"First heard Glisten on PowerFM 89.7 in Dallas, and knew I had to have the cd. The powerful lyrics and music are uplifting and well worth the cost (sorry mistercheezit)."

Extremely under-rated band-best of 99

"One of my favorites of 2000, don't miss out on this hard rock masterpiece. There is no filler material here, but some of the songs do wear a bit better than others. The mix is awesome-guitar and drums up front with thick bass. These guys are young but you wouldn't know it from the quality of the music. Last I heard they were no longer together.Check out the first song-it's killer. My personal favorites are 'Choose Me' and the opening track. I'm not sure if I agree with the Creed comparison-for one thing, Glisten writes infinitely more interesting melodic and harmonic progressions. I also like the vocals better. I have heard the vocalist compared to the vocalist for Depeche Mode (!) and that seems relatively accurate. It's nice to hear these clean vocals over thick layers of guitar. Very enjoyable and catchy without being trite-the lyrics are indeed thought-provoking. Being a Christian band of course, these guys never got anywhere near the publicity and exposure of a hundred other bands that were their lessers, much to the chagrin of this music lover. Highly Recommended."

Genuine and Original Band

"In a world where it seem like every Christian Rock band has decided to sound like Green Day (no offense to Green Day fans), these guys bring an original sound to Christian Rock. Bubble gum and high school lyrics are not found here. Though provoking and sincere lyrics combined with an original sound make this band exceptional."
