Okay, am I the only Tourniquet fan in the world who actually likes this album? Almost every review I hear tears this album to shreds. Sure, it is not the thrash we all know and love from these guys but is it really such a horrible album? Crawl To China, White Knuckleing The Rosery, Imaginary Friend, If Pigs Could Fly, Tire Kicking, Claustrospelunker, and Crank The Knife are, IMO, good hard rock songs with a dose of metal thrown in. As a matter of fact the only song I really can't stand is America (Bats is not that good but I do find it pretty catchy). Maybe since this was only my second Tourniquet album during a time when I was trying to get a hold of only Christian music (Christian metal was hard to find so I developed a taste for SOME non-metal Christian music) I am less biased than someone who followed them through their career.

I like it ok enough. But its definately not my first choice when I go to pull out a TqT album to listen too.

I like C2C very much alot, but having been a fan since 1990, I have always felt that the '94-98 years were kind of a lul, maybe they had to find themselves again. Every band seems to go through a period where they just arent themselves, ya know. I do love the two tracks on Collected Works alot, and I like Vanishing Lessons and the Carry e.p., but theyre last couple albums are definately back to the legendary stuff IMO.
Overall, they have had a great musical career, legends in christian metal.

Crawl...had a few good moments, but I ultimately had to trade it off...

It's ok. Not my favorite Tourniquet release. It has some good songs and some I don't like at all.

I've been with Tourniquet since they were called Holy Danger back in the 80s! I love them. "Crawl to China" is a good album. I still have my copy and do listen to it from time to time. Perhaps it's my least favorite album from them, but I still like it!

I think if the album didn't have two of the slower songs and the instrumental at the end, it would actually be better. When I burned my original I took the songs "If I was There," "The Tell-tale heart," and "America" out and it became a much more compact and enjoyable listen. 12 songs at a bit of 50 minutes vs. 15 songs at close to 70 minutes makes a big difference.

I like the songs "Envoleped in Python" and "White Knuckling the Rosary" but overall it's a dud.

My favorite Tourniquet album will probably always be "Stop the Bleeding". They raised the bar too high for themselves with that debut.

I like the music pretty well. It's much better than Vanishing Lessons. The album cover was awful (but kinda clever).
