PfR's final album before their breakup in 1996 is perhaps their best album ever,
and in my opinion one of the greatest Christian rock albums of all time. The trio from Minnesota
crafted a musically strong, lyrically deep, and spiritually perceptive LP that is unusually haunting
at the same time.
For those of you who know what I mean, this album has a very familiar 'PfR sound' to it. Not to say that
all of the songs sound the same, though. There are heavy rock songs like 'Pour Me Out' and 'Tried To Tell
Her', acoustic ballads such as 'Fight' and the beautifully orchestrated 'Garden', and then other straight
up rock and roll tunes like 'Anything' and 'Ordinary Day'. One song that stands out in particular is the
title track, which has a very dark, haunting sound to it, yet delivers an upbeat chorus.
This album is near perfect, it's only flaws being that it sometimes sounds over-produced (which may be
why the music sounds so 'despondent' at times) and the song 'Say' isn't particularly strong.
Very touching, spiritually uplifting, and well-constructed, this album is a must-have for any
Christian rock fan.

This alt-pop/rock band turned in a fine pseudo-final album in 1996 when they announced
this would be their last album as a band (they later reunited in 2001). Them contains
some of the band's edgiest songs and some of their most sensitive. From its strong, aggressive
opener to its delicate finish, Them is a memorable swan song.
