Get It

Released in 1989 on A&M records and on Pakaderm/Word records. The album was nominated for a Dove award and had three number one singles and five top ten singles.
The late 1980s were the golden age of Christian hard rock and heavy metal. When the big-haired, bumblebee-attired rockers in Stryper struck platinum with 1986's To Hell With the Devil, a flood of new hard 'n' heavy Christian bands began popping up across the globe, all hoping to duplicate their successful combo of evangelism and Marshall amplification, and record producer John Elefante was in the perfect position to ride the Christian rock wave.
A seasoned veteran of the rock scene on both sides of the aisle (Christian and secular), Elefante had toured and recorded with classic rockers Kansas for several years in the early '80s before opening a recording studio with his brother Dino. The brothers made a name for themselves for the big, arena-ready "secular" sound they gave to albums by Christian rockers like Barren Cross, Petra, and Guardian and eventually they started their own record label, Pakaderm Records. One of Pakaderm's first signings was X-Sinner, a hard rockin' Christian quartet from Southern California whose debut album, Get It, immediately got lots of attention due to its sonic similarities to secular heavyweights like AC/DC, Cinderella, Kix, and Def Leppard.

I still remember when i first heard this album and just thought it really rocked. It was a long time ago. Yet I still love this album some 20 years later. the songs hearts on fire stepping on toes and lift him up are my three favorites.

I love this album! Reminds me of a mix between AC/DC and Def Leppard. Even though it was produced by the Elephante Brothers (Whom I love) with their famous arena rock sound, it still rocks. Next to Fear Not's album, this is one of my favorite album produced by them. My favorite songs in no particular order are; "Livin' On The Edge", "Medicine", "Hearts On Fire", and "Steppin' On Toes". This album rocks and you should GET IT if you don't already have it!
