Vastly Underrated. Vastly Unheard Of.

"Speck is a great band that should be heard of..well..., more places than they are. Even though the Newsboys are my all-time fav, Speck's debut (11 tracks, in case you were wondering)is much better then that of the Newsboys. From the screams of "Need It," to the great-sounding rock-with-hymn-like-words "Mercy," to the comedic lyrics of "Brilliant", to "Skin" crying out against discrimination & racism, this belongs in your collection.The only reason that I rank this below their second, and last :>( album, Gogglebox, is because every track (top-to-bottom) isn't above-average. A wonderful album nonetheless.The Christian rock world needs to know about Speck, and here I am telling you about them."
