 Jesusfreakhideout.com: 38th Parallel, "Turn the Tides" Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
38th Parallel blends the rock rap vocals Christian music has come to know from bands like Pax217 with honest, Christ-centered lyrics that you'll find in such songs as "Three Times Denied." In fact, there are quite a few similarities between Pax and 38th Parallel.
But what makes 38th sound so much like Linkin Park is they use the same aggressive rapcore vocals blended occasionally with boy-band harmonies.
So while 38th is nothing new to our ears, they offer a decent debut with Turn the Tides and a positive release for those tired of the trite angst of secular counterparts.
