Great Album November 28, 2008
I just previewed David Cook's, David Archuletta's, Brooke White's albums and they do not compare to this one. I did not yet have a chance to listen carefully to the lyrics but the music is absolutely amazing.
Great voice November 23, 2008
Chris was one of my favorite American Idol singers but even I have to
admit I didn't realize he could sing as well as he does on this album.
Excellent Music! October 24, 2008
This is a wonderful CD! It was hard to find in the stores so I was thrilled that I could get it here. We wanted to listen to it before we saw him in concert. He has a fabulous voice and sounds the same in person as on his CD. Very uplifting and upbeat!
Chris Sligh October 11, 2008
Loved every song on this CD! By far the best CD that has come from any American Idol contestant!

Sorry to have to say it, but in my opinion this album ain't that great. I was excited to see Chris Sligh's music being sold on the Christian circuit but a little dissapointed in how safe it is played off as being a Christian album. If there are any Christian themes within the lyrics it's very subtle, but it's art and it's whatever you make out of it so thats not really a big deal. But then I was even more dissapointed with the music. American Idol fans might enjoy this record but I personally did not. To me it sounds like a cheesy pop parody of an American Idol soundtrack. It's like the main purpose of the album was to use as background music for the show. I have to wonder if some big shot producer just made the album and told Chris Sligh to sing it giving him no leeway whatsoever. With Sligh's image I was expecting either a punk influenced record or at least something hard rock. I was hoping Chris Sligh would be this big breakout artist who would be a refreshing depart from the mundane pop rock that is out there right now. But Running Back To You is none of those things. Instead, it sounds like an over-produced pop rip off of Daughtry and Kelly Clarkson. Some of the melodies are catchy but that is about it.
