iTunes Review

At first listen, the Tampa-based quintet 39 Stripes appears to be another entry in the Christian hard music sweepstakes along the lines of Decyfer Down and Red. And while it’s true that their fourth album Beyond Broken is full of crunchy riffage and hammering drum lines, there are enough subtleties to the band’s approach to help them avoid easy labels. The yearning tone of newly recruited singer Mike Wilson (an American Idol alumnus) adds a heartfelt edge to even post-grunge rockers like “Wake Up” and “Holding On.” Steve Henderlong’s lead guitar work also shows an individual touch, veering from rapid-fire volleys (“Mustard Seed”) to effects-laden textures (“Blind”) and ‘80s-style jittery lines (“Saving Me A Place”). If the band’s musical approach is varied, its message of spiritual need and salvation stays on point. A string-accented acoustic version of “Saving Me A Place” closes the album on a bittersweet note. Beyond Broken may confound some purists, but its eclectic approach is ultimately a source of creative strength.

Customer Reviews

One Fantastic Album!!!

I've rotated this album about 5-6 spins already and I like it more each time I listen to it. From start to finish, top to bottom this album rocks! The rhythm section is very tight and pronounced. The guitars sound fat and edgy! The PT100 really shines through on each track. The singer really shines on the songs with very powerful lyrics and tone. My favorite songs are "Mustard Seed" and "Not By My". Mustard Seed had a strong progression and classic soaring choruses. Not By My is definitely my favorite song. Vintage throwback lyrics and just and epic win. You can really hear the hard work and detail put into this project. I wish all the success in the world with this album release.

39 Stripes ROCKS!

What a fantastic album! What a great sound! I highly recommend it for anyone who likes great rock n roll with a side of faith. Nice and heavy on the guitars and great vocals too - this one has it all! If this were vinyl, I would have already burned through the record on several tracks, but most notably "Mustard Seed", "Wake Up" and "Saving Me a Place"! Already looking forward to their next effort!

Great Album Full of Melodic Hard-Rock Hits

This is a great album, plain and simple. When listening, I can identify AT LEAST four radio singles - Mustard Seed, My Desire, Perfect World and Saving Me A Place. By any stretch of the imagination, the album is better than the lion's share of what is being forced upon us by the major labels and mainstream Christian radio. If you love good, solid, well-written rock music, you'll appreciate this album immensely regardless of your religious persuasion.
