"Falling Up's debut album "Crashings" is hard-core beats and lyrics. They take something that generally is put into worship into beats and intense vocals like no other. They sing about their love and passion for God and how He has gotten them where they are now.
"Bitter Sweet" definitally captures the listener into with their emotions and lyrics. While all of the songs are filled with memorable lyrics that keep you singing, one that definitally captures the true spirit of a Christian is "Falling In." All these songs relate to me in certain ways. If you want some Christian music that is not slow and dragged out, definitally check out Falling Up's debut album, "Crashings.""

"now this is an all out christian cd and im not really a christian but... its a great cd. christian rock has some of the best bands out there and this is one of them. features falling in love wich is one of my all time favorit songs.
this cd starts out with the four "radio" songs that are good rock ballads then at the fifth song the cd starts to change into a dark quiet emotional roller coaster and it uses special effects well and also a little rap as well
once again u dont have to be a christian to like this
4.7/5"

"I bought this CD with expectations that it would be a good CD. Ok, so after listening to the first uh... 12 songs, the CD blew me away. Every song on there is unique in their own ways. The vocals are amazing, and the quality sound of the guitar/vocals will blow you away like it did me. Many of the songs even have catchy electronic rifts to them. Never have I heard such a different (in an AWESOME way) sound in the Christian music industry. You like hard rock/hip hop stuff? This CD is for you. You like catchy lyrics that have Christ-like meanings in them? This CD is for you. You like awesome vocals that can hit high notes if necessary, and rap at the same time? This CD is for you.
Bittersweet and Jacksonfive are the two best songs on there I think. Those songs are very professionally put together. They sound amazing. Jacksonfive features the lead vocalist from Kutless and Demon Hunter, and features Paul Wright as well. Bittersweet is a head-banging flat out rock song that has a very catchy chorus. Jacksonfive is hard stuff too, but it gets your dance moves on as well. Awesome hiphop/reggae/metal stuff in that song. Like I said, each song on there is unique and will be stuck in your head for days if not weeks, trust me. I couldn't get this CD out of my CD player for about 2 weeks. This is my first review, and I have about 80 Christian CD's, so you can tell that this CD has impacted me. I don't know if it beats Thousand Foot Krutch's "Phenomenon," however. It's certainly close! We'll see who pulls off in the end. I don't TFK will ever let me down though.
If you like mainsteam stuff, then you most likely, hopefully, undoubtedly, know Linkin Park. Very similar to Falling Up. I recommend Falling Up's CD (as well as TFK's "Phenomenon" CD) times infinity! For people who mainly listen to Christian music, Falling Up closely resembles a mixture of Thousand Foot Krutch, Anberlin, Kutless, and Furthermore. Just my opinion. Someone said something about resemblence to Switchfoot. Sorry, but I seriously can't see that...
Anyway, I'm done. Buy this CD now!"
