About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Alternative CCM group's depressing 1997 release with lyrics that suggest they're about a murder/suicide attempt. The actual goal of the album isn't quite clear, nor is there any indication whatsoever whether Chin is a real or fictional person. The pictures of an individual of Asian descent, presumably Chin, seem real enough. Neither liner notes nor the group's two main web sites offer any insight into the album's history or purpose. As a result, the listener is left entirely depressed and completely clueless as to what they were supposed to feel, if anything at all. It would probably be wiser to purchase one of the group's other albums as a starting point instead, since this one is so aimless. Dacia A. Blodgett-Williams, All Music Guide

July 25, 2004: Overall, this is a VERY strong album from a band who would go on to surprise everyone with mainstream success. Chem6A in particular is an anthem to the youth of America, calling out to the need to just relax every now and then. HIGHLY recommended.

June 26, 2004: The AMG review of this album was absolutely aweful. Instead of focusing their entire review on the album title, they should be reviewing the music. This is an independent record, so it seems a little less polished then The Beautiful Letdown. However, the originallity abounds and the album is amazing to listen to. More subdued (for the most part) than their newer releases, this cd is very creative, yet also flows easily. It is incredibly addicting and personal.
