Take It Back! - Rumors Of Revolt EP

Artist: Take It Back!

Album: Rumors Of Revolt EP

Release Date: 8/18/09

Label: Facedown Records

So,this release looked very interesting to me, so I emailed Facedown for it.I was not expecting much, since Take It Back! is really not my style. However,I had listened some to a track and it got me interested. The first track is named "New Empires" and is about some bad things in our modern world,such as babies not having a father and some other problems.In the end,the singer is saying he will be the change for the modern problems. The next 2 tracks are great punk rock tracks and completely eliminate any heavier things from the first song.Suprisingly,the song "American Fantasy" reminds me of Switchfoot's "American Dream" a little bit and not just because of the title.It may just be me however. After that,there are two cover tracks.The fisrt,"Rise Above" is about rising above all your trouble doubtless of how bad it is. The last track was by a more recent band who is actually on Facedown Records named No Innocent Victim called "To Burn Again". It repeatedly says "give me the fire,to burn in me again" obviously asking Christ to burn inside of someone who has excepted Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.

Album Highlights: Pretty much the whole album,not anything that i disliked.

Rating: 8.5/10 This was a great album! One of the best I've heard this year! This isn't even my style of music, but I love it! Pick this album up off the Facedown Merch Store or Amazon before it sells out!
