Editorial Reviews

Product Description

"Thrifty mr. Kickstar" was dryve's first national release which showcases dryve's musical dynamics and diversity, profound lyrics, and well crafted songwriting talents. The sound has been compared to the obvious being The Wallflowers, Tom Petty, and R.E.M. but it also had the occasional bite of a Led Zeppelin or Zoo-T.V. era U2. For many, "Thrifty..." is one of those well rounded albums in the top ten favorites list somewhere next to Abbey Road,The Joshua Tree, and Hotel California.

Review

The idea that we don't need more people to write Christian books but rather more Christians to write books on all subjects with their beliefs intact is attributed to C.S. Lewis, but it applies to a strand of emerging bands such as Dryve. Some bands seem to start out writing with their parameters set to make Christian music. Other bands seem to start out writing great music and poetry and the end result is Christian music. Some may see the difference as small, but it can make all the difference in the world--especially if christians are ever to be culturally relevant to society. Dryve is one of those bands who seems to go about the business of writing great music and poetry, allowing their beliefs to show through.

Sometimes cryptic, sometimes clear, the lyrics on Thrifty Mr. Kickstar nearly always leave something to chew on, distinguishing this release from the quickly digestible lyrics of many fast food bands. On their debut, Dryve delivers tunes about life and relationships, both vertical and horizontal. They lament the loss of innocence, and offer prayers and thoughts about people in their lives, in our lives.

I know it sounds like I've just gushed all over my keyboard about this album, but it really is that good. Hearing is believing. If you like modern folk rock a la the Wallflowers, you're gonna believe, too -- Ed Rock

5.0 out of 5 stars Listen to Rain with your eyes closed
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2004
This is one of the most amazing albums I have ever heard. The simplicity of some of the songs makes them all that much more powerful. Listen to rain with your eyes closed, I can't explain the effect that it had on my life. It's amazing. God blessed them with their talent, and even though they are no longer a band, we have this music forever captured.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great album of the world's greatest band ever!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 27, 2003
Dryve has such a distinct, unique sound. Their music incorporates more unusual instruments not found in the majority of today's music, such as hammond organ, harmonicas, mandolins, and horns, with contemporary guitars and bass, etc. The songs are so uplifting, positive, and fun to dance to too. Everyone should have this album!
