"The city of Rotterdam in the Netherlands was bombed during WWII and the main part of the city was completely destroyed. At that time, a Russian/French sculptor saw the wasteland and dubbed it “the city without a heart.” However, the spirit of Rotterdam was determined to “…go on, eyes firmly fixed on the present and the future, and not to linger in the past.” As a result, architects were presented with the  opportunity to reconstruct the heart of Rotterdam from scratch and so they did. As it stands today, Rotterdam is an old city with a
new heart. This is the analogy for Christians; the enemy’s goal is to destroy mankind and he has been partly successful through Adam’s original sin. However, that is not the end of the story, through Jesus’ death and resurrection, mankind has the opportunity to be reconstructed with a brand new heart. Spreading this message through music, whether directly or indirectly, is the goal and desire of the band A Rotterdam November."

It is this story that takes you inside the debut album from A Rotterdam November in which the intro track is full of an army at battle and then drops forcefully into "City Without A Heart" like a bomb.It is the perfect song to kick of this album and could lead to a very successful career for A Rotterdam November. This track pretty much stands out over every other single track . It catches your attention to the talent of this new band. Another stand out song is "Breaking For You" . With strong melodies and a worshipful rhythm, this song will most certainly take you to a worshipful state of mind. The lyrics in every song stand out as battle cries for spiritual warfare we as Christians are engaged in. Every song from track 1 to the end is a solid awakening of the meaning of Christian Rock as well as a love song to our Savior. A Rotterdam November deserves every bit of a 4.5 out of 5.0 .
