Absolute big fan, though Good Time, indeed, is thoroughly average. Fun, but unremarkable.
As for whether Adam is a Christian or not... duh, he might be, considering he's made a zillion Christian songs, yah think? ;)
I geeked out when the first song on Wreck it Ralph (an ingenious and amazingly touching film, somewhat to my surprise) and that is very in tune with his earlier style, while still containing a lot of some of his newer directions. I and my sibs loved the song, and upon coming home, we watched the music video over and over until you'd think we'd be going crazy, but instead we loved it. Love him or hate him, Adam is a pro.

I really love that song too, PF! I listen to it every chance I get! Which might be to much, now that I think about it...

A lot of his songs sound like they have Christain references in them, like Alligator Sky(one of my favorites!) I really like owl city. Adam Young grew up in a small town in Minnesota called Owatonna. My cousins live there and one of them goes to his old high school where he signed a big poster and his locker there. It's pretty cool!

Okay, I think "When Can I See You Again" is much better than "Good Time". Truthfully, I kind of geeked out too when I heard it. My heart sort of jumped and swelled up like it always does when I hear a really good song. It's always a strange feeling, and it's the second time it's happened with an Owl City song, the first time being Fireflies. I'm cautiously optimistic about this guy's future in the musical world, as I believe The Midsummer Station was overall pretty disappointing. However, with cliche yet good songs like "When Can I See You Again?", I think Adam has a chance to get back on track.

Have you checked out the other demos and stuff he's been releasing on his blog? He's got some really cool sounding stuff coming out, I guess on the next record.

What fisrt struck me was his voice sounded different then anything I had heard before, and it was awesome. He is great, and I am sure he is some sort of Christian, my Christian radio station plays him, and what about this song? http://www.godtube.com/watch/?v=FJB0B1NU (One of my favorite songs, and not just of his) It's blatantly saying God is savior.

I love that song Arkán! One of my favorites is Hospital Flowers :D *sighs* I love how it's so melodramatic... It's so me! I also like Honey and the Bee... But that's just me ;)

In a recent Clubhouse Magazine High Voltage (I think it's called) Bob Smithouser says he really admires Adam, and he says a lot of good things about him. And yes, he is a Christian.

I have only heard one of Owl City's songs, but I loved it. I heard Fireflies on a website or in a store and ever since then I just loved how it sounded.
