A Religious Experience.,
By Arturo_Aquaboy (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads (Audio CD)
Put aside your own anti organised religion beliefs for one moment. Just as Steve Earle was lambasted by the right-wing for his song 'John Walker's Blues', Lift To Experience have been attacked by certain parts of the mainly liberal and supposedly open-minded rock fraternity for their religiously conceptual "Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads". Theistic or not, the content of this album has the ability to appeal to all. The emotions that the band portray via the dense and longing soundscapes and lyrics that encompass love, war, fear and death can be valued by all and narrate a vivid and often terrifying story. If anything this album will make you forget the modern bigoted views of many right-wing christians and maybe appreciate the worthy and intense feeling that Christianity was based upon. What do I know anyway? This album uncovers feelings in me that no other album can bring forth. Genius. If they don't do another album then I'll cry.

a fully made album, not a fragmentary one...,
By Daniel Serna Mascareñas (Monterrey, Nuevo Leon Mexico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads (Audio CD)
this is a great album, the music is fabolous. i think the whole album is enclosed in a concept, such as pink floyds albums, enrique bunbury, and a lot others; who not only make the songs one by one and have no relation among them. theres a connection or continuity through the whole album, including feelings, lyrics, music and of course the titles: if you read along from the first song to the last one you can make up a sentence with a complete meaning; well, there are two phrases, one for each CD. this group doesnt only work with the musicality of the instruments, but also with the voice, they manage scales and harmonys and all that with the voice like it was yet another instument, not just repeating a static tone of voice. this album is great in complexity when you listen carefully through it, but its also digestable, causing no stomach (or ear) problems in listening it for the first time.i just hope the next album is also made with such enthusiasm as this one and not just another album to pass the time or listen as background music during a party or seance.

THIS IS THE POWER OF 3 MENS CONVICTION,
By
This review is from: Texas-Jerusalem Crossroads (Audio CD)
Contrary to what I've seen on this site. These men ARE VERY RELIGIOUS. I live in Denton and know them casually. I am not religious myself but I admire these men's conviction of their beliefs. You must really experience this band live. It is the only one who I have ever seen to leave a packed room completely silent with awe after finishing their set. You could hear a pin drop and it was from the sheer power emanated by these men. You don't have to be religious to appreciate how one feels about something. You just have to respect it. Besides, these are not your typical Christians. They drink heavily and are tormented by their religion. They are the huddled masses of humanity that religion was originally intended to serve. This record is a testament to a force that has helped these men through a life fraught with emotional as well as possible physical abuse. They are truly humble quiet men who play through the touch of their god. Like I said, you don't have to agree. You just have to respect what their beliefs allow them to produce. Because it is an awsome sound from the heart and soul of 3 real human beings.
