Silverline is what I like to call a “tweener” band, one that could really go either way. Bore things down a bit and they’d be nothing but an ignorable CCM band. Amp things up a bit and they could really rock the party like House of Heroes, Letter Kills or Ivoryline. It really depends on where they want to go with things, but this ep certainly shows some amount of talent for writing some legit alternative/pop rock songs.
The thing that gets me is that Silverline has a song in “Start to Believe” that should make any indie rock fan happy, but then they can follow it with a pop song like “Wake the Nations” and then mix in a worshipful song like “All Consuming Love”. When a band is all over the place like that, it is difficult to figure out what they are all about, at least musically. Their message, however, is very clear, talking openly about the strength they find from the Lord and their absolute need for Him. With God, they feel like they can do anything without hesitation.
Overall, there isn’t really a bad song on this album, making for a splattering of entertaining, yet straight forward pop rock ep. The lyricism is forthcoming on their faith, but could use a bit more imagination and creativity in order to separate themselves from the pack.
