"At first listen, this album won't hit most people. Until you start to listen this album closely. The beats grow on you, and rhymes are alot more intelligent than what is out today. Like the BEP's (true hip-hop fans know who I am speaking of), Sackcloth has to grow on before you see the beauty of the music.Many of the songs are a no-holds barred approach to seeing the issues facing the youth of America from a Christian veiwpoint. A warning to the faint-hearted, some of these songs are GRAPHIC!! Although by no means profane, many of these tracks will disturb alot of listeners, since these guys are often graphic when laying lyrics on issues. Imagine if Eminem actually examined his own demons instead of glorifying them and claiming that he doesn't need to change. That's the idea behind "Liquid Demons", a track in which a bottle of liquor asserts itself as the ruler of an alcoholic, forcing him to abuse his family and destroy his life. The song is smack in the face to Slim Shady's infamous "Drug Song". "Sibling Rivalry" is a song about a teen abortion from the fetus' veiwpoint. The track takes you from the decision for the abortion to the point the fetus is prematuerly delivered, and ultimately killed. How many groups would dare take this issue on in such a graphic manner. My favor has to be "Family Ties", where Sackcloth shows domestic abuse from the POV of both abuser and the abused. This album may not hit you at first, but give at listen, and it is sure to rival whatever garbage the secular world is releasing."
