Critical reception

Joshua Galla from New Release Today said, "Planetboom achieved something few other bands and artists have, a unique sound. No other band sounds like Planetboom regardless of the track. It's memorizing. It's unique. It's over-the-top. It's everything I never knew my ears and soul needed. I adore all of the various instrumentation and eclectic soundscapes. This is one of the few albums I've listened to 10-plus times in less than a month’s time. I hope other youth group bands follow the creative mold Planetboom has set going forward." [5] Tracy Epperson from Faith Filled Family Magazine said, "There is no denying this album is written by Christ enthusiasts. This music makes me want to dance and sing loudly; its sound is uplifting and inspirational. The message is about redemption, overcoming and about being loved; altogether it elevates the soul. The music covers a gamut of genres from Christian pop to Christian rock and rap to trap, Christian EDM and easy listening anthems. Whew. With that said, I’d say that K-Pop is the predominant vibe. It is modern music with Christ centered lyrics." [6]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Contemporary Christian music</span> Genre of modern popular music

Contemporary Christian music (CCM), also known as Christian pop, and occasionally inspirational music, is a genre of modern popular music, and an aspect of Christian media, which is lyrically focused on matters related to the Christian faith and stylistically rooted in Christian music. Originating in the United States, it was formed by those affected by the 1960s Jesus movement revival who began to express themselves in other styles of popular music, beyond the church music of hymns, gospel and Southern gospel music that was prevalent in the church at the time. Initially referred to as Jesus music, today, the term is typically used to refer to pop, but also includes rock, alternative rock, hip hop, metal, contemporary worship, punk, hardcore punk, Latin, electronic dance music, R&B-influenced gospel, and country styles.

The Christian music industry is one aspect of the broader music industry, with a focus on Christian music and subgenres such as gospel music, southern gospel, contemporary Christian music, contemporary worship music, and even traditional church music. It is sometimes called the gospel music industry, a narrower term that does not encompass all the musical genres included here.

Christian ska is a form of Christian alternative rock, and subgenre of ska and ska punk which is lyrically oriented toward contemporary Christian music. Though ska did not constitute a genre within the Christian music industry until after third wave ska had peaked in the general market, Christian ska continued to thrive independently into the early 2000s.
