 Anything But Genteel Sep 25, 2009
I've been a Disciple fan for some time now. With each album they've released, I've been more and more impressed. That goes for their latest album as well. "Southern Hospitality" is driving, bottom-heavy rock n' roll coupled with powerful ballads that don't slack off from the rest of the album.
The title track opens things up, giving the listener a wake-up call. From there, three more pulse-pounders, including the anthemic "321," drive home Disciple's message. After that, the wonderful ballad, "Whatever Reason," slows things down a bit only to have the speed taken right back up with rockers like "Phoenix Rising" and "On My Way Down."
Other highlights include "Liar" and "Savior."
With a name like "Southern Hospitality," you'd expect a few bluesy, Skynyrd or Molly Hatchet-inspired tunes. There's a bit of that influence throughout, but the album is primarily a culmination of Disciple's previous two albums with a hard-hitting sound and plenty of radio-ready tracks. The most southern rock song of this bunch is "Lay My Burdens."
Of note on this particular album is the absence of bassist Joey Fife. Israel Beachy takes up the strings for him and sounds great. Brad Noah contributed studio work to the album but has stopped touring with the band. Andrew Welch and Micah Sannan now share duties on the guitars. Kevin Young's vocals on this album sound solid, although there's a bit less screaming than what could be found on "Scars Remain." Tim Barrett's drums get better with each album, and he is the standout performer on this album.
If you enjoy driving rock n' roll with a positive message, check out Disciple's "Southern Hospitality." Not only does it have one of the best album covers to hit the music store in a long time, it's full of great hard rock music. Highly recommended.
 Review from an old rocker... Jul 07, 2009
Ok...
For years Christians were given mostly hard rock that was sterilized with a poser copycat sound. Nothing memorable, fake, plastic edged. Just in the past 5, 6, 8 years there have been bands and artists that have "brought it" first class. I mean better than what the world says is good (who cares what hollywood says is good anyway?)This album sets the bar again. Real guitar riffs, some guts and glory, it is awesome.
I hear this album and my first observation is that it is Cream of the Crop Rock. I have so many adjectives to use and colorful words to describe what they have done here and the accumulation up to this, but why don't we say this album just plains kicks hard, it can be played over and over and not tire of it, like the albums of old. This is an instant classic.
Good Job boys!!
It grows on you. Jun 24, 2009
I did not really care for the new sound in this disciple album but as I listened to it more it grew on me and became better the more I listened to it. These guys have been writing music forever and if you buy this album you are going to want to buy the others because these guys are Amazing musicians and great men of faith. Don't just buy this album but buy all of theirs but also go to as many shows as you can meet them talk to them to know their hearts. You will be amazed how God uses them.
Southern Hospitality Jun 11, 2009
Disciple comes back once again with another fresh twist on hard-rock. You may not know it, but this band has been around since 1992 and have shown us many examples of what hard-rock can be. Southern Hospitality as an album sounds like the name of the album. A couple of the tracks have a southern rock feel to them, but with the hard hitting drums and guitars that we know so well from Disciple albums past. I recommend this album to fans of hard-rock, who enjoy great music with a great message.
Southern rock that sounds GOOD Jun 09, 2009
While this album isn't the best from Disciple its still a good one. Its like the band decided to go more southern this time and added a lot of southern sound to this album. Songs like "southern hospitality" the opener sound very southern but also very much like Disciple. The lyrics are also very Christian, with tracks like "Savior" the closer ending the record with the touching lyrics "I know You can save her, Jesus, Savior!" not the best written lyrics but still very moving stuff.
Its also very soft for this band. Since the self titled album back in 2005 this band has started adding more ballads and this is one of they're best to date. "Right here" is good too but not nearly as moving.
The harder songs at play here are just that, hard rock with a southern twist. "Liar" is one of the best this album has. Vocal wise its a little toned down compared to "scars remain" which had harder songs but theres still enough crunch to satisfy the harder fans of this band.
Best this band has done? Not really but its still solid music.
I'd rate by God and back again as they're best work but this and scars remain are still solid.
