Shaun Groves is part of an emerging cadre of songwriters in Christian music who are showing that intellect doesn't need to be checked at the door of the church. This bright debut of accessible pop-rock, ably produced by the masterful Monroe Jones, opens a lyrical window for us to "eavesdrop" on Groves's conversations with God. The dialogue is honest and refreshing as Groves shares his self-doubt in "Should I Tell Them," the confessions of "Damage Done," and his hopes for eternity in "After the Music Fades." The ground-shaking rock anthem of "Satellite" is one of the release's highlights, as is the subsequent track, "Your Renown," Groves's eloquent and dream-like statement of personal faith. Eavesdrop is a solid debut and another feather in the cap of Michael W. Smith's Rocketown label. --Michael Lyttle

Amazed.......2005-02-22

I have seen Shaun Groves in concert twice and like the prize of a fat man at a pie eating contest he won me (without firing a punch). When I started listening to Christian music, I was oblivious to the shocking lack of authenticity that persists in that realm of music. I have never been to a Christian concert that quite matches up to that of Shaun Groves. His music is so awesomely genuine and transparent it often leaves me in chills. It is like someone opened me up and poured me out on a page. After listening to CCM for years, I can often spot a fake and the fact that Shaun Groves relates with his audience trhough his music makes his music all the more amazing. I love listening to his music until my ears would normally bleed. He is so underated and the critics don't know what a gem he is. When a singer doesn't care if he is liked, but composes his music regardless, the product, despite its flaws, contains such a deep quality that it is almost impossible for it not to be good. Shaun Groves surpasses good in Twilight. I love listening to it for its quality in music as well as the quality of the artist behind it.

Shaun Groves way of letting himself known.....works..........2002-10-22

Invitation to Eavesdrop has one of the most talented worship solo voices that I have may ever heard. This cd from track one to track 10 leaves no thought that Shaun (the lead singer) wants all that listen to this cd to hear his passion for the Lord and wants it to bleed onto them also. To give you a quick tour of this cd.
Track one Shaun in a very up beat musical questioneable way is asking God "What should I do with all these none believers?" The title of it is Should I tell them.
Track two Damage Done is a song that describes a incident possibly that Shaun had with a friend and how that incident has drawn them both so far apart and how he is sorry and convicted for what he has done.
Track three Welcome Home is a transition in the cd were Shaun takes a step back and explains that he is not perfect nor is he near this state, but that the Lord is always in work in his life and that he is always coming back to his heart. This song proclaims that Christ does live within us and shaun is aknowledging this and making it known that he knows this.
Track four Two Cents is moreless shaun telling what he thinks about many things.
Track five Move Me discusses the idea of that Shaun wants to do something in the world and yet he doesn't know what to do and so this song is kinda a prayer that God would move him and tell him what it is that he should do.
Track six Satellite talks about how God presence and spirit is the center of Shaun's life and focus. This is very good up lifting song for those still seeking.
Track seven Your Renown takes a path of where Shaun asks God to make is path way straight and always be with him and whatever happens that he will not turn around for another.
Track eight Abba Father is one of the most passionate songs and almost a son telling a father how much he loves him and how much he needs him. This is a tear jerker.
Track nine After the Music Fades is a worship song that talkes about simply that worshiping God is not just about music and that when the music fades that he will still be in worship.
Track ten Last Notes simply talks about how when Shaun's life shall end that he shall be in heaven that he is fearless of that thoght.
In Conclusion this cd is a must for everyone. There is something for everyone and even those that are not christians. Do yourself a favor and find this cd and listen to it...esspecially if you have read this whole review:)

Invitation to Eavesdrop.......2002-04-24

I didn't know about this guy when i first saw him in concert but when he played i was hooked immidietly!! He makes all his songs from his heart and is very honest and sincere. He is a great role model for other Christians. His songs get the point across and are very awesome. Everyone should have this CD.

Great album!.......2002-04-22

I saw Shaun Groves on tour with Jars of Clay and Jennifer Knapp recently. I had heard some of his songs on the radio, but when I heard him in concert, I was touched. So I went out and bought the album, and I was not disappointed! On the contrary, I was very pleased. His songs are so beautiful and so sincere; you can tell they come from the depths of his soul, and every person listening to these songs can relate to them. This is truly a great album. A great suggestion for anyone looking for an album full of intelligent, beautiful, artfully-done songs!

NOWHERE TO GO BUT UP!.......2002-03-16

This has to be one of the best CD's I have ever purchased! From the time I first heard Welcome Home, I knew this guy was different! From now on, I do believe I am hooked! YOU WILL NOT REGRET BUYING THIS CD!

After earning six Dove Award nominations for his critically acclaimed Invitation to Eavesdrop, Shaun Groves has a hard act to follow. Groves shows no sign of any sophomore slump with his outstanding follow-up. There's a reflective, contemplative tone throughout the release. Groves displays great interest in those moments where we find ourselves between light and dark, a theme that's captured well on the title track and "Need You More," with its lyrical references to "shades of gray" and its musical references to fellow Texas native Ricky Nelson's "Garden Party." Other shining moments include the heart-tugging ballad "Without You" and the dreamy, Lennonesque "Jesus." Groves switches gears on the rockers "See You" and "I Love You," both of which are bound to radio hits. And "God of Us" is yet another Christmas song with a slightly new way of telling an age-old story. Don't miss the hidden worship-oriented bonus track. Twilight is intelligent, thoughtful, and beautiful. --Michael Lyttle

Adventuresome .......2006-09-14

My first time hearing Shaun Groves was at a show on tour for his record Twilight with Ginny Owens at our church, and I was pleasantly surprised with his writing and songs. We bought Twilight, which is a great record in its own right, but Invitation to Eavesdrop is a bit more engaging in my opinion. The songs have lots of interesting chord changes and melodies, with enough nicely unexpected melodic twists to make them feel comfortable yet with room to grow on you. The string arrangements add a lot of nice depth, the instrument tones and vocal harmonies are all well done. Songs like Should I Tell Them, Damage Done, Welcome Home, & Your Renown all stick like glue after only hearing them a couple times. The musical palette is a familiar acoustic guitar-based pop-rock, but Shaun's writing stands out from 95% of all others. And like I mentioned, the string arrangements help flesh out these tunes to give them a very expansive, rich feeling. All that plus some very inspiring lyrics. Blessings to Shaun.

Great Christian Soft Rock.......2005-09-02

Shaun Groves is a very talented soft rock artist. His lyrics are Christian throughout. His sound is very pleasant.

There are no bad songs on this CD. There are several very good to excellent songs. My favorites on this album are the following: Move Me, After the Music Fades, Abba Father, and Welcome Home. He wrote all of the songs on this album and his songwriting talents are top notch.

I highly recommend this CD for any Christian music fan.

my favorite.......2003-04-08

This is one of those cd's you get hooked on and listen to over and over again. Great songs with messages that make you look within and inspire your faith and love for Jesus.

incredible debut.......2003-02-25

I first heard Shaun Groves when he was the opening act at a Jennifer Knapp/ Jars of Clay concert. I thought he was decent, but wasn't completely impressed. I saw him later on that same tour and was more impressed by him so I decided to take a major leap of faith and buy the cd. It was one of my best purchases. While he is pretty good in concert, this debut cd blows much of what I've heard recently out of the water. It is just that good. Radio singles include "Welcome Home" "Move Me" "After the Music Fades" and "Satellite". For me, the most moving tracks are "Should I Tell Them", which deals about the fear involved in talking about Christ, "Damage Done", and "Two Cents". All in all, this is one of the best cds in my collection and is clearly one of the best of the year it was released. Top of the line Christian music, and just good music in any category.

A Heart for God.......2003-02-04

Heard him in concert sing most of these songs. Fabulous, honest, sincere. Truly seeking God. A step above most contemporary Christian Music.
