Music and Movies .no frills .no gimmicks .just reviews

Sanctus Real registered its highest sales debut yet this week, landing in the Top 5 on the Billboard Heatseekers album chart with its third studio release, THE FACE OF LOVE. Critical acclaim for the project continues to confirm the Ohio-based rock band’s exceptional creative and performance abilities.

“I’m Not Alright,” the first single from THE FACE OF LOVE, also reached the Top 5 this week on the R&R Christian pop radio chart; the song is a Top 10 hit on the R&R Rock chart as well.

Christian Musician magazine writes, “THE FACE OF LOVE is definitely derivative of no one and firmly places Sanctus Real with Relient K and Switchfoot as purveyors of artistically challenging yet commercially viable music that can compete with anything currently being released in the

mainstream . . . the melodies shimmer, the arrangements exhibit increased muscle and the lyrics explore a dynamic range of human circumstances.”

Aspiring Retail magazine states, “THE FACE OF LOVE’s musically excellent modern rock, razor sharp lyrics . . . and incisive insights make it a true gem . . . a real accomplishment in cliché-clouded Christian Music.”
