iTunes Review
Thematically, Pillar’s For the Love of the Game stands somewhere between the church alter and the locker room. The songs on this Christian foursome’s new album invoke the imagery of body-contact sports as they strive to rouse the faithful. Playing down their rapcore origins and past forays into melodic pop, Pillar goes for an ‘80s-style hard rock sound this time out. “Reckless Youth,” “Forever Starts Now,” and the title track give Noah Henson room to unleash ear-mauling lead guitar bursts, backed up by Kalel’s whipsaw bass lines and Lester Estelle’s staccato drumming. Singer Rob Beckley’s raw yelp of a voice fills rockers like “The Runaway” and “State of Emergency” with a palpable urgency. The strutting rhythms of “Throwdown” and the ZZ Top-like blues riffage of “Get Back” add some variety to the metallic mix. Pillar has always treated Christian themes with a sense of drama, but these tunes are aggressive even by the band’s standards. “I Fade Away” (featuring vocals by Breaking the Silence’s Sarah Anthony) offers some contrast but for the most part this album is a no-holds-barred exercise in militant faith, demanding a raised fist and a reverent heart.
Customer Reviews
get ready to be reckless!!
I saw these guys with building 429 & wavorly on friday for opening night of the tour near Chicago. Super amazing!! I got to buy the album early & got it signed by Rob & Lester. They were both really cool guys. (anyway...) Your best bet is definitely to buy the whole album! But, if you're not too sure, then for sure get "Turn It Up" (it's too good for words! oh & there's 34 song titles within the lyrics..sweetest song idea ever!!), "For the Love of the Game" (awesome message & sound!), "Smiling Down" (inspired by Rob's friend--go to the show to hear the whole story!), "State of Emergency" (dedicated to World Vision), and Reckless Youth (both are great messages for this generation!). I also recommend "Throwdown" for long-time/hardcore fans (Rob says it's like their old stuff). Hope that helps you guys! God bless you! :)
Pillar returns, and their better than ever!!!
Ahhh... pillar at it's best. Pillar's previous album (The Reckoning), in my opinion failed to please. With this release they are back, and better than ever. This album provides a harder sound that I really like, while not screaming to much. Very nice balance between hard rock and the message of christ. Must buy for any rock fan regardless of if you've ever heard of these guys. If you agree with me, help support pillar by clicking yes on the "Was this review helpful?" button
