Well, as Hawk Nelson's first album, I'd have to say it's VERY good. The songs are catchy, fast, and for the most part a good comfortable rock sound that most people should enjoy almost upon putting it in.

The only complaint I have about this CD is the lyrics. While they are fun, and sometimes deeply meaningful, I'm still dissapointed with the lack of God's name in lots of these songs. I would say, (lyric wise) your best bet in Christian "punk" is Stellar Kart, but these lyrics are definately deeper than just about any of Reliant K's "another Christian "punk" band" albums, and for that reason, I think you could do MUCH worse than picking up Letters to the President, as it is a lot of fun.

I had never heard of Hawk Nelson before I attended Winter Jam 2006 not too long ago, and I was impressed. They have very catchy songs, and it was amazing to see their bizzare personalities on stage. They sang 'Every Little Thing', which was very good, and 'Take Me' which is now one of my favorite songs. The beats they have in their music stick in my mind, I love them. Their music isn't purely Christian, however, they are leaning more towards the secular side of Christian rock. But, I would rather listen to secular Christian rock than regular rock. I enjoy listening to their music, and I will continue to follow them. Definately worth the money.

A good Chistian pop-punk band off the much underrated Tooth & Nail label. There's nothing really sparkling about this album. Anything but mature, but for its genre, this is actually a pretty good album for younger ears just getting into "rock" music. Decent melodies, lyrics do have present a message, and hey they're young so there's a lot of room for improvement.

Standout tracks are "Things We Go Through", "From Underneath", and the introspective piano ballad about the drama that goes with touring "36 Days".

For fans of Simple Plan, Relient K's old stuff, and Sanctus Real

I just want to say, that at first I just liked Hawk Nelson, but since getting their CD, I LOVE them. If you don't like Reliant K, Olivia the Band, Sanctus Real, or any band similar to those, I wouldn't suggest buying this. This is a very good CD, and it's nice because it's not overly rocky. I think that it's a perfect blend.
