Releasing their fourth studio project that embodied everything fans know as Hawk Nelson, the band's "Live Life Loud" debuted at No. 54 on the Billboard Top 200 albums. The project was the third top album on the overall Christian chart, the 18th digital album in the nation, the second digital album on the Christian chart and debuted with eight singles in the Top 200 digital tracks.

The release followed nationwide promotions with the AmazonMP3.com Deal of the Day on street day as well as a music video premiere on MySpace.com's music homepage. Also don't forget the entire month of September promotion "30 Days of Hawk Nelson," which featured a new surprise for fans each day. The band also debuted their album and new songs live on the road with the Skillet Alive & Awake tour, which continues through December.

"Live Life Loud" loudly resounded with media reviewers as they touted the album as Hawk Nelson's "most mature," "diverse collection," and "best overall album." Here are what other reviewers had to say:
"...given Hawk Nelson's consistency and longevity thus far, there's no reason why they can't mirror that latter comparison and stay relevant amidst a maturing artistic direction."

"Hawk Nelson is back with a fun pop-punk album that is sure to please their longtime fans and create some new converts along the way."
--TheChristianManifesto.com

"When it comes down to it, Hawk Nelson has produced a very smooth album.....Live Life Loud is a strong coaster that should have you singing along in no time."
--ChristianMusicZine.com

"Hawk Nelson is no longer the amateur band that was signed to Tooth & Nail years ago. They have matured in both their style, attitude, lyrical/chord choices & seem to have gained a lot of experience with their involvement with Trevor McNevan during the last several years. This is another step in the right direction for Hawk Nelson, hopefully not their last!"

--JesusFreakHideout.com

"This is the best overall album by Hawk Nelson in my opinion."
--NewReleaseTuesday.com reviewer Kevin Davis

--Real Rhapsody

"Hawk Nelson has released their most mature and musically-broad album to date."
