Customer Ratings & Reviews

Between the release of "Son, I Loved You At Your Darkest" and "Come Now Sleep," As Cities Burn underwent some line-up changes. On "Come Now Sleep" guitarist, Cody Bonnette stepped up to replace TJ Bonnette on vocals. While this presents a different sound it offers no less emotion and intensity behind the vocals. For those who enjoyed the screaming aspect of "Son, I Loved You at Your Darkest," you may be disappointed in "Come Now Sleep." Musically and lyrically, however, "Come Now Sleep" is no disappointment. Musically it is well produced and driven. Lyrically it is enough to draw anyone into the arms of the Father's mercy. Songs such as "Empire" speak to our righteousness and glory in Christ. "This is It" reminds us of the futile attempt at survival unless we are caught up in the winds of grace. The entire CD is overflowing with this kind of lyrical depth. I cannot encourage anyone enough to go buy it. I am hard-pressed to give this CD my top rating of 2007 thus far. I am extremely blessed by this CD and pray you will be as well.
