchase!

"I was taking a quick look through Majesty's music selection one day, and I saw this CD. Right on the front it said that it had members from Thousand Foot Krutch and recommended if you like Relient K or MxPx. So I listened for a little and decided to buy the CD. It is amazing! Now, if you're a Thousand Foot Krutch fan, don't expect the music to sound anything alike. TFK is a rapcore sound, FM Static is a pop/punk/rock band. Sounds like MxPx and the Clarks rolled into one band. Now I'm not really sure why I bought it in a Christian bookstore; this band fits right in with the pseudo-Christian bands under the Tooth and Nail label (MxPx, Element 101, Slick Shoes, and the Juliana Theory also fit into this category). The members are Christian, but the lyrics are mainly about girls and love. I have two complaints which puts "What Have You Been Waiting For?" down to four stars: 1) The lyrics are anything but deep, and 2) It's very short. I think two more tracks would've rounded it out nicely. That said, this is still a very worthwhile purchase."

Not so much about the lyrics

"I don't quite get why so many people are bashing this cd. Okay, the lyrics aren't deep. Big deal. This is a summer album. You are supposed to turn it up loud, roll down your windows, and have fun listening to it. It does that extremely well. I've never listened to another cd where the whole album was stuck in my head at the same time. If you want a cd to spend hours pondering the deep meaning of the songs, you definitely won't want to buy this cd. If you want a fun cd that you can't stop listening to, then you absolutely have to buy it."

FM Static A+

"first off, the person below me needs to understand that they are in NO position to judge who is or isnt a Christian. second, if you subscribe to the "harry potter is evil" mag, you could probably overlook this lyric. it just forms a better rhyme than anything else would..



ANYWAY!



there really isnt a bad song on this CD. the sound is like a blend of blink182 and TFK. many of the songs are geared toward the high-school/college crowd. good, meaningful lyrics in all songs. this is an all-around good album and is worth listening to."
