Key item features

BarlowGirl might look like a Christian teen pop group on the cover of their crossover-minded third album, How Can We Be Silent, but they sound like a Christian Evanescence, singing harmonies in fifths over dark, roiling riffs and all manners of goth textures. In this brooding atmosphere, such Christian calls to arms like the title track feel ominous, as if nonbelievers should take their faith as a threat. BarlowGirl do this goth rock about as appealingly as Evanescence, but they're a bit more charming when the cloud lifts just a bit, like on the off-kilter "One More Round" that opens with Mellotrons and waltzes into some psychedelic jazz, or when they punch the melodies a little bit harder as on "Take My Chance," a piece of barbed melodic pop-punk that also showcases the trio's harmonies. Although "Take Me Chance" is an anomaly on the album, How Can We Be Silent is certainly more interesting overall than a lot of CCM rock -- and a lot of secular rock in this vein, for that matter.

Soul-engaging music

I recommend BarlowGirl's latest CD. I don't believe in coincidence; I believe this new release was God-sent. I've been going through personal struggles with my health and at work. This music is ministering to my soul. Songs like "I Believe in Love" is about having faith in the unseen even when God seems silent to us. Their song "Sweet Revenge" was a lesson in forgiving someone when you just want to hold on to the hate. "Here's My Life" is about following God's will for your life, even if it's not comfortable and not near the ones you love all the time. I just love this CD. Ladies of BarlowGirl, thank you for another great work. :-)

different isn't always bad

I'm a big BarlowGirl fan, so when i bought the CD/DVD combo, I was pretty amped. I excitedly popped it into my CD player, and almost instantly my hopes and dreams for a stellar third album were crushed. But after I watched the DVD and heard about the song meanings, I decided to take this album as a personal and spiritual growth of the band, and just because it isn't as upbeat and in your face, it is beautifully written and constructed.
