Some of the music theme may very well be as you described, but I just can't stand the musical side of it. The sound is just...., unbearable for me personally. I flat out can't stand the metal music sound. TBH, I find most modern Christian music played on the radio to be empty and bleh. Exceptions exist of course.

I see where you're coming from, and I wish such themes were more prevalent in the modern "pop-y" Christian music, but it isn't. I just like the Christian music I listen to to be more soulful, soft you could almost say. I love hymns, I love southern Gospel, Down to the River to Pray is probably one of my favorite songs of all time. I listen to a select few "modern" Christian songs; Beautiful, Beautiful, Praise You in This Storm, Broken Hallelujah, ect. I think those and other songs have some 'meaning' to the lyrics. And are more than just "surface praise songs", which, I don't mind, but it's not something I'm really into most of the time, although I see a time and a place for such type music.

tl;dr I'm not into the metal-type music, I dislike it as Christian music because of the "sound", not the lyrics (most of the time). I have a preference, and you have a preference. :P
