The K is for Kick-it!

Review Score: (10/10)
There are bands you love, and there are bands you LOVE. Relient K is a band to love in capital letters.
With "Two Left's don't Make a Right..." the foursome returns with another lyrically solid and musically kickin' album. Writer and lead singer Matt Thiessen has lyrical skills that defy his age...how old is this kid? The lyrics are witty, thoughtful,insightful, and spiritually right-on. Often times, Christian bands sacrifice style for substance. Not the case here...the music rivals any punk/pop bands out there today, minus the trashy language and subject matter that has become the norm. Think "Lifehouse" meets "Green Day" for lunch at Mr. Cooper's diner on Sesame Street.
All the songs are great, but some of the most ear-catching are:
"Mood Rings" in which Thiessen suggests that the problems between guys and girls could be solved by the latter wearing rings made popular before he was born to give the poor guy a heads-up as to her mood. Funny stuff!
"In Love with the 80's" captures perfectly the sound and spirit of the rad 80's. This song makes me laugh out loud, and calls to mind visions of Molly Ringwald and whoever the guy was who played "Ducky" dancing at the prom in "Pretty in Pink".
"Trademark" may just be the most on-target Christian song ever penned. The music rocks, the lyrics are amazing and personal...this is the best song on the album.
File "Gibberish" under the "say it don't spray it" category. The song has lots of made-up and real words that Theissen seems to have a little trouble wrapping his mouth around...YOU try saying "stop talking gibberish or just stop talking" five times fast.
The pathos expressed in "Jefferson Aeroplane" will have the teenage girls swooning for more of the bands sensitive side. Hearing this song makes me want to give the guy a hug, and see where it goes from there.
All the songs are worthy of a listen, and another, and another. Gotee records should be proud of this release which could/should launch this band into the secular realm where they can more than compete.
In short, buy this album...twice!
