For the Love of the Game CD

Pillar's For The Love Of The Game is big, fun, infectious rock and roll that further solidifies their position as fearless leaders in the Christian Rock world. Featuring the #1 single title track, Pillar's seventh studio album cranks out high-energy riffs and shout-out-loud choruses filled with lyrics of courage, strength, and faith rooted in Christ.

UNASHAMED TO ROCK FOR CHRIST

Contemporary Christian music and ’80s era metal might seem like strange bedfellows, but one listen to Pillar’s For the Love of the Game will erase those notions. This hook-heavy disc features a slew of high-energy rock anthems, a few power ballads, and just enough of the band’s old rap-rock stylings thrown in to keep older fans happy.

While the CD awakens memories of a musical time gone by, it also pays homage to the world of contemporary Christian music. Pillar is unabashedly unashamed of their place in the Christian music industry, and they aren’t afraid to wear their faith on their sleeves as they call on listeners to do the same. This is particularly evident in the title track, as well as songs like “State of Emergency” and “Get Back.” Meanwhile “Turn it Up” provides us with a CCM version of “Name That Tune,” featuring lines from 34 different artists, ranging from Michael W. Smith to Disciple.

With For the Love of the Game, Pillar and producer Travis Wyrick have created an album that could generate plenty of hits for Christian radio, and will have you singing along loudly while pumping your fist in the air.

This album is fantastic. There are so many bands and singers that are supposedly singing rock music but it all seems like it should fit into the pop genre. It's nice to see a band who actually wants to truly ROCK!!! On top of that it's so great that they use their gifts to show their faith!!!!!! It rings in every song. Wonderful.

*I'm a bit disapointed with this cd. "Where do we go from here" and "Fireproof" are far better.*

Good CD I love Pillar they're my favorite band but this CD is only about half rock and more on the Contemp side and that's a disappointing to see them go the Kutless route, instead of maybe only having a couple soft songs like on Disciple's Scars Remain

Its a good CD but I like the album "WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE" from Pillar better than this one but I'm not saying its not good, I like it but its just not the best.

Brillant! I have liked the odd song on previous pillar albums, but I can honestly say that 5 on this one I listen to time and again

Awesome. Pillar never fails to uplift and rock the house. My four year old says "Daddy this is my favorite."

I have long been a fan of Pillar. I am encouraged by a rock group who are not only unashamed of their faith but let others know by their music.

I liked this album right away the first time I listened to it. If you like Pillar's other stuff, very close. Hard, driving riffs (actually better than some of their "old" stuff). Nothing earth shatteringly different or new, but a pretty solid album. You can tell with each album they are evolving, the instruments and vocals are pretty tight and polished on this effort.
