Space in Between Us [Enhanced]

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Building 429 hit the Christian music charts forcefully in 2004 with the Glory Defined EP and the subsequent Space In Between Us full-length release. And unless you lived in a cave, you no doubt heard "Glory Defined" a million times on radio as the arena rock style of the band left its strong first impression. But one listen to "Free" from the EP and one has a sense of where Building 429 could have gone with its hard-charging, power chord attack. With strong lyrics and an impressive wall-of-guitars sound from lead man Jason Roy, Paul Bowden, and Jesse Garcia, the track is the best this expanded edition has to offer. Sonic cousin "One Time Too Many" shows a rare grit and is one of the release's most adventurous numbers. "Never Look Away", co-written by Roy and worship artist Jason Ingram, and "Shadows of Angels" are the other worthy highlights that will reasonate with listeners. Otherwise, the brand of rock served up is all too predictable and uninspiring, drawing obvious comparisons to Creed, Jeremy Camp, and Kutless. Whether the band plays it safe next time or reaches out for more creativity should determine its shelf life among a developing and growing number of Christian formulaic rock bands. –- Michael Lyttle

The best Christian music Album since "Jars of Clay"(self-titled).......2005-12-22

Let me preface this by saying that I'm an old school rock fan. That is I prefer good instrumentals over good or cool lyrics every time. That being said this easily the best Christian album I've heard in a long time. Note I didn't say this is the best album by a christian artist I've heard in a long time Savior by Skillet for example was a brilliant album especially if you like metal but it wasn't necessarily a great christian album that is to say that it didn't have any truely gripping or interesting socio-religious commentary.

This album really is a worship album for the 21'st century. Glory Defined is an incrediblly moving ballad that to be quite frank I'm almost a little suprised didn't get any air-play on main-stream radio. I haven't listened to this album enough to pick out details on indiviidual tracks yet but as whole this album is brilliantly produced and has touching religious lyrics that back up the instrumentals. As a Christian I think that it is important for people to listen to music with religious messages for most people the types of truly religious music such as choirs, hymns, and modern worship choruses can seem inaccessible but even so I think it's important that you listen to music that speaks to you that you can also enjoy. Literally whatever kind of music your into this is possible. If you don't believe me consider this. My favourite genere of music is british rock(for record the U2 is the greatest band of all time). A great british rock band that is also a great worship band I listen to is Delirious I could go on talking about other great bands that have written worship music in unlikely generes but it would be pointless. In conculsion if your looking for a christmas present this is a great worship/rock album buy it if that sounds in anyway enticing to you.

Im not a kid.......2005-10-10

In my opinion most of these songs sound the same. And One Time To Many is a blatant rip-off of Cadillac by Mest. The meanings are good but the music is very mediocre and boring. Just my opinion.

Starts strong, ends....not as strong.......2005-08-22

This cd opens up with their old skool creedish-like single Glory Defined which is a pretty good alt. rocker. Next up are the wonderful songs Above It All, The Space In Between Us (Best soft rock song of the year in my opinion) and the surprising hard rocker One Time Too Many. However, after the first 4 songs, the cd takes a dip for the worse. While none of the tracks towards the end are horrible they are just rather generic and seem to be lacking a certain hop. If the rest of the cd were like the first four songs I'd be giving this a 5+ on the rating system.

Great Lyrics, Great Sound.......2005-08-21

Prior to buying this album, I had only heard two of their songs, 'Glory Defined' and the title track.

The rest of the album contains songs that sound almost as good as those two. The entire album is full of songs with solid Christian lyrics and a very pleasant, energetic rock sound.

This is definitely a worthwhile album. I recommend it.

This CD is AWESOME!!!!.......2005-06-22

This CD has got to be one of the greatest Christain CDs this year. The only CDs that are better are Kutless (Strong Tower) and Phillips, Craig, and Dean (Let the Worshipers Arise), who are both hard to beat, but this is a close 3rd. I'm listening to it while I write this review. The three best songs (in this order) are "Shadow of Angels" (#6), "Glory Defined" (#1), and "The Space in Between Us" (#3). I highly reccomend this CD.

True to their name.......2006-03-19

Building 429's album truly reflects their mission statement.Their songs truly build for the edifying of the believer in Christ.This is one of my favorite contemporary cds.With each song there is something that we can each relate to in our everyday life.

This building rocks but defines itself in the more subtle moments.......2005-09-27

It's in their more subtle moments that Building 429 shines. Songs like "The Space in Between Us" and "No One Else Knows" are well-crafted, hook-laden pop/rock songs. The latter is a beautiful ballad, which is currently making its way up Christian radio. In the "Spirit Lives On" the band starts with a promising musical intro that unfortunately gets lost in the background.

Without wanting to take away anything from their break out hit "Glory Defined," it's songs like it that employ crunchy guitars that sound a little generic. Though the band sounds similar to a number of pop/rock Christian artists, those that enjoy Christian radio will find a number of songs that they can appreciate.

This extended edition has alternate versions of "Glory Defined," "No One Else Knows," a couple of previously out of print songs, and a rocking version of Chris Tomlin's "Famous One." The CD also includes the video for "Glory Defined." The additional songs don't add that much. Those who have the 12 song CD are better off waiting for the next release. This might be worthwhile for those who only have the original EP version.

It will be interesting to see if they can further define themselves on their next release. With a strong male vocalist, a good sound, some thoughtful lyrics and now a string of radio hits they have the opportunity to build on their success. This is a good start for a building in progress.

Just bought this title, HAD TO WRITE SOMETHING!.......2005-01-12

Definitely one of the best albums of 2004! If you like Coldplay, you'll love this one. Very, very solid album... put in your player and before you know it you're back at track 1.

Ain't by Numbers.......2004-02-24

Sanford Arms are another one of those bands who've drawn that line. Bands like American Music Club or The Pernice Brothers or The Sea & Cake or Luna...you know, the kind who record rich and luscious albums for early mornings, work days and wide-open Sunday drives. Then support those recordings with powerful, raw and gritty live performance in stinky rock bars. Yet, somehow, meticulously connecting the dots.

It's cool.

Listen to their albums. See them play. It's a tradition of artists who don't color within their own lines.

A Great Discovery.......2004-02-15

I recently heard a song or two by Sanford Arms on KEXP (I love internet radio!). I bought this record and it is amazing. It has so much depth and texture. I think they write really amazing songs. I have been listening to it non-stop since I got it on Tuesday. I recomend it to anyone who likes Mojave 3, The Flaming Lips, Coldplay, Wilco, Belle and Sebastion or Ryan Adams. I feel like I just made a new friend.
