Audio Adrenaline - Don't Censor Me

Toned Down Dissapointment!

Ok, so this CD isn't all bad. The lyrics preach a message, some of the songs stick in your head for a long time, and the production is passable. What is bad about this CD is the complete lack of interest it inspires in the listener. I listened to this a couple times the first day I got it, and then... Well, I haven't pulled it from my shelf again since. I guess the main problem with the CD is how toned down it feels. You basically have to blast the CD to get any actual "Adrenaline" from it, and even then it feels like quiet rock turned loud. Basically these guys talk most of the songs, and solo on guitar for minutes at a time, leaving an empty feeling, and odd taste in my mouth.

Reasonable - But Not Their Best

This is Audio Adrenaline's second studio album. The band was still searching for a style at this stage of the game, and the album remains somewhat uneven. Having said that, the band does challenge the views of faith on songs like "Scum Sweetheart" and "Jesus and the California Kid". The songs "My World View" (featuring Kevin Max Smith of DC Talk) and "Don't Censor Me" are excellent indicators of the outstanding band AA would become, and "Big House" remains a benchmark of Christian pop/rock. Overall, though, anyone wanting to find out more about AA should start with "Underdog" or "Bloom". October 20, 2006

Great sound and message - geared to young people

I find this CD to be good for anyone who wants to hear pop-rock with good lyrics.

In particular, I think this Audio Adrenaline recording speaks to kids/teens with songs such as Can't Take God Away, A.K.A. Public School, My World View, Big House, Don't Censor Me.

These bring good messages to young people when so much music is littered with destructive lyrics. Go pick one up for yourself (or your kids).

you can't shut me up!

this is when audio a. was fresh. i have to admit this is NOT one of my favorite audio adrenaline c.d.s. this is too much for me ,i have to admit. i still think audio adrenaline is still cool,though. buy this if you want some old school aa style! April 17, 2005

The album-CD that Set their style.

According to Amazon.com release dates, Within 30 days of each other Audio adrenalin released two different albums. DON'T CENSOR ME -DCM- was first followed by the self titled album AUDIO ADRENALIN -AA-.

But DCM was released in 1993 according to another source, and was their second release.

The Albums are of a different styles. DCM is more of a pop rock style, while with AA they seemed to try a rap-rock combo that I for one am glad they abandoned.

What does it say that when the band released their greatest hits, to date, with HIT PARADE in 2001 they included only one song, DC-10 from AA. And this song was redone and put on their later album UNDERDOG. Funny that a song I rate a 2 on a 5 scale appears on 3 of their albums.. must be a story there!?

DCM includes Big House which is popular as a young group tune. But the bands big time, high quality rock and roll starts with this album.

I recommend the AA album only for collectors because if you love Bloom, Lift, Some Kind of Zombie and Worldwide, you will probably not care for it.

Praise the Lord that the group made the DCM album. I like it much better, and there may have never been a third album without it. For the penny wise I recommend getting HIT PARADE instead. You'll want to save your money and buy all 4 albums that follow, they are all outstanding, with WORLDWIDE one of my 3 favorite albums of any genre. At this writing some of my favorite albums of all time include Led Zeppelin's first, Skillet's INVINCIBLE, Newsboys SHINE THE HITS and Audio Adrenalin's WORLDWIDE. February 22, 2004
