Denison Mars -- Then Is the New Now

7/10

Solid rock album featuring strong vocals, good instrumental work, and excellent lead guitar lines. Then Is the New Now is a fine example of the early 00's ridiculous wealth of good Christian rock albums (with several coming from Denison Mars' home, Floodgate Records), but it could have benefited from beefier production and a little more musical variety. It's still good stuff, though, particularly the emotive rock of "You Feel Like," the psychedelic closer, "Ps148," and a very enjoyable cover of Real Life's "Send Me an Angel."
