Leeland Opposite Way

Leeland's sophomore album, Opposite Way, was released amid its share of hype. Hype that is expected among the Christian music sector and all too often without warrant. This album is a classic example of the sophomore album. The songs are unequivocally corporate (see: sell-out) and unoriginal. Their first album was worshipful and thoughful. Opposite Way is a wanna-be. You can compare them to Switchfoot, Relient K, and the like. And, following in the footsteps of those before them, one can be sure that it is only a matter of time before Leeland moves to mainstream radio.

Good: countless tweens and teens will buy the album

Bad: those looking for something creative or new will not get into it
