Come and praise God. This is accessible praise. Modern pop rock praises. Straight-forward lyrics with music that doesn't stray far from a CCM sound. Sonic Flood's self-titled album brings many recognizable praise songs and some unheard songs all brought into the realm of young melodic pop. This is a pretty mellow album. There are some nice guitars in "My Refuge," and a nice intro to "Open the Eyes of My Heart" (which has some nice guitar tones), but don't expect this album to rock. Well performed, well recorded music with all the harmonies of Between Thieves and the Waiting put together. You'll find good vocals, which is a must in this genre. The album is comparable to the above mentioned bands with maybe some hints of Michael W Smith, Oasis, Smalltown Poets, faster Steven Curtis Chapman, and slower dc Talk. The music has nothing amazingly new even within its genre. While the music seems pretty standardized, the key is its eagerness to praise God. This eagerness is even mentioned at the end of the album in a spoken word section communicating their earnest intentions. So, pop music lovers, unite. Praise seekers, look into. Hard music lovers, approach with caution.
