 2nd Album REAL Disappointment June 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
As a street team member and real lover of this bands first album, I counted the days until the new release and then bam, my heart was broken. The title track is the only song worth listening to. Never going back to ok is the only song worthy of the bands creative lyrics and sound. The rest of the album is the usual we have to sound like everyone else, CCM or bust! It is so terrible that all the new Alternative Christian Bands and Worship albums all sound the same, like something that fell out of Third Day's washing machine!
I tried desperately to listen to the cd one more time but couldn't make it through. I just have to hope they get the conformity out of their system and survive to make a third album. If it isn't good then it's over. Such a shame because their first release was the first cd ever that I actually love every single song. I guess that is to hard to top.
 This is more than OK.... May 17, 2008

I first heard the single "Beautiful Love" back in 2005, and then I was hooked on this band. The Afters are a great Alternative rock band. When I then heard the new single "Tonight" I thought ....this is awesome, I must have the new album. And so I did. The new album is more than OK. It's really good. Besides from the "Tonight" song I really like "Keeping Me Alive" and "Myspace Girl". So my advice to you, are..get the album its great. I'll give it a 3,5 of a total 5. //mikehell74

Finally, after three years and squeezing as much success as they could from their first album, I Wish We All Could Win, Texas rockers, The Afters are back. And their sophomore effort entitled Never Going Back to OK, was worth quite the wait.
The band gained much success with their first album, which made it hard to top it, but with Never..., they've outdone themselves. When I first listened to the new record, I didn't think much of it. It wasn't until I kept getting the catchy tune of the title track, "Never Going Back to OK", stuck in my head that I gave it a good listen. The Afters have kept their signature sound and passion for God intact, although here they have risen to a higher level of sound and quality.
Tracks like "Ocean Wide", "Tonight", and "Beautiful Words" will fancy fans of their first album. While on the title track and the song "Myspace Girl" the band turns up the beat creating foot tapping hits. It's too bad that it couldn't be warmer weather when this album released, it's set to be a "roll the windows down" rocker. The songs "We Are the Sound" and "Forty- Two" have a Switchfoot rock type of feel, but then the band slows down on passionate tracks "Summer Again" and "One Moment Away".
Singer Joshua Havens belts out clear, moving vocals that are accurately spiritual. On "Keeping Me Alive", Havens describes a deeper love of Jesus, telling us to be ourselves through Christ. On the cut, "Falling Into Place", the lyrics point out a rightness of belonging and how Christ fills our personal empty voids.
Even though it's been a long time since we've heard from these guys, Never Going Back to Ok is such a remarkable album. The Afters have honestly put together some beautiful tracks and soulful recordings as well as having grown in maturity as a group. Musically, lyrically, and spiritually this album hits all the marks, creating a standard for all future artists and listeners. The Afters are set to sprout more success with this release as they ascend into a higher level of respect among their peers and fans.

A great follow up to their debut album. They have matured alot and have amore polished sound on this album. Nice melodic rock albume with a mix of uptempo and slow songs. I love the title song and the song "Ocean Wide." Also the song "Myspace Girl" is a fun listen. Great songwriting on this album that really makes you stop and think.
 Fantastic 2nd Album, top 10 of 2008! March 4, 2008

I LOVE this album and this band. "Beautiful Love" from their debut was a monster success and I expect even bigger things from this 2nd album. "Never Going Back To OK" is one of those rock anthems you can't get out of your head (a good thing) and "Myspace Girl" is catchy and clever, and for me the other highlights are the tender "Keeping Me Alive" and the rocking "Tonight". It's early in the year, but I can't imagine this album not being top 10 of 2008!
