Summary: Tired of lackluster christian music? Try this.
Comment: Don't get me wrong, I like certain praise songs like "Heart of Worship", "Open the Eyes of my Heart Lord" etc. but if you want to listen to a band that is musically and lyricially intelligent, this is the band for you. I got introduced to this band with this cd by my wife. "High of 75" is the first song I can remember actually listening to. At first it struck me as a very silly song, and it still is...but I started listening to the rest of the cd and I was hooked. "My Girl's ex-Boyfriend" is particularly witty and random. Great cd and check out Five Score & Seven Years Ago for more great tunes about life, love, and God.

Summary: Reliant K Grow up...
Comment: I had briefly listened to Reliant K before "Mmhhm", but only to see what all the commotion was about. I was told a lot about their silly songs, and how funny they were, but that they were also a Christian band. For an example of this cross between goofiness and Christianity see (Marylin Manson Ate) My Girlfriend" or even "Sadie Hawkins Dance". Although before "Mmhhm" there was nothing wrong with Reliant K, they just needed a step forward toward maturity, and that is what they took here.
The themes on "Mmhhm" are at times dark and contemplative ("I So Hate Consequences and "More than Useless" "Who I am Hates Who I've been") and other times just plain goofy ("My Girl's Ex-boyfriend" and "The Only Thing Worse than Beating a Dead Horse is Betting on One"). The overall tone is very dark and feels somewhat depressing, but highlights that brighten tone like "High of 75" and "Be My Escape" make the album feel a little less weighty.
It seems that here Reliant K were struggle to balance their newfound maturity with their past goofiness, and it works pretty well here, but they found a much better balance on "Five Scores and Seven Years Ago". However, if you haven't listened to Reliant K before this is a good place to start, it showcases both their goofy side and serious side fairly well.
God Bless and *enjoy* ~Amy
