Where Do We Go from Here
Christian Century, Nov 30, 2004 by Louis R. Carlozo
Where Do We Go from Here, by Pillar (Flicker). Hard rock.
Like P.O.D., Project 86 and Creed, Pillar has established itself by blending what might seem like contradictory forces: serrated, driving textures (with a good measure of screaming thrown in) and unabashed expressions of faith. On "Here," the four-member band does a good job of mixing up melodies and harmonies in ways that are often more Beatlesque than brutal; "Holding On'" contains a jaunty chorus that latches nicely to the roller-coaster chorus. Pillar takes a gentler path on "Rewind," a minor-key meditation on redemption that's anchored by acoustic guitar and a distant backing swirl of electric guitar feedback.
