Set It Off Reviewed by Keith Dow

I’m part Scottish, but even so — when I hear of TFK’s re-release Set it Off with its whopping 18 tracks, I know it’s worth my money. For the over-100,000 people who have fallen in love with Krutch’s latest Phenomenom, the Set it Off re-release will be like spending a day with TFK in a time machine.
From the new single “Everyone Like Me,” to 11 tracks from Set it Off and an additional five from their 1998 indie release, That’s What People Do, this album is a Krutch history lesson heading back to their independent Ontario-based roots.
Therap-core influenced tunes of Set it Off may be a surprise for anyone who has only heard Phenomenom, but diversity shines through from the energetic “Puppet” and “Supafly” to relational messages demonstrating God’s healing power in “When in Doubt” and “Small Town.” “Lift it” is an alternative worship song not easily forgotten. The five tracks from That’s What People Do bear a straight-up rock style demonstrating Krutch’s talent in raw form.
If you’re looking for a well-polished album akin to Phenomenom, this re-release is probably not your cup of tea, but if you want to enjoy the bare bones of Thousand Foot Krutch’s alternative rock and rap-core base, you’ll likely enjoy Set it Off. Plus, with 18 tracks, who can go wrong?
