Co-produced by the great Aaron Sprinkle, G.I.gantic has a stripped-down, indie sound to it. It's described in the press materials as punk rock, but it's really classic new wave punk rock reminiscent of Elvis Costello & the Attractions, The Clash, Squeeze, and Joe Jackson. It's also pretty similar to Hi-Fi Revival, the one of the most recent Supertones discs, only without the horns.
While the album is stylistically similar to Hi-Fi Revival, it's also a little more varied sounding. By removing the horns and relying more heavily on the guitar and rhythm section, Grand Incredible sounds that much more like the classic bands that inspired them in the first place. The majority of the music is irresistibly catchy classic rock from the late '70s and early '80s, slowing only for a handful of tracks. The romantic 6/8-time rock ballad "Right Time" is a prayer to the Lord for patience in waiting for a soul mate. "Corner of the Sky," a gentle and lonely expression of homesickness, sounds more like Lost Dogs than The Supertones , and "Forgiveness Again" bears resemblance to the folksy California rock of The Eagles or Jackson Browne.

Salvation
Grand Incredible Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
About your souls' condition or your spiritual health
But you don't think about it very often cause it makes you uneasy
You know that I love you and I love to see you smile
But we must discuss a matter serious a while
You may be offended but there's something I wish you could have
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
You matter to me so much that I have to take a risk
Of having you get mad at me I'd hate for you to miss
The loving of Jesus and his voice that's calling you home to him
The first thing you have to come to term with it is this
You're dead in your transgressions and I'm sorry hell exists
But you don't have to go there if Jesus is taking your place
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
Salvation (Salvation), you are forgiven
