The Petra Zone

Sometimes simple songs make a bigger impact. Bob must have thought it was good enough, he wrote it after all. That's true. We Exalt Thee is about as simple as it gets and it works for me. It may not be a bob composition but they did record it. On BTTR I've pretty much become obsessed with Grave Rob...

The lyrics are a little elementary. It sounds a lot like a weak praise song written by the local music pastor. Petra can and does a lot better than this one.

By the way people, has anybody seen a dvd that was released by Eric Holmberg of The Apologetics Group several years ago called Hells Bells II - The Power & Spirit of popular Music? It is a sequel to Hells Bells - The Dangers Of Rock & Roll, released sometime in the late 80's. This dvd runs for abou...

Its funny how people reason as to why it’s ok to listen to stuff like that. Yet those who were there and lived it and came out of that and got delivered from it are very open and will tell you exactly what it is. Jim Morrison stated several different times he was controlled by a spirit. Zepplin was...

There would be nothing sweeter than for a full blown Classic Petra and regular Petra reunion. Ahhh, Now I'll wake up.

They updated the Classic Petra website to include the new releases at the startup page, yay!

Buggy, like what? I wasn't aware that it was up around 60%. Still, money in money out when it comes to an investment and they need volume! Buggy like constantly asking me to unlock a song purchased years ago. Buggy as in really bad burning software. Annoying as in what is the need for aac files? Th...

Really, why's that?

Because I find Itunes to be extremely buggy, and I still hold the previous DRM against them. Also, I hear the cut is closer to 60%.

Here goes nothing- even with the horrible mouth to mouth I'm downloading it anyway. The album may need to be renamed "Back to the Pop Rock."

Yeah "Our Turn Now" was a Carmen/Petra collaboration although I suspect it was more Carmen than anything else. The video had good production values but there's something about seeing John in his skin tight pants walking around a high school that bothers me:)

If given the choice between purchasing from Itunes or the artist I'll choose the artist 10 out of 10 times.

Anytime someone blames a tragedy on prayer in school it really irks me. A perfect example is the Petra Carmen debacle. A lousy song with a horrible message. It starts with the following fake news bulletin: "Good evening. This is Charlene Lewis for the 6:00 news. Today, June 25, 1962, the Supreme Cou...

I thought it sounded ridiculous. We were chatting up the show and he said he never bought cd's because he had already purchased the cassettes. I mentioned the difference in sound quality and he repeatedly stuck to his guns saying that he could make it sound better than cd. Right about that time I go...

I was talking to a guy at a Stryper show who said he could take his old cassettes and remaster them in his pc and they would sound better than a cd. Didn't sound likely.

I totally understand why a person can be good enough for the road but not good enough for a recording. A lot of guitar players are really lousy but that doesn't stop the band from being successful, same fot the drums. That happens all the time. My only gripe is that the drums, whoever plays them, on...
