Reviews
Stay can be classified under the mainstream rock kind, but its edge is in its lyrical content. The message of the songs points to having an unchanging faith despite any adversity, which serves as an encouragement to those struggling and broken. It's a solid pop/rock project with solid spiritual substance. -- jamie 05:27, 10 January 2007 (PST)
