The best pedro the lion record

"this is the album where pedro the lion really seems to mesh, from the first two tracks (criticism as inspiration and i am always the one who calls) to the beautiful rendition of be thou my vision, it works well throughout. so many beautifully honest lyrics (it makes me feel so good to always tell you when you're wrong, the big man that i am to always have to bring you down) that it will hit you every time you listen to it. i think this is my favorite pedro album because the music doesn't obscure the ideas, which is one downfall that i see in the recent lp. if you are more into their lyrics and the quiet simplicity of their music, then you will enjoy this album a great deal, especially if you want to hear about struggle (because that is what this album is all about, especially dealing with hypocrisy)."

Simply Perfection

"Call this emo if you want to, but David Bazan has created a style of music that is completely unprecedented in the Christian market. The simple truths that are presented in his lyrics are perhaps more inspiring and sincere than any others that I have heard. I would recommend PTL to ANYONE...anyone who can appreciate music. Not just hear it and say, "Hey, that's okay..." But to those who want to put in their CD, put on their headphones, close their eyes, and let themselves fall into the smooth tunes. It's incredible...take my word for it."

Simplicity works best with Pedro the lion

"As one of the lucky ones to have heard most of Pedro the Lion's material, I find that The Only Reason I Feel Secure EP is another simple Pedro CD that delivers for those who dig simplicity. The first track draws you in and the final track, though depressing is well worth the listen as it's a redone hymn. Pedro the Lion's material on this disc and other material tends to be on the slow and sad side, but it works...it just does something for me...its simple melodies are beautiful and so is this cd."
