Reviews For "One Sided War"
Outstanding

I normally did not care much for Michael Sweet solo music outside of Stryper - odd huh, but this new album is fantastic. The use of non-stryper guys gives the music a different feel with a hint of ratt. Much harder than previous releases. So far my favorite song is "Who am I" which from the lyrics is about failing God or his wife but very personal and can relate to each of us in struggles with God or people in general. It is a ballad and will stand the test of time as a great song.
