Concept and musical style

At live shows in 2010, the band claimed that Crazy Love will be very fast, and much more of a throwback to their first album Letters to the President . Guitarist Jon Steingard claims on his blog that it's "the most high-energy Hawk Nelson record ever. I'd even cautiously say it's more high-energy than our first album, Letters to the President." [1]
