 Ohio Band for an Ohioan April 10, 2008
I first saw these guys at a Lock-in at a small church in Port Clinton, Ohio years before they were signed. I new from that moment that these guys were going to make it big and if the didn't I would have been surprised. I bought two of their CDs that night and played the heck out of them. Fast-forward to today and I now own every one of Sanctus Real's albums and with every release they keep getting greater and greater! "The Face of Love" is by far my favorite CD of 2006. I've seen Santus Real Live several times and am amazed at the band's humility.
 The Face Of Love Album Can't Fight The Tide January 10, 2008
I was a huge fan of Sanctus Real's sophomore CD. It was the first CD I actually bought, and until I got into Relient K, it was the pride of my CD collection. Imagine how hyped I was when this CD came out. Imagine my hopes when JFH gave it a stunning review. I bought the CD, and liked maybe 3 songs, all of which were in the first 4 songs.
"I'm Not Alright is a great rock song, and it's lyrics have a great meaning. "Eloquent" does very well in it's weaving of wordplay, something Relient K has mastered. "The Face Of Love" is a my favorite song because it's a great worship song, and every word is deep in meaning.
Other than that, the CD is only good, but not great. Compared to "Fight The Tide", this album just can't match up. The great riffs and lyrics that made the tide such a great album have been replaced by stuff that's more "mature." A case in point: "Benjamin." This was supposed to be a great emotional song to end the record; it's not. I don't feel any emotion listening to it, and all I hear is a poorly executed song. The same could be said for other songs on the album.
Overall, if you've never heard Sanctus Real, I would suggest getting this album first, then "Fight The Tide", that way your expectations aren't so high when listening to the album. A fan's dissapointment. This album has pretty much lost me with the band, and my former love for them is all but a memory. Hopefully the next album will be better, but it will be hard to win this fan back.
Not as good as the first January 7, 2008
The first cd had more cool sounds and songs to it, but this one seems like a lot more filler songs all listed behind the first song. If it's cheap, buy it, if not, you're not missing a whole lot.
Love it very much October 14, 2007

All of the songs are great. I only found one not so great song, but the songs in the cd has a great message. Go ahead and check it out yourself!
Catch them live if you can! October 1, 2007
Just saw Sanctus Real the other night with Steven Curtis Chapman and I was blown away. This is one of the best live bands I've heard in a long time, very talented, great vocals and sound. I loved every song they played including one they say will be coming out on their next album. I knew their songs from the radio but hadn't bought the CD...yet, I definitely will be now. Great band, great lyrics and message, it was awesome worshipping with them!!
