November 5, 2006This is without a doubt my favorite Audio A album. I remember buying this one the day it hit stores many years ago (wow it seems like yesterday). Anyway this is one of Audio Adrenaline's harder rockin album and is the main reason why I like it so much. With classic songs like "Blitz" (a song with another great band The O.C. Supertones), "Chevette", "People Like Me", "New Body", and my favorite Audio Adrenaline song "Some Kind Of Zombie". This is a great album by a great band. 5 stars all the way through it just pop it in you won't skip a single song they are all that good. I highly recommend this album to anyone. You want to hear some great christian rock or just great music you'll want to buy this album. Buy it today you won't regret it.
October 28, 2006AA moves forward again with this CD, rocking harder than they had on previous disks. On many of the songs on "Some Kind Of Zombie", the band moves to a more modern rock sound, whereas its predecessor, "Bloom", tended to embrace more of a classic rock sound. "Chevette" and "Lighthouse" are excellent modern rock sounds, and "Blitz" imports the O.C. Supertones to give the song an injection of party appeal. The band also still has great pop sensibilities with the simple but catchy "People Like Me" and the intellectual "Original Species". And the title track is as hard as AA has ever rocked, with a catchy riff and chanting chorus placed against Mark Stuart's strong lead vocal. This album is also a preview of the budding diversity of styles that AA would showcase on its next release, "Underdog". It's probably somewhere between a 3 and 4 star performance, but considering this album represents the bridge between two sensational albums, I have to believe that the band needed to make this album exactly as they did and for that reason, the album gets four joyous stars.

The songs show an underlying energy supporting the music. The lyrics aren't depressing, they aren't "You are not good enough", "You're a sinner and you should suffer into my graces..."'
These are life-experience songs...Little songs, unimportant on a larger scale, but interesting and helpful. Songs that tell the thoughts, the dreams, the reactions that anyone could have, to what goes on in their lives, around them. These aren't stories of Big Heros, who are so large, powerful, and far away that the listener loses perspective... they are little stories, where the listener is the same size as the hero, and the fantastic exploits are thinks that you can do everyday once your head is in the right place.
I feel that the music is kind of a blend of grunge, garage, pop rock, easy listening -- all put into a blender, set on chop, and the best chunkly bits fished out and fitted together in a agreeable way.
Song about a older car - something a pastor could afford, which puns and ploy points, and the story rising with the music.
Pop-funk-techno song about being free of our bodies.
Song comparing how different it is to have something to believe in surrouned by those who don't... surrounded by zombies.
Dedication to a creative creator from an original species.
How people are different, and how much the same.
Fast paced song about a missions trip to MX.
Dedication to traveling, singing, playing gigs, for what you live and believe in.
About how everyone has a "God shaped hole" that they can fill.
