None of the songs are overly preachy, so uh, shut up. :P
Meh. It's not that I have a problem with it, I'm open to it(probably buying Switchfoot and the Skillet song was a WWE PPV theme, so maybe...), but I think it's funny that all six singles are all from Christian rock bands.
Legacy on
Can we get the chemicals in. 'Cause anything's better than this.
Are they all on the same distributing label or something?
A quick check on Amazon says Superchick is with InPop, Skillet is currently with Atlantic, and Switchfoot's "Meant to Live" was released when they were with Columbia (their latest album was released by Atlantic). So this doesn't seem like a label-based thing.

To be fair, a lot of Christian bands drop the preachiness when they get big. Bands like Relient K and Evanescence.
The problem with Christian rock is that a lot of it is, musically speaking, pure crap. Why? Well, if you're a Christian and someone's doing the Lord's work, are you going to criticize them? Especially if you're the type of Christian who shuns secular music, and you don't really have an idea what good rock is. And so stuff that is crap thrives, and gives the world at large a bad impression of Christian music as a whole.
That said, there's a lot of good Christian rock out there, especially the artists that aren't concerned with cramming the maximum number of references to Jesus per minute as possible (or "praise" music, and yes, there are lots of people who shun Christian music if it has an insufficient number of references to Jesus per minute). I tend to like the ones that are more creative and subtle in their religious references, and the ones that fell like they don't have to make every song overtly religious. Hell, U2 is technically a Christian band, to give you one example.
So at least give it a listen before deciding it's crap.

A lot of music is preachy about various things
The problem with Christian rock is that it's absolutely boring bullshit

Though the six they chose are pretty good, I think.
