Summary: Most mature Kutless album so far
Comment: Sea of Faces is the first Kutless CD I purchased, and now, years later, it remains the best album they've ever released, a balanced and natural-feeling project that stands firmly on its own two feet.
I attribute the unique sound of this album to a variety of factors, chief of which is the feeling of unrushed passion they project. The band is confident in their slower songs, willing to use thick guitar riffs with lots of harmonic vocal background and bass; their unpretentious rhythms and minimalist screaming make this a great musical experience, occasionally akin to a redeemed and mellow Linkin Park sound.
The message the guys broadcast here is a heartfelt tribute to the grace of God in adversity. Their lyrics are empathetic and wise without being didactic or simpering; these masculine laments are actually very hopeful pieces, with plenty of attitude. The songs are diverse, from pumping rock tracks like Not What You See and Let You In to more melodic tunes like Sea of Faces and All of the Words. I enjoy every song on this excellent and unforced album.

Summary: Awesome
Comment: Awesome. That's the only way to describe this CD. I was starting to get into Christian rock and decided to buy a CD. This was the first Christian rock CD I've ever bought. It's great. Their lyrics are very true and meaningful and they still manage to keep that rock sound that everyone loves. It's something that I would suggest to anyone of almost any age group. Jon Micah has a very strong voice and delivers every song very well. When I bought this CD, I knew nothing of Christian rock or even Christian music for that matter. Now, I know every word to every song on all of their CDs. Trust me, you will fall in love with Kutless and with this CD.

Summary: This isn't just great Christian rock. It's great rock, period.
Comment: Kutless is easily my favorite band and this CD is a big reason for me. Anybody that says Christian bands have no talent has obviously never heard Kutless.
I can honestly say there isn't a single song on this CD that I don't like. The CD starts with "Not What You See", a very profound song about how we as Christians are nothing more than servants to God and the world around us.
Next is "All Alone", an marvelously produced song about Jesus being our only hope. "Better For You" is another very profound song about how the right thing always seems hard, but in the end it is better for us.
"Sea of Faces" is one of the songs that made Kutless, and you can see why. It has a great melody, great words, and great over all sound. "Let You In" is probably the hardest song on the album, and it features singing by Demon Hunter's lead singer.
"Passion" captures the pain and anguish of Jesus' death in a very powerful way. It mentions how Jesus' death, although it was terrible, is comforting to all of us.
"Perspectives" would make a great mainstream song. It simply states that we need to view the world around us in a way that realizes we are not the only ones with problems. After "Perspectives" is "Treason", another remarkably deep song about how we don't act like we're really Christians, and commit treason against God.
"All the Words" is simply a beautiful praise-and-worship song. "Troubled Heart" is probably my least favorite on the album, but even it is a good song. The final song, "It's Like Me", talks about the difficult of witnessing, and has one of the best lines in all of music - "Would my care increase if I truly believe that a life could be saved?"
To sum it up, if you want great rock music with a great message, don't pass up Kutless's Sea of Faces.
