caught unawares

itunes customer review of Future of Forestry: Twilight

Tricked! (2 stars)
I’ve been tricked! At first listen this sounded fairly decent so I picked it up. Look out it’s Jesus Rock! iTunes please put this in it’s rightful place or at least put a warning label on it! Just a heads up for anyone out there who might get caught unawares like I did – you can’t be too careful these days…


I try to listen and understand views and opinions from other people that don’t necessarily match my own. I am sarcastic by nature by try not to make too much fun of opinions that differ from my own…this is a bit of an exception. I am a little protective because I am close to this record. It is one of my favorites and i've been listening to it since last May. Since it just released, I ran across this customer review on itunes. I agree this is classified wrong. I would have at least called it rock or alt rock, not pop. But why should it be classified as chrisitan? The guys are Christian and when he sings “you’re all I want” he is talking about God. Why should Christian music be classified by the lyrics, when no other genera is? I mean, there aren’t genres called depressed, vulgar, or agnostic. The warning label idea really made me laugh out loud. What would it say?
Caution this record could be good for your heart
Safe for the whole family
This album contains no references to sex, drugs, or violence and has no explicit lyrics.
