Another fantastic rock album can be added to the CCM industry books. Fighting Instinct's self-titled album contains a message that never gets old - when we're down in the dumps and we think all hope is lost, God is right there behind us, waiting for us to turn and look. The band creates the album with a great blend of eccentric guitar riffs and strong vocals.

"I Found Forever" starts the album off with a perfect rhythm. It tells of the Christian clich? that when we are at our weakest point, we are in fact at our strongest point because of the help God gives us. And despite all He's done for us, we will never be able to repay all the love He gave.

Peer pressure is an issue included in the second track, "You Don't Know." The song recounts a conversation between two people, one in which finds the other "blinded" because of the religious actions they are a part of. "I know my motives are pure and true" comes the response, and if that's all Jesus sees, then that's all that matters. The incredible guitar riffs help make this song what it is.

Halfway through the album, Fighting Instinct slows things down with "Back to You," summing up the theme of the album - our dependence on Jesus. It speeds up again one track later with "My Heart Cries Out," which also speaks of how much we want and need Christ in our hearts.

"Just to Please You" concludes the album with great encouragement to listeners. The slower melody reminds us that things may go our way, but we have to make sure we don't lose sight of living our life for Christ. It should be our desire to "bring the Gospel to every nation, every town, just to please You."

Other tracks on the CD include "Light My Way," "You Found Me First," and "The Call," a song surrounding the fact that Jesus is there to guide us in our decision making about where to go in life.

Overall - great album. The guitar riffs mid-song are an incredible inclusion, and the lyrics are great for when lifting up is needed during times of getting lost and confused. Pick up your copy today, and visit their myspace at myspace.com/fightinginstinct to hear songs from their self-title album!
