Wow. I think that's the first word that came to my head when I first listened to this album. Wow was followed by myself thinking that I couldn't believe someone actually thought that it would be a good idea to put this album out. Peace of Mind is a "rap-rock" but at times R&B sounding group containing KJ-52 and I have no idea who he is but he sucks at rapping and Pete Stewart who used to be in Grammatrain, Pete where did it all go wrong?
I really don't have anything positive to say about this album. I don't like anything about this album. The cover even made me laugh. They look like a thirty year old dysfunctional boy band. The lyrics are incredibly cheesy and there was an attempt at a pop-punk song that was so disastrous that it made Relient K sound like God's gift to pop music. The song after that there was an even worse attempt at KJ-52 doing a Jamaican accent for an entire song. For the most part, each song is a watered down version of the rap-rock fad. Don't rap unless you can rap and don't make music unless it's the best you can do. I really can't believe that they all sat in the studio and said, "Yo! This is off the hook!" or whatever they would say to say they thought this album was amazing.
Now I really don't like to crack on someone's ministry. If you have a message and try to share it, you have my utmost respect. Along with that, there is a fine line of being taken seriously and being looked at as a joke and not because of humorous songs. Peace of Mind crossed that line. Now I really do realize why Christian music is laughed at and I am no longer puzzled by the question of why the devil has all the good music.
