12 Stones, the hip "Christian" band to listen to. Not sure about the whole Christian thing, but this along with Switchfoot's release are perfect examples of how to make an album guranteed to make little 13 year old girls swoon over you and dominate the radio. Not sure why it hasn't worked as well for 12 Stones, most people have only heard of them through Evanescence, oooh two links to crappy music in one post, you know this isn't going to end well. Like the title states, the album is a simple formula for radio friendly hits, riffs heard a million times and lyrics that are far from awe-inspiring. Looking through my review history I've reviewed other CDs that follows the similar formula, the reason those may have gotten high marks? They do at least something unique, 12 Stones tries and falls flat on their face. 12 Stones receives a delightful F in my grade book.More "12 Stones" reviews:
