 Rock ot Yall! Nov 21, 2009
Yes if you want the message of christian living and rock out listen to this.
Great vocals, sharp song writing, better than their first CD Aug 29, 2009
Fireflight's first CD, The Healing of Harms, was very good. But Unbreakable rises to the level of being great.
The music is tight and driving, with a crunchy post-grunge, alt-metal sound to it. If you like hard rock, this is your style. Fireflight has a sound similar to Flyleaf, minus the screaming vocals, and is comparable in quality to Red, another terrific Christian alt-rock band.
The lead vocalist, Dawn Richardson, has an outstanding voice. She gives the songs a bit of a glam rock feel at times, but it all works very nicely. Let me tell you, this girl has pipes. She can flat-out sing! Soaring above the music at times, really fun to listen to.
Fireflight is a Christian band, but they're not doing worship music and they don't get preachy. Even if you're not a religious person, it's nice to have some driving rock sound, fronted by a great female vocalist, with positive lyrics. No one is being urged to hurt themselves or anyone else on a Fireflight album. The message is to hang in there, because there is always hope and forgiveness.
I'm a dad of a teenage daughter, and I completely endorse her listening to Fireflight.

 I will give it three stars for effort. Aug 04, 2009
Solid band as far as musicianship goes.
My one complaint is a big one. It feels like hard rock by numbers.
Like, painting by numbers. I don't believe them. I believe Flyleaf.
It's like take a contemporary CCM thing and dress them up as a hard rock band.
I just don't believe them. Some people like hard rock, and metal,
and some people live and breath it. I don't feel like these are the latter.

A heathen's take Apr 20, 2009
I'm not Christian. The majority of "Christian pop" makes me gag at the unoriginality and the figurative beating over the head with the message. So it was with some surprise that when Fireflight's "Unbreakable" came up in my Pandora/Within Temptation stream and I was rocking out to it I learned that they're a Christian band. Pandora supplied a few more songs and I ended up buying the CD.
Fireflight doesn't have the dirge-like grind of Evanescence nor the teen angst of Paramore, the bands that most compare them to. Their sound is at once bright and heavy with hopeful lyrics. God is occasionally mentioned but not emphasized. Vocalist Dawn Richardson doesn't have the strongest voice but it's very emotional and there's moments where she reminds me of Pat Benatar. If you're a fan of female-fronted rock bands Fireflight is a nice surprise, and they could easily cross over into the mainstream without compromising their beliefs.
