Full Description

This is the new studio album from one of the biggest phenomenon groups of this decade. After selling over 1 million career units, Relient K returns with 15 new songs that guarantee to deliver like Relient K knows how. As a limited edition bonus, the first 2000 CD’s will contain the never released before, 9 track Relient K Christmas album Deck the Halls, Bruise Your Hand.

This record has quite personal ties to the Relient K boys.
There’s a lot about making mistakes, failing, how amazing grace is and picking yourself back up.”

“Who I Am Hates Who I’ve Been” launches with a reflective piano arrangement that builds up with intensity to address life’s moments when everything seems to be failing, while reminding all that God provides second chances. The potent “This Week, The Trend” speaks of breaking through daily routine and living each day to its adventurous fullest, the spunky “Maintain Consciousness” is a colourful commentary on society’s need to be constantly stimulated by technology and the blasting “Apathetic” calls all to tone down their obsession over possessions.

There are also plenty of power chords that fall on the lighter side of the topical fence, from the brooding vibe of “Life After Death and Taxes” to the hysterically framed “My Girl’s Ex-Boyfriend” to the thermometer based teasing of the band’s home state (Ohio) on “High of 75.” “I So Hate Consequences” seems to build a bridge between the two writing styles, comically addressing all the times we make mistakes and try to run from them, but also coming to the realisation that repentance and forgiveness are necessary components in the healing process.

“We’re not trying to hide anything with the songs on this record, just to get what we feel out there,” Thiessen summarises. “We’ve also found it to be the hardest thing in the world to say ‘Jesus’ in a song and not be cheesy, so we definitely have our own way of singing about spirituality. But in the end that’s who we are and what we believe in. We hope between that and the music, it connects with someone out there."
