ahhh SUCH a great group! I LOVE The real sin savior! They do Christian parodies of other songs... and do a GOOD job at it!

there are some free downloads on their website..

Pretty cool :thumb:. I think my parents have a copy of one of their CD's. I really want to see what they did with 'In the End'.
"Have mercy on me O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion, blot out my transgressions" Psalm 51:1

"Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth, you will again bring me up." Psalm 71:20

Their songs are good and bad. For instance I like thier parody of Kryptonite and Angel but then they have some really crappy songs that just feel like they are trying to be funny or creative.

I think they are great too - I have two of there CDs. They have clever lyrics in their songs. It's fun going through the list of songs they've done to try to work out the original just from reading the title (some of them take a few times of reading it aloud to get it - others I didn't know the original in the first place). The Eminem songs tend to be the best production quality, so I like them too.
Now I've forgotten most of the words of the original songs after listening to them :lol: (for some of them that's a good thing!).

It's over the top some times. Like the song "Story of a Squirrel". I get the meaning and all but the wording is just annoying.

I am happy what they are doing but some of thier songs have much to be desired for.

I like their work and affirm their musical ability (at least, their ability to copy other artists). However, I can't say I enjoy all of their music, because they parody so many songs that I wouldn't want to listen to in the first place.

I have picked up a few tracks, and the quality seems varied. Some are really good (One Way, Bethlehmian Rhapsody) and some just aren't that listenable (How You Rewind Me). Defniatley support what they are doing, just looking for a little more consistantcy.

Bethlehmian Rhapsody is indeed one of the best, as well as one that had me laughing out loud

The only song of theirs that made me laugh out loud is "Downer of a Sister". Most of the rest are just kind of clever. And some suck.
