"I have his first CD and loved it. Now I have this one! This is a great CD. I love History as well as Only Grace. Matthew West is so transparent with his life and he's so goofy. I love that in an artist. Most of all, I love how God can use someone to bring you closer to Him. That truly is what Christian music is all about!"

Very Catchy Christian Music

"Prior to buying this CD, the only song that I had heard from it was 'Next Thing You Know'. That song is very catchy and appealing to a wide variety of age groups. My teenage daughter likes it as much or more as I do.



After listening to the entire CD, I was very impressed. It is definitely not just a one hit album.



Matthew West has lyrics that definitely speak to Christians. For example, here is a bit from the song 'Only Grace':



"There is no guilt here. There is no shame. No pointing fingers. There is no blame. What happened yesterday has disappeared. The dirt has washed away and now it's clear. There's only grace. There's only love. There's only mercy. And believe me, it's enough. Your sins are gone without a trace."



Not only does he have solid lyrics, he has a very pleasing light rock sound. I recommend this for any Christian music fan who is looking for something new and a bit different."

Good CD with a Great Idea Behind It

"I was lucky enough to be able to see Matthew West doing an in-store concert today, and I bought the CD before even seeing him play. I was extremely impressed with his demeanor and friendly nature, so that alone made me glad I had bought the CD. But on to the review--



There is no doubt in my mind that #6, "I Know You're There", will be a hit. It's a song about knowing God is there without ever seeing him. The upbeat tempo and great sound quality make it an extremely attractive track.



The other songs on this CD are decent, though none really stick out to me all that much. "History," the first song on the CD, is a good one. I'd recommend buying this CD if you're into the mainstream rock Christian scene."
