#02. Relient K Five Score And Seven Years Ago

Release Date: March 6

They've come a long way since Marilyn Manson ate Matt Theissen's girlfriend. Getting steadily better and better over the past seven years, each new Relient K release seems to somehow top the previous one. And if the humorously-honest-though-cliché "Must Have Done Something Right" is any indication, this trend may show no signs of stopping with Five Score and Seven Years Ago. It's safe to call this the most anticipated CCM release of '07.

I'm a former naysayer who has been shutdown by Thiessen's consistent stellar writing (um, when will this songwriter win "Songwriter Of The Year?" Hello? Anybody??) Five Score is shaping up to be the band's best yet, with the closer "Deathbed" all by its lonesome easily making this record a must for 2007.

These guys just get better with age. But even with their growing momentum, I cannot help but still see them as the little band I picked up on in 2000 and thought, "Hey, this stuff is pretty cool." Everytime a Relient K record releases, it's a year-spanning love affair, and Five Score... appears to be no different. Words cannot express how much I anticipate it.
