RAAWKN!!!!! Nov 06, 2009
Its one of my favorites!!! You can hear the C.S. Lewis influence throught the whole album. From the beautiful arrangements of the strings to the memorable guitar riffs alongside powerful lyrics this cd never gets old! Its inspiring yet you can still rock out to it full blast. One of my most prized cds.

Amazing, amazing, amazing. I can't say enough good things about Wavorly. They rock with the best of them, standing with the likes of "Red" "Underoath" and "This Beautiful Republic." I absolutely love this album, and can't wait to see what the band brings in the future.
A "Conquering" debut Jan 23, 2009
In the swarm of new bands and artists coming onto the Christian scene in 2007, some stood out while others drifted slowly into the mix. Tupelo, Mississippi rockers, Wavorly, burst onto the airwaves with the ultra popular song "Praise and Adore" showcasing early on their breakout debut. Since the band's 2001 start and previous name Freshmen 15, they have come a long way. The five members all had different likes and styles of music in which they clung to, from punk rock, metal core, indie, and pop. Their diverse influences created something that lead vocalist, Dave Stovall and bassist Matt Lott deemed "grander vision for what their music and purpose could be". Wavorly's debut, Conquering the Fear of Flight, was the creation that came from this talented group.
Conquering is an obvious rock album when you first give it a listen, but after a few tracks go by you understand that there is something more here. Aside from their smash radio hit, this whole record is chock full of power. Wavorly's gift of a combining mix of orchestra, slamming guitar rifts, and a bit of indie rock, produces a unique sound. Conquering starts out with an ensemble of string instruments, as if telling a story of passion, then blasts into the next track, "Madmen", as if the two songs were melted together. Thus showing off the band's will to rock. But they aren't done there. Drawing from the writings of C.S. Lewis, Wavorly blends the pioneer's words into the heart of the rock tracks "Part One" and "Endless Day". The lyrics are deep and genuine giving the listener plenty to ponder. On the track "Time I Understood", Stovall's vocals describe God's mission for us and how we are loved by Him, showing off their insight and meaning as a band. Keeping with the orchestra feel, the album gives tastes of a flowing musical background as it fades out on the last track "The Defeat".
Some reviewers throw out good reviews like cheap tootsie rolls at a parade, but every good review that Wavorly receives for Conquering the Fear of Flight they have whole-heartily worked hard for and deserved. With this being their first album I am looking forward to more from this band. Hopefully taking chances and putting passion into their music, as they have done here, Wavorly will continue to stay above getting lost in the mix.
VERY good music! Jan 19, 2009
Ever since this album came out, I have been hooked. The style of music they have is very interesting and fun to listen to. This is probably one of my favorite rock albums in my 6,000 song library. Not only is the singer's voice great, but the instruments and sounds that go along with it simply make for an artful and awesome experience to listen to. There are aso a few softer songs that I like and are catchy. If you're a fan of rock, definitely get this cd and you won't be dissapointed!
What a debut Sep 15, 2008
This is definitely one of the best CDs of the year (2007), and few CDs give me that feeling the first time I listen to them (and I listen to A LOT of music). It is easy to see that a lot of thought and effort went into making this album. I would place "Conquering the Fear of Flight" in a Christian rock/alternative/indie category. The CD stands out amongst others in its genre thanks to its thought-provoking lyrics and instrumental creativity. I love how the strings are incorporated into most of the CD to give it a fuller sound. There are lots of catchy guitar riffs and a nice variety of songs as well. The CD clocks in at about 50 minutes, which is a pretty generous amount of music these days. This is one new band I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for in the future.
