dear relient k:
i feel like we've sort of grown up together.  your sound has matured, we've both gotten a bit older.  i mean, your songs even have some intros and outros now.  but on forget & not slow down, you run the risk of sounding a lot like other bands.  mae covered that sound about 5 years ago.  there's still a bit of what i've always loved about you, but you've gotten sort of cookie-cutter predictable.

i'm not saying i won't listen, because i am right now, but just know that you're running a risk.  i think i'll either end up loving this disk or getting really tired of it in a couple of weeks.

The word disciple means "a learner", but Jesus infused into the simple word a wealth of profound meaning.  As used by Him and by Paul, it means "a learner or pupil who accepts the teaching of Christ, not only in belief but also in lifestyle."  This involves acceptance of the views and practice of the Teacher.  In other words, it means learning with the purpose to obey what is learned.  It involves a deliberate choice, a definite denial, and a determined obedience.

-J. Oswald Sanders from Spiritual Discipleship
