This is an excellent CD. Chris delivers great vocals and lyrics that are intelligent and can be heard. The melodies soon become favorites. Overall a well polished and well performed CD. It soon became my favorite. Thanks Chris!

One of the best CD's i've listened to in a long time. It's one of those CD's where every song is really really good. I'd say out of all the tracks, I only skip 2. I wholeheartedly recommend this CD to everyone.

Chris Sligh has done it! What a great album for the whole family. The songs, Arise, Cry Tonight, In a moment, and the single Empty Me...all are phenomenal! The whole album is fun to listen to and awe inspiring.
I agree with some of the other reviewers that many of these songs could be cross over hits...however Chris' faith permeates the album
If you want to hear some pre-Idol Chris Sligh with his great band Half Past Forever check out their album...it to is great to listen to.

I bought this album on a whim because i know so many people who know Chris and I thought I'd check him out. I'm very picky about my music and I feel lucky if I find a CD with more than 4 tracks I actually listen to... I loved this CD. There is maybe one track that I skip, and overall it is one of the most creative I've ever heard, especially the mix for "Loaded Gun" which is amazing.

Sorry to have to say it, but in my opinion this album ain't that great. I was excited to see Chris Sligh's music being sold on the Christian circuit but a little dissapointed in how safe it is played off as being a Christian album. If there are any Christian themes within the lyrics it's very subtle, but it's art and it's whatever you make out of it so thats not really a big deal. But then I was even more dissapointed with the music. American Idol fans might enjoy this record but I personally did not. To me it sounds like a cheesy pop parody of an American Idol soundtrack. It's like the main purpose of the album was to use as background music for the show. I have to wonder if some big shot producer just made the album and told Chris Sligh to sing it giving him no leeway whatsoever. With Sligh's image I was expecting either a punk influenced record or at least something hard rock. I was hoping Chris Sligh would be this big breakout artist who would be a refreshing depart from the mundane pop rock that is out there right now. But Running Back To You is none of those things. Instead, it sounds like an over-produced pop rip off of Daughtry and Kelly Clarkson. Some of the melodies are catchy but that is about it.
