Yep, they're Christian all right

With Flyleaf's first CD it took me a while to figure out they were a Christian rock band. Their singles hinted at it, with "All Around Me" being the most overt -- it took buying the CD and hearing "Cassie" for the first time to lock it in -- but with Memento Mori (Latin translation: "Remember you will die") you're hit with their allegiance right out of the gate, and, to paraphrase Gen 1, it is good: "Beautiful Bride" and "Again" practically whack you over the head with a Christian worldview that sets up the rest of the album. The CD consists of 10 songs followed by an interlude and then 3 more songs. Practically all 10 in the first block are strong, but for some reason the final block of 3 fall flat -- maybe because by the end of the CD we're hearing some musical repetition. Flyleaf is a very musically imaginative band, but the imagination does seem to run out by the end. Still, it's a very listenable CD with very strong songs and a consistency of quality that was missing from the first CD -- if you liked Flyleaf's debut, you should get this one.

I was really excited for this album and it still has some really good tracks, but looking back on it I probably wouldn't have bought it. Some of the songs have quite bizarre arrangements and I think they should have focused more on quality vs quantity, as the expanded edition has 19 songs and the version I have has 21. That and I hate the cover art A LOT. To me, it looks stupid. Overall, good effort but definitely not as amazing as their first.

I like this disc a lot. I think it's a nice follow-up to their debut cd. Their sound is more mature and diverse. There's a great mix of songwriting. The songs that rock still have the edge of their first disc. The slower songs contribute balance. And for what it's worth: I saw Flyleaf in concert recently and they're awesome! Buy this cd, you won't be disappointed.

This is a great CD, although I like their first a bit better. The more I listen the more I like it. Some of the songs not played on the radio are the best on the CD.
