5 comments about Offerings: A Worship Album.

1. This one's great! One of Third Day's best albums. Offerings II is awesome as well.



2. Awesome! That is the best description of this praise & worship CD from Third Day. My all-time favorite is "Saved". It's reminiscent of the old days of southern Christian music that really rocked the house! God bless Third Day and their music ministry. They use the music of today to express a message that has been relevant since before the dawn of man.



3. Normally I (age 35) prefer acoustic type praise like the first free worship CD from "Firefighters for Christ", but this album is starting to grow on me. Most of the songs are great, especially the hidden one, "Don't Let Me Go". It is located after a long 2 minute pause at the end of the "Love Song" track. Here are the Lyrics:
   
   Don't Let Me Go (hidden track)
   by Mark Lee, ©2000/
   Take my heart and help me feel
   Take my faith and make it real
   Take my eyes and help me see all the love surrounding me/
   Don't let me go
   Hold me close to where you are
   Don't let me go/
   Take my heart take all of me
   Take my loss and take my gain
   Take my trial and take my pain
   Take my life and let it be all that you have for me (end)
   
   Most of the doctrine seems sound. Without the overbearing electric guitar, audience noise, band intro talking and 2 minute pause, it would be a 5 star CD.



4. I'm not a huge Third Day fan, and I find the worship album genre to be totally saturated. However, this album emerges near the top.
   
   Quite frankly, I find just about every song on this recording to be memorable. My personal favorites are "All the Heavens" and "Love Song," which wrap things up admirably.
   
   The live nature of several of the tracks are great, as we experience some of the beauty of a Third Day concert. (I saw them in concert years ago and found that experience to be much better than any of their other recordings besides this one.)
   
   Third Day chose songs for this worship album with great spiritual depth, outstanding musical diversity, and great technical skill. And Mac Powell's voice is fantastic, as always.
   
   If I could only choose one worship album for my collection, this one would certainly be in the running!!



5. I love Third Day, and this album, while a different feel from their other, more "rock" cds is fantastic. I love worship music that doesn't feel drippy or trite, and this is it. From the beautiful "Love Song" to the powerful remake of "Agnus Dei" and the great cover of Dylan's "Saved" this is a picture perfect modern rock CD. The song "Thief", basically a narrative of the repentant man on the cross next to Jesus is very thought-provoking and moving, and don't miss the hidden track at the end.

5 comments about Business Up Front Party In The Back (Diamond Edition).

1. If you're looking for good, clean fun, look no further. Also, be sure to check out their new CD, "Dance Or Die", out 8/19/08. And if you EVER get a chance to see these guys live, GO! They are pure entertainment both on stage and in the stereo.



2. This album is so fun and energetic you could work out to it. Also If your having a bad day, it totally lifts your spirit.



3. I had downloaded most of the tracks off of this album a good while back before I ever really knew who FF5 was. Yeah, I don't really think you can call them a "Christian" band in the sense that they are not beating people over the head with a Bible or preaching the gospel message from behind the mic stand. Personally, this doesn't bother me. The majority of the music I listen to doesn't fall inside the Christian spectrum anyway. Still, this album does deserve some redemption simply from the song Face Down. I heard it on a local Atlanta radio station and bought the album. Sure, most of the songs are songs that have been done before in style by probably a hundred different rap rock artists with better vocals and talent, but FF5 isn't that bad of a group, just not the best. I have never seen them live, don't really know what kind of people they are away from the stage, etc., nor do I really care. Their relationship with God is simply that, THEIRS. As far as driving beats and crazy music go, it's relatively a fair listen. I'd still recommend Thousand Foot Krutch over them(at least their first album-for style)- but I'm not gonna bash FF5 either. If you want your music up front with a message, then go listen to Third Day or something like that. If you just want a fun disc to listen to, yeah, you could do better than FF5, but heck, you could do a lot worse too.



4. This was definately worth the $9 I paid for it. Probably the best $9 I ever spent! I absoulutely love this cd. They have such a unique sound and style. I can't even describe it. They're kind of similar to like children 18:3, but not really.
   
   I love every song on this cd. It's just amazing. Definately splurge on this one rather than the first because "Never Let Me Go" is on this one and I love that song. They really put on a wonderful concert too! That's where I fist heard them. It always puts a smile on my face to hear them jammin. There is not a doubt in my mind that you will love this cd as much as I do. Definately in my top 5 cd's EVER!!! Yes, it's that good!!!!



5. Crunk rock... whoda thunk? Family Force 5 really lays it out with this incredible release. The Diamond Edition is certainly one of the biggest improvements over an original I've seen. Without, "I Love You to Death" this album wouldn't be half as good... That being said, "Earthquake," "Kountry Gentlemen" and "Cadillac Funque" are some of the most infectious songs I've ever heard (Face Down is also a haunting rock/hardcore punk "ballad?" that shouldn't be missed." Overall, if you have a high standard for quality, and refuse to listen to the profanity ridden trash that's released nowadays, you'll really enjoy this album. However, if you're looking for deep meaning and truth, you won't find it here. Thousand Foot Krutch anyone?

5 comments about Greatest Hits.

1. I thoroughly enjoy this CD. There is a selection of both the Christian and secular sides of her work. The soundmix is wonderful and she is very, very talented. I can very much recommend this CD to anyone that likes her style of music.



2. I have always liked Amy Grant. I remember purchasing the 45rpm of "Find A Way" back in 1985. Since that time, I have always enjoyed her music and I was very excited to get her greatest hits album. I enjoyed all of the hits on this album including "Stay For Awhile,Baby Baby,Every Heartbeat,House Of Love",and more. I was just a little disappointed that they did not include her 1986 minor hit "Wise Up". I really like that song but it is not included on here. Also "I Will Be Your Friend" and "Big Yellow Taxi", are not included here as well.They also could of included her Christmas single "Tennessee Christmas". The record company needs to get this straight and release a complete greatest hits album. Other from those songs missing, this is a must have Amy Grant collection.



3. Die-hard Amy Grant fans may find fault with this album because it omits several of Amy Grants hits, such as "The Next Time I Fall", "Like I Love You" and "Big Yellow Taxi". But, hey, there's only so much room on a compact disc, so here are as many of Amy's biggest solo hits as could fit.
   
   Amy Grant's major commercial successes came between 1979 and 1997, as this album showcases quite well. It begins with her recent minor hit "Simple Things" and traces back in time through her phenomenal success in the early '90s, then to her beginnings in "pop" music, and then on to her earlier, more inspirational fare, which was extremely popular at the time.
   
   Amy's prior two best-of albums are split between the periods of 1979 to 1986, and then 1987 through 2004. So this newest greatest-hits collection is the only one that gives a broad overview of this singer/songwriter's commercially successful years.
   
   The musical styles bob back and forth from pop to rock to contemporary Christian. Some fans may not want the Christian stuff, but it's solid, well-crafted, beautifully sung music. I am not a Christian, and Amy Grant's inspirational music has always been palatable with me.
   
   With that said, this is a great CD filled with terrific songs. The darker moments are few and far between, but Amy Grant's music and voice are strong throughout. The perfect album for casual Amy Grant fans.



4. Amy Grant is a raw talent. Her career has spanned nearly 4 decades and during that time she has managed to find success in the Christian, Pop, Rock & AC formats with her catchy tunes and often personal songwriting ability.
   
   In recent years she has retreated back to her gospel roots after her records began to stall on the charts but Amy is best when she sticks to what she does best---upbeat songs with a positive message.
   
   Before parting ways with A&M, Amy released a Greatest Hits collection complete with all her hit recordings new and old so this new compilation really doesn't make sense unless it's EMI's attempt to generate a buzz around her work or worse, an attempt to cash in on her past successes.
   
   Either way, there is nothing new here.
   
   Let's hope Amy finds the excitement again that helped create past album gems like Heart In Motion & House Of Love with the lyrical balance of a personal favorite of mine, Lead Me On.



5. What's wrong with record companies these days? Everytime you turn around there is yet another "greatest hits", "ultimate", "essential", "box set" or "whatever" hits package that basically consist of all the same songs, give or take one or two exceptions. This hits package is no different. Amy fans, you already have all this - there's no need to buy it.
   
   What's up with Amy anyway? What audience is she trying to speak to? Her old "christian" audience, "pop" audience, "adult comtemporaray" audience, all of them? She's all over the place. I think everyone is kinda over it. She has a great career - nothing to be dissapointed with. It's just time to retire. For example - I dind't even know this was released. Never heard anything about it. It was never promoted - probably because there's nothing to promote.

5 comments about A Collision.

1. It's an eccentric mix of tracks, but it's certainly not a random one. With some pop artists, the listener can tell that the songs have little to no relationship to each other, and they're assembled in some marketable order. Not so with this album, or any of David Crowder's work. The album is a flowing whole, and is probably meant to be taken in as such. As is characteristic of some of the band's other albums, there are short tracks in between some of the featured songs; these shorts I think the band hopes will be taken as seriously as some of the larger songs, because they help the piece flow (the shorter tracks are actually addressed in 20 "A Conversation").
   An example of the interconnectedness of the songs in their arrangement is the movement from tracks 12-14. The lyric of 12 "(B Quiet Interlude)" is "Be more quiet, now, and wait for a voice to say, 'Be more quiet.'" Then 13 "Do Not Move" acts as a kind of appoggiatura building on the mysterious lyric from the preceding song (and is also a well done track in itself). And then in 14 "Come Awake" the lyric is more or less repeated as an introduction to the chorus: "Be quiet and wait for a voice that will say / Come awake / From sleep, arise / You were dead / You've come alive / Wake up wake up / Open your eyes / Climb from your grave / Into the light / Bring us back to life." The effect here is noticeable to anyone who's listening to the lyrics, but not childishly obvious and cute. The album is filled with thoughtful lyrical moves, and also a kind of repeated musical theme in several of the songs, including the last one.
   The album is arranged into parts, and there's a noticeable difference between the songs in them. As I said, they're connected, but there's certainly a "movement" in the groupings of songs. With this, my only big criticism of the album is the ending. The C Part, which contains great songs like "Our Happy Home" and "You Are My Joy," is really well done, but the last part leaves a lot to be desired. The disappointment doesn't bother me enough to take any stars off the rating, though.
   If you're new to the David Crowder world, this may not be the best album to start with. I would recommend their Illuminate project for a first taste, unless you're sure that there are some songs on this album that you'll like. If you like Illuminate, be warned that there are only a handful of songs at the beginning of this that have a remotely similar pop sound, and the rest of the songs are generally unclassifiable rock/pop/bluegrass/electronic alternative. I happen to enjoy the change in sound from other albums. The eccentricity of it is just enough to keep me sure that I'm listening to the same ol' band.



2. Sufjan Stevens is influential. This album follows in his suit, and even takes one of his songs. But hey, nothing wrong with taking a cue from the indie master. However, Crowder changes it to reflect just praise and worship, instead of just random thoughts about a state. The result is a hit or miss.
   
   The song that majorly hits is "We Win!". After all, how can you not like a well-crafted victory song? The song is rockin', and the people are talkin'.
   
   What makes this a concept album is that it's divided into themes. The first theme is the safe, radio friendly theme. If you've listened to radio for the past couple of years, you've heard this whole section. Which isn't bad, but it feels familiar.
   
   But, the weirdest collection of tracks in years is in segment three. This is supposed to be the future worship category. Now, with the theme of future in a music album you know it's going to be different. "Do Not Move" is officially the weirdest song ever. You have to hear to to believe it. What's even weirder is it starts growing on you after a few listens.
   
   Overall, an interesting album. David Crowder dares to be different, taking a cue from the guy that has mainstreamed this type of album. But, like all concept albums, it does have it's hit and misses. Which is expected. Just know what you're buying, before you buy.



3. I just don't care for the flow of the music on this disk. The songs are just not too catchy. Found myself skipping many. Listen to all the samples before you buy. Probably better off just buying the couple of songs that you really like.



4. This David Crowder Band delight is stunning with the varied and robust styles. It is an absolute masterpiece. Absolutely amazing.. I get something new out of it each time I listen. True Worship - honoring God not people.



5. I purchased this CD in an attempt to broaden my musical taste. I like jazz and rock primarily. But when I listened to this CD I encountered God very intensely. Once I surrendered my preferences, I found this CD is incredibly anointed. I've listened to it more times than I want to admit, and I've already purchased another CD by the David Crowder Band. Sample some of the songs, and see if you meet God. It'll be worth it.

5 comments about Tell Me What You Know.

1. Growing up on contemporary Christian music, I ended up in the world of mainstream musical genres. When I am asked what music I like, I am often met with the response; "it seems in the music world people who can't make it in the music business go try to make it in Christian rock." My response; perhaps those people are out there, but here are some artists you should give a try. Sara is always an artist that I recommend to them. She started in Christian music in her 30s; which is uncommon. That maturity is reflected in lyrics of thoughtful prose and unfettered clarity of the responsibility she owns as a Christian artist. Her projects often reflect her own questions, insights, and inspirations as she grows in her faith. Her sophomore release, Conversations, was a project that more directly addressed specific aspects of Christian life that are internalized by every Christian. "Tell Me What You Know" may not be as easily personalized by every Christian listener, as the album speaks to her recent immersion in learning about and responding to international injustices; how these experiences have challenged her to question her responsibility as a Christian, her new vision of what defines the success of her children, and how she is asking Christians to respond by personally addressing their roles in social injustice. "I Saw What I Saw" perhaps should have been the title track on this album, as it most clearly articulates what has motivated the theme of this album. The video for this song is available at http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=18030975. To learn about her motivations for this album see her video; "Nomad" and her website www.saragroves.com.



2. I KNOW your music is fantastic. YOur voice and lyrics are honest and to the heart of us whom struggle with troubles everyday. Keep it up!!!



3. I'll tell you what I know. Being a fan of Sara Groves and her Christian music is maddening. She has written some of the best, catchiest Christian hit songs of this decade, and a couple of all-time Contemporary Christian Classic Hits (in my opinion), yet she seems intent on trying to be overtly secular and non-religious in most of her songs.
   
   TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW has one (deserves to be) MEGA-HIT of a song, "When the Saints," which has catchy, melodic song hooks, a contemporary sound, and lyrics overflowing with Christian references. The rest of the album does not measure up and is nowhere near as good or as intensely Christian in lyrical content. Most of the Christian references appear in the CD booklet and liner notes, if they appear at all. In essence, buying this CD was worth it, but ONLY because of the single song "When the Saints."
   
   Anymore, Sara spends more time singing about her family, friends, and acquaintances, than about God and Bible references. It is almost like she is a Christian who thinks putting out secular music is a Christian act merely because the artist is a Christian in real life, it just doesn't show up in the songs so much. So what?
   
   Sara first got famous with her incredible tune, "The Word," from her CONVERSATIONS album. That album also had many other tunes about the Christian life, and many, many Bible references in the other songs, as well. Sadly, that was her peak, as far as the Christian aspect goes. She has spent the rest of her career, so far, seemingly trying to be successful with less and less Christian lyrical content in her songs. Conversations
   
   Her next album, ALL RIGHT HERE, also had a big Christian radio hit, "First Song that I Sing," about waking up and praising God, first thing every morning, and it also had a few other good, solid Christian tunes, but the ratio of Christian:Secular lyrical content was more secular than on CONVERSATIONS. All Right Here
   
   The rest of her albums, so far, are lucky to have even a single, good, solid Christian hit song. A couple don't even have a hit song, and most of the lyrical content is vague about Christian lyrical content, and heavy on vagueness, altogether. This song could be about God, or whatever you want it to be about, etc.
   
   On her album THE OTHER SIDE OF SOMETHING, she has a song titled "Esther," but it is not about the Bible's book of Esther, it is about someone she knows personally named Esther. Pretty clever? No. Pretty aggravating! The Other Side of Something
   
   It is as if she really wants to crossover into secular music, and, like many a secular artist, is content to thank God in the liner notes, while offering nothing offensive to the sensibilities of non-believers who need to be tricked into listening to a Christian "hit" song. I can only imagine.
   
   I think it was the comedian Janeane Garofalo who had an old joke about Amy Grant, an established Christian singer who had a 1990's secular hit, "Baby, Baby," and was criticized by Christian listeners for ditching her Christian past for secular success. When she crossed over, she forgot to bring the cross over.
   
   Sara needs to put the Christian aspect back into the lyrics, not just the liner notes, forget about being able to not offend non-believers with overtly Christian lyrics, and do what she does best and what made her famous, writing big, beautiful Christian songs. Fill up the entire album with them. Stop being discreet about Christianity. One great Christian song among an album full of secular tunes does not make a good Christian album. Don't be ashamed of the Gospel.
   
   Anymore, I just buy the latest Sara Groves album IF there is a Christian hit song, then I add it to my own compilation CD of her collected other, decent, spectacular Christian tunes and hits, while shelving the retail, mostly secular sounding CD. She's good for a compilation of great songs culled from many different albums, but she could be SO much better, so much more in the Christian music world.
   
   Many of her song lyrics speak of a crisis of faith, I think she is forgetting her first love while she could be writing better Christian lyrics and hits than nearly anybody else out there, these days.
   
   The more worldly Sara Groves' lyrics become, the less interesting they are for Christian music listeners. She has a great gift for Christian lyrics and songs, but she rarely uses it, anymore.



4. Sara Groves has a beautiful voice! And the lyrics are quite amazing! She has a good message - and it is: GOD! This is one of my favorite Christian albums. It's not the best album of all time - but it still much better than "Add to the Beauty". At first I didn't like it so much - only the songs "Love Is Still a Worthy Cause" and "In the Girl There's a Room" seemed to be great. Then, after listening to it 10 times I found almost every song. This is beautiful but quite peaceful music. There's some rock influences - and also country and folk but still, I would say this is a pop album. Sara's voice is brilliant - and the songs like "Honesty" and "It Might Be Hope" are one of the reasons why to keep this album in your collection. She has a sensitive voice.
   Stars: Love Is Still a Worthy Cause, In the Girl There's a Room, It Might Be Hope



5. This is a life changing c.d. by Sara Groves. Sara goes into uncharted territory, with her lyrics about injustice, pain, strength and conviction. This c.d. is a wake up call to evangelical Christians to truly love as Jesus did---to act on behalf of the helpless and those without a voice. It was a wake up call for me. I have given this c.d. to several friends who have been deeply moved by it.

5 comments about All of the Above.

1. I've had this album for about 6 months and finally decided to write a review. It has grown on me over time, and it is truly an excellent album in its own right, but it is quite different (as a studio album) compared to all the rest. The production values are excellent, but you don't get the same "big praising church" atmosphere; instead, you feel a closer connection to the band itself. This can be a good thing when you have a band that is so talented in writing real, substantive lyrics that praise the Lord combined with great riffs, choruses and bridges. My favorite tracks on this album are Desperate People (3), Devotion (4), Lead Me to the Cross (6), Hosanna (8), Solution (10), My Future Decided (11), and Saviour King (14).
   
   Hosanna and Saviour King are definitely the most famous tracks from this album; they are truly God's work spoken through His hands and feet. I can personally credit an experience with God, where I just broke down and cried on my knees, while listening to Saviour King; what a powerful song. Lead Me to the Cross is, in my opinion, one of the most underrated songs ever written by Hillsong United. It is truly outstanding for its pure sound and simple, yet essential lyrics. May God bless you as you worship Him, our King!



2. I've heard that this album is less than satisfying because it is not a live recording. All I can say to that is it's far from the truth. The Hillsong United don't lose their touch and they pull it off again...creating an authentic and brilliant set of worship anthems that are already being sung around the globe. Hosanna, Devotion, Point of Difference, and Saviour King are at the top of my list.



3. I am very impressed with my first Hillsong United CD. I have stayed away from these in the past because I do not like live CD's (DVD's yes, but not CD's). But after hearing that they were putting out a studio album, I thought I would check it out. This isn't a "blow-you-away" album, but it does offer a lot of standout tracks and very passionate lyrics. I loved the song "Lead Me To The Cross" sung by Brooke Fraser. She has a really cool sounding voice and it fit perfectly with this song. The first four songs are very solid as well and the rest of the songs are good. I think that this is a group/church that is very relevant with their music. My only complaint of this CD, though, was the "sinner's prayer" that they had in the booklet to become a Christian. I do not find that very biblical at all, although that has become all the rage in the last hundred years. It seems like Christianity is straying away from the plan of salvation: Believe, Repent, Confess, Be Baptized, Live Faithfully. But looking past that, the songs are really good.



4. This is the second disc we've gotten in the United set - and this one, like the last, every song is distorted. I'm not talking about the guitar distortion. The master or copy or whatever was over driven and the audio as a whole is badly distorted, so much so that you can't listen to the songs at all.



5. Hillsongs United has put out their best work in 'All of the Above', their first and only studio album. All other recordings have been live and in front of tens of thousands of fired up Australian youth. This studio album provides an intimate look at the real musicality of the band and their music. Praise and worship can be tricky - it isn't difficult to perform, and it is created strictly for others to reproduce. All praise and worship albums are immediately followed by lead sheets, chord charts and 'karaoke' tracks, especially Hillsongs. Hence, most Hillsongs albums are recorded live in their worship services. Putting out a studio album is really unusual, and it is a really great album. Their musicianship is amazing and combined with a purpose - worship - it is so uplifting. This is an incredible worship experience.

5 comments about Coming Up to Breathe.

1. This is another MM hit! Very real and life changing songs on each of their cd's.



2. The Cd I ordered was in good condition, however the time it took for me to receive the item was past the time they gaurenteed it. Also I e-mailed the people as to where the item was and never got a response back. I would have to say that I will not want to do business with this company again.



3. Tracks 1 & 11 & 12 are the best tracks on this whole CD. The rest of the tracks are out place & dont fit to well with the tracks that are awesome.



4. This is one of those albums that has the gift of longevity. Even good music wears out on you after a few months, but I keep coming back to MercyMe's Coming Up to Breathe time and again.
   
   The lyrics are deep. Take this one from
   
   * I'd die for you *
   My life has never been this clear
   Now I know the reason why I'm here
   You never know why You're alive
   Until you know what you would die for
   I would die for You
   
   * SOMETHING ABOUT YOU *
   If I could speak the tongue of every man I'm still tongue-tied
   What can I say about You
   When everything I have won't do
   Oh, it will not do
   
   
   * WHERE I BELONG *
   Everybody tries
   To find the purpose for their life
   In hopes that one more day is justified
   But once you truly see
   The very reason why you breathe
   It becomes so much more than getting by
   Well, I have arrived
   And I can't keep this inside
   
   An album you won't regret buying that will inspire you and uplift you when you're down. It builds the fighting spirit within.



5. I accidentally bought two of these CD's and had to return one, very happy with the easy, no hassle return. The CD itself is great and would recommend it to anyone.

5 comments about Sound of Melodies.

1. With all the music out there it is hard to find unique bands. This is incredibly amplified in the Christian sector. Leeland is a breathe of fresh air to a society that lives with many lousy bands. I cannot recommend them enough.



2. This is a very good Christian band. I recommend this to any one who likes songs with real messages about whats going on in the world today. My favorite song is "Tears of the Saints" it is really AWESOME, it makes me cry everytime I hear it.
   God Bless



3. Leeland did a great job on this album. Usually I only like 2 or 3 songs on a cd but in this case I really like all 11 songs very much. Each one is a bit different that the other. There is one that sounds a lot like the early beatles. BUY it you will like it.



4. this is a wonderful CD-will make you want to worship and pray! heartfelt prayerful call is the title Tears of the Saints..my husband and I love this CD!



5. An earlier review stated a lot of CCM is filtered through too much sweetener, and I have to agree. To add, a lot of Christian pop/rock suffers from what I call "One Good Verse and Refrain Syndrome" - one strong verse, a clever refrain - then said refrain is repeated over and over.. and over. Not here. Every song, every one, sounds like it was nurtured and crafted to be the very best. I bought the album on the strength of Tears of the Saints, and though it's great, all of the songs are (the final cut, table of the lord I believe its called, is strong and emotional but could have had - maybe - one - less - verse repetition?....) Some struck me more than others, of course, but all throughout was strong song-writing, great music, and a strong message in each. The songs vary from rocker to ballads, shades of good Newsboys and Audio Adrenaline (both groups I love but which are hit or miss song to song on any given album). Wonderful, wonderful collection of tunes.

5 comments about Amazing Grace: His Greatest Sacred Performances.

1. This is a great 2 CD set if your a gospel music fan and a must have if you're and Elvis fan.



2. I bought this 2 CD set for my beloved because he had lost his CD. I listen to these myself and these 50 Christian songs have become a tremendous blessing to me, in fact I intend to buy a copy for myself as well. There are songs on these 2 CDs that fit every situation that person goes through in life. One of the most amazing things about it is that as you listen to these songs it gives you a glimpse into the spiritual life of Elvis in spite of the tremendous temptations he went through in his life. His early introduction to Jesus in his childhood influenced him his entire life. He never lost his love for Jesus nor the Christian hymns that touched his spiritual life. It is obvious that these songs had meaning for him and the other performers and that they enjoyed the experience of recording them. Surely these songs he recorded were a blessing to him in his final days on this earth.



3. This is a great selection and is very well done. I highly recommend it.
   JIm Mixon



4. I bought this album for a friend for Christmas because I have one myself and I love it so much. It is my favorite Elvis Presley album. He had such a beautiful voice and sang all the hymns with his whole heart. How Great Thou Art is the most powerful hymn ever written. Anyone who loves Gospel music should purchase this album.



5. The double plastic CD case was cracked when it arrived. I did not know it until I had already opened the package. It had a cardboard sleeve over the double case which prevented me from seeing the crack. Is there any recourse now?

5 comments about Addison Road.

1. I've seen Addison Road at PlanetWisdom (a youth conference). They are an amazing worship band. It is incredible to worship with them live. They gave the youth leaders demo CD's and as soon as I started listening to the demo C at home I knew I needed the buy their CD. I just love the music and love to support this band.



2. This is an excellent album with identifiable lyrics for today's youth. I shared "All that Matters" with my youth group and they loved it and the lyrics touched them. This was a great buy!



3. Great music!! If you like Christian rock bands like MercyMe or Casting Crowns, then you'll like Addison Road.



4. I received my audio cd on time and in great shape. I love the music of Addison Road. Thanks!



5. I first heard of this band when they were the new featured artist of the week on iTunes. The free single that was offered had me hooked and I've been greatly anticipating their full release ever since. I was delighted to see Amazon MP3 offering the new album so I, of course, bought it here. An excellent album from an excellent up-and-coming band.
