From the outset it is clear that this album is quite a departure from the band's record label debut. 'We Are Not Alone' has a more mature emotional fluency than its predecessor with superior musicianship and tight 'n' right production. Put simply, this album demonstrates Storyside:B are up there in he Switchfoot and Kutless class. Alongside tracks expounding unwavering faith and commitment such as "I Give You Me" the band address the weak nature of the human race, temptation and the boundless love and support that is always extended from God. "Help me, I'm caught between demons and angels" is undoubtedly a position most of the band's audience have or will find themselves in at some point. The anthemic "Be Still" and the moving "All Along" remind that even in these times, "We Are Not Alone" and "Sister" sends a well needed message of support to young women facing the trials of the world. Powerful guitar riffs, choral arrangements and ballads collide to create a well balanced and inspirational release from a band undoubtedly heading for big things.

I couldn't agree more with this review. I loved their first
album and actually was given an opportunity to meet the
guys. The drummer, Jordan is an outstanding drummer and what
an inspirationhe was to me as I could see the love of God
shine through him. I am an aspiring drummer wannabe and he
listened and encouraged me. This album is full of great
music. I loved the pianos, the violins and the drums and the
chorus in Be Still. Great job guys.
