Believe it or not, Christian music can be really quite excellent. It can be liturgical (as in Gungor and Hillsong), controversial (like Daniel Amos or Steve Taylor), vital (in the way of DC Talk), fun (like Five Iron Frenzy) and incredibly complex (let's not forget Phil Keaggy). NEEDTOBREATHE is none of those things. They are, however, a shining example of a Christian artist enjoying success in the mainstream...

Perhaps it's inevitable that most Christian rock acts feel the need to display an ostentatious, widescreen sound--heavy on the drama, please-- to communicate their often unsubtle messages. That has certainly been South Carolina's NEEDTOBREATHE'S M.O. over the years since its 2006 debut and few articles, or even press releases, are written about the act that don't mention its "anthemic, arena" tendencies...

Reviewer: Graeme Jones One of the biggest names in Christian music since Switchfoot, NEEDTOBREATHE returns with their newest album, Rivers in the Wasteland. This album borrows influence from all four of their previous albums; from the atmosphere of Daylight, the raw feel from The Heat, the lyrical influence of The Outsiders, and the overall maturity that pays homage to The Reckoning...

These days, it's not so rare for a band of Needtobreathe's talent to take a few years between releases and still have each one warmly welcomed, but the intervening years since courting arenas with Taylor Swift and releasing their biggest crossover album to date have been fraught with secret struggles. First, the departure of founding drummer Joe Stillwell came as a bit of a shock to their fans...

Last year, Needtobreathe found universal applause from secular and Christian markets alike with their latest studio album, The Reckoning. The signature southern sound returned, but this time with a darker edge. Hard-hitting rock songs and slower indie-flavored tracks flowed together to create the second best album of 2011, according to the JFH staff...

Sound: This is album has a unique sound. It has songs that have some southern sound, some alternative, and a little pop punkish stuff. Also it has a few songs that have a dance style. Some songs have fuse multiple of the styles together. Most of the songs are acoustic guitar with acoustic drums and electric bass so it has a neat blend of electric and acoustic instruments. The track the song is titled after is about Christians being on the outside of the world we live in...
