In "O God Save Us All," Disciple serves up a half-and-half blend of sweet, old-fashioned groove metal and low-calorie radio rock. This dish ends up tasting like two potentially great dinners with the radio-ready entrees much more flavorful than almost all of their fellow Christian rock chefs' offerings and with the heavier stuff delivering a colorful and spicy range of metallic delights. All pained analogies aside, this jarring mix of hard and soft results in O God Save Us All having a slight identity crisis: to be radio-friendly, or not to be radio-friendly - that is the question that Disciple simply never asked themselves. Nonetheless, it is, in fact, fun - and in this struggling sub-genre, that is more than enough to make it stand out.
