Above Review

From Flickerrecords.com comes Pillar's debut album entitled Above. Pillar has a unique musical style all their own. Their musical style is a combination of rap, hard-core, metal, and even some influences of reggae. Pillar's dedication to sharing the gospel to young people around the world shows with their straight-forward, in-your-face lyrics.

The album starts out with an intro that flows into "Live For Him", a song about being on the road, engaged in warfare for souls, and sharing Christ with others everywhere they go. "All Day Everyday" is the "heaviest" song on the album. A hard-core, metal song with screaming and all! The title track, "Above", is about praising God. The song is about how God is everything in their lives. "Everything to my God above, He's my one and only true love."

"Galactic Groove", an Old Skool-style rap, features Knowdaverbs rapping/telling a story about "living the rap life," full of futuristic puns. The song shows the life of a rapper today, and one in 2003. It also shows that through time, Christ was, is, and always will be in control of the Universe. The album concludes with the only soft song on the album, entitled "Father". Lead singer, Rob Beckley's smooth vocals tell about how God is their everything and how He will take them home, to Heaven, one day.

Pillar truly has the talent to do almost anything musically, vocally, and lyrically - and they take advantage of it all. There is something for everyone on this album.
