| Lacking The sticker on this CD says that The Swift are "as passionate as Keith Green." Untrue. They are also much less musically adept as brilliant Mr. Green. Their lyrics, while occasionally being uplifting to the Christian demogauge (an example being "more than gold, I love your word/it speaks to me") but it mostly it plays a bad masquerade. The band's lyrics, rather than inspire, dull and numb. There is nothing new here, other than the poorly executed mix of irritating guitar and passionless piano. They are also less worshipful and giving glory to God, and more stoked on the fact that they have a CD that sells well. I don't want to sit here, and rag all over them. I'm sure God is using them in some form and fashion. I am simply not satisfied with cookie-cutter Christian music. The Swift do not sit well with me. |
