The Anatomy of Broken

by Chris Sligh

Overview

Chris Sligh's post-American Idol album Running Back to You did what it needed to do: it established him as a viable CCM artist outside of the realm of the show. Mission accomplished, Sligh signed with a subsidiary of Word, the largest CCM label in the U.S., then delivered the concept album The Anatomy of Broken in the fall of 2010. More ambitious in every way than its predecessor, The Anatomy of Broken aims for nothing less than a deep exploration of what it means to be human, why we are damaged -- i.e., "broken" -- and what we can do to heal. The album's conceptual nature, not just how the songs all revolve around a theme but how Sligh and co-producer Steve Bishir give the album a sonic unity, make The Anatomy of Broken a more cohesive, purposeful record than his debut. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
