We all know TBR. Starbucks-drinking, Best Buy shopping, musically inclined guys...until Perceptions came out. This album is brand new, bringing new elements to their sounds as they reward the listeners.  To some of their songs, they bring a gentle, soft sound, but still keeping the trademark TBR sound. And then they bring back some of the old, such as yelling a chant at one point, or screaming at another. Which is why we love them, right?

Starting with Pain,  Olin sings of a long lost love, who feels hesitant to give their heart away to be broken again. Which I can imagine would reach out to some people. Next comes Surrender Saved My Life, which tells the tragic tale of a person addicted, hopeless, and feeling unworthy who finally finds hope in the form of a Savior. No Turning Back is my personal favorite, dealing with the biased nature of a evil greater than any other- society.

Mostly, this album touches on the issues of fighting sin in this world, and finding God in the darkness that shrouds us.
