In addition to my previous comments, I'd like to say that I had my doubts about this album when I first got it. Some of the elements are a bit much for a "christian" artist. While I realize that David makes no attempt to portray himself as a Christian, or Pedro as a Christian band, the focus of his lyrics and subject matter are crystal clear.
However, the more I listen to Control, the more I am thankful for a talent such as David's. The insightfulness and brutal honesty are quite refreshing in this world of throwaway pop music. I can always trust Pedro the keep my company in my moments of despair or depression with the knowledge that there IS something better, and indeed life IS meaningful as "Rejoice" laments.
