This is a really good album. The songs are a lot more developed than previous albums, the melodies really stand out and there are lots of songs that stick in your head.
Am I just being cynical, or is Josh in Belfast guilty of cronyism by praising the new ALC album to the skies? I'll wait for the review - ratings of 6, 7 and 8 in the past show that their old stuff was good but not that good ..........
Ha, Jim, have you ever heard the album? The only reason I bothered to come on to this site and bother to review it was because it is so much better than any of the other albums they have made, it is two steps ahead of all their previous work which was good but not as good as this. And to back up my other comment, I don't really like the new Hillsong United album much, I feel it is too much of a departure from their previous material, and I genuinely feel that this is a worthier purchase. So thanks for your cynicism Jim it wasn't really needed, and the amount of periods you put at the end of your comment was too much, three is enough.
well done jim, cracking way to have a positive outlook on life! so whens your album out then, jim...?
Absolutely Fantastic, every song is a classic! Album is very well presented and DVD quality is top notch! Best Christian album this year! Better than the new Hillsong Album!!!
I haven't got the CD yet, but I was front-and-centre at the recording, and I helped to record the choir overdubs, so here are my thoughts on the album: "To Know You" (one of the best guitar riffs ever), "Fire" (wonderfully Radioheadesque), "Breathe in Me", "Messiah" (a brilliantly simple-but-extraordinarily-arranged song; the drums, in particular, are fantastic), "Send Me", and "Closer" (best song on the album) are the standouts. There are a few songs that I find not quite up to par ("Take All the Glory", "Name Above All Names", "Reach to You"), but otherwise, this is the best Abundant Life album since "God is Here", if not ever. I can't wait for the new RPM album... :-)
