| I love this CD. It is what you expect from a great band! Can't wait until the next one! | | | | Awesome Album May 9, 2010 |
| The Song "Lead Me" is one of the most powerful songs on marriage ever written! GET this CD, you will not be disappointed. | | | | A MUST LISTEN ALBUM Apr 28, 2010 |
| This is my first review, but I've bought dozens of full albums and hundreds of mp3s here on this site. I don't usually have time to write reviews, but this album deserves it. I have listened to it over and over for the last several days. The music and the lyrics are fantastic. The songs are not getting old - a sign of a quality effort by these guys. | | | | Love it Mar 31, 2010 |
I am very, very thankful I purchased this album - specifically the Deluxe Edition. As far as the musical feel goes, if you like Sanctus Real, you certainly won't be disappointed. The feel of the album is similar to their more recent albums, except better: it's "rock," but not in the obnoxious sense. Pieces of a Real Heart has a lot of songs that I'll listen to over and over - not just one or two good ones.
The thing I really like about this album, though, is that it has that extra "something" that separates good albums from great ones: quality, authentic subject matter. The songs are honest and hopeful, acknowledging difficult, real issues in life but seeking Christ in the midst of them. I would imagine that this album was as encouraging for the guys in the band to record as it is for us to listen to.
Argh...I don't have time to do a full review right now, but here are a few final observations:
* This is easily my favorite Sanctus Real album since Fight the Tide. I might even like it better than Fight the Tide.
* I would particularly recommend this album for people feeling dry in their faith, disillusioned (whether by unanswered prayers, politics, injustice, or otherwise), trapped by sin, or questioning their faith. There's a lot of hope in this album.
* It's also a good album for young adults seeking to maintain a meaningful relationship with Christ as they enter deeper and deeper into the "real world."
* In my opinion, the acoustic versions are just as good as the original songs. Depending on what mood I'm in, sometimes I actually prefer the acoustic versions to the originals. It's certainly worth spending the extra bit of money for the Deluxe Edition. For me, the acoustic songs aren't just extras - they're necessaries..
Hope this was helpful. If not, listen for yourself - it's worth it. | | | | Met My Highest Expecations Mar 13, 2010 |
To get to the point, Sanctus Real has nearly abandoned their rock edge and in its place is an album filled with radio friendly pop/rock songs, with the exception of "Take Over Me". This is not a bad thing, in fact it is up to par with their other phenomenal albums.
Despite the lack of the anthemic songs such as "Everything About You", "I'm Not Alright" or a personal favorite "Sink Or Swim", Pieces of A Real Heart is still a refreshing listen. Songs like "These Things Take Time", "I Want to Get Lost", "The Redeemer", and "The Way The World Turns" are all upbeat songs and extremely catchy. "These Things Take Time", being the most upbeat song on the album, ironically deals with some heavy material. "I want to know why pain makes me stronger. I want to know why good men die. Why am I so afraid of the dark, but I stray from the light?... Tell me is it easier to doubt or harder to believe?"
The song "Forgiven" is gaining a lot of attention, and for good reason. It starts off with a banjo and a xylophone, quiets to a nice piano, and picks up for the chorus. It is definitely a highlight off the album.
This is arguably Sanctus Real's most personal album to date (the comparison being The Face of Love). In the song "Lead Me" Hammitt is essentially asking Christ to lead him so that he can lead his wife and his daughters. All of the songs off this album have potential to be heard on the radio, but for the song "Dear Heart" it is inevitable. The idea of the song is that Hammitt is writing a letter to his own heart, telling it that it has let him down. It's an interesting concept that turns out to be one of the highlights of the album. "I'll Show You How To Live" is another personal song to his daughters.
Musically this album isn't anything groundbreaking, but all of the musicians are seasoned players, and Matt Hammitts vocals are incomparable. He has arguably the best vocals in the Christian music industry, and definitely a strong contender for music in general. It is a bold statement, but I stand by it.
Sanctus Real always has a clear message of hope, even in difficult times. Their lyrics are always honest, hopeful, and clever. In my opinion, for lyrics to have all three of those qualities is difficult to accomplish, and therefore hard to find. Sanctus Real puts out gold every album, so be sure to pick up this commodity.
