Musical Style
As a whole, Casting Crowns has been observed as having a Christian rock, pop rock and rock sound. Some critics noted that the album sounds somewhat similar to the work of Chapman. The album's main instrumentation consists of guitar, keyboard, and violin. The album's lyrics, which have been described by music critics as "bold" and "straightforward", take an approach which was described by Russ Breimeier of Christianity Today as a "no-nonsense approach... tell it like it is, simply and with conviction".

Famous quotes containing the words musical and/or style:
“Fifty million Frenchmen can’t be wrong.”
—Anonymous. Popular saying.
Dating from World War I—when it was used by U.S. soldiers—or before, the saying was associated with nightclub hostess Texas Quinan in the 1920s. It was the title of a song recorded by Sophie Tucker in 1927, and of a Cole Porter musical in 1929.
“The authoritarian child-rearing style so often found in working-class families stems in part from the fact that parents see around them so many young people whose lives are touched by the pain and delinquency that so often accompanies a life of poverty. Therefore, these parents live in fear for their children’s future—fear that they’ll lose control, that the children will wind up on the streets or, worse yet, in jail.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
