Perhaps it's just me, but I feel alot of Christian music is out of date. I also feel that it is always attempting to convert people by the lyrics they use, which aren't subtle at all, but sometimes so outwardly over spiritual that it gets sickening to listen to. I can't stand listening to KTIS anymore. I think that Christian music's lack of subtlety most definitely is a result of the artist's musical motivations being outweighed by their religious impetus. Consider Linkin Park. They were a rock group comprised of Christians who managed to make music that meshed with their lifestyle without sounding preachy or evangelizing. They didn't feel a need to convert souls. A few years ago, Mase, a rapper, released a mostly good album by not letting his conversion get the best of his music, though his Christian perspective did permeate most of the album. We could be leaders in the whole music industry. But people need to get away from the fears and the traditionalism.
