CD Reviews

Their best Album yet
Matthew Clifton | Everett, WA | 03/10/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Honestly, I've never been a huge Pillar fan. I liked a number of songs off of their previous albums, but there were so many tracks that just didn't appeal to me at all, like they were underproduced or just filler songs. I went to the Pillar website a little while back and they mentioned that they believed this would be their best CD yet, and in the past they had written songs just to fill out the CD. When I first looked at the case and saw there were only 10 tracks, I was a bit disappointed, but I figured as long as they were all good songs it was totally worth it. After all, its rare that I find a CD with that many good tracks on it. This CD makes it sound like it was effortless. Every song is great, there isn't one song that I consistently skip. I can see people complaining about it because perhaps there is a lack of variety, but honestly, its different enough for me and this is exactly the style of music I love. If you liked Skillet's Comatose album (whose previous albums I didn't care much for also), I'm willing to bet that you'll like this CD as well."
The Return Of The Hard Rock Anthem
K. Fontenot | The Bayou State | 04/10/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"With so many rock bands out there trying to come up with the next anthem tune, it's nice to see that Pillar has returned to their anthemic ways with "For The Love Of The Game." This time around, Pillar is rocking harder and heavier and still manage to squeeze in some melodic tunes. Unlike their two previous albums, the late 80's/early 90's metal and hard rock influences bleed through. I can hear a little bit of Def Leppard and a whole lotta Skid Row (especially in "Reckless Youth," which borders on plagiarism). There are plenty of songs to shout to that beckon one to remember tunes like "Frontline." Some of the highlights of this album include the title track, "Get Back," "Turn It Up" and the wonderful "Smiling Down." My personal favorite tune is "State of Emergency."



Hard rock fans will rejoice with this album and its sound so rooted in hair metal and hard rock. This is not only an uplifting album, but a great album to relieve stress to. Highly recommended to anybody who loves great hard rock, nu metal, and hair metal."
Love Pillar but Too Many Mellow Songs!
C. Dietz | 03/01/2008
(4 out of 5 stars)

"I love Pillar, it's virtually the only thing I listen to while lifting in the gym, but there aren't enough songs on this album like "Bring Me Down", "Crossfire", "Echelon", etc... several are great "For the Love of the Game" is one of them.



Will most likely put the best hard songs on this album on a playlist with all of their other bests, "Fireproof", "Bring Me Down", "Epedimic", etc..



Jesus is Lord!!! and Pillar makes that known LOUD AND CLEAR!!!!!"
