STYLE: Pop RATING OUR PRODUCT CODE: 127868-19409 LABEL: JesusFreakHideout FORMAT: Digital Only Album
Reviewed by Tony Cummings
One of America's most popular Christian music websites, Jesus Freak Hideout, put together this impressive 37-song sampler in 2012. There is plenty of variety here with standouts including "On The Downbeat" from the comeback album by veteran ska rockers The OC Supertones and "Next Move" by one of America's most underrated rappers, B.Reith. My personal favourite though is "Rumor Has It" by The King's Offering from their wonderfully named 'God, Girls, And Glazed Donuts'. Like all samplers, there's a wide variety of styles featured here, from the hardcore of Fallstar to the pop electronica of Code Of Ethics plus plenty of hip-hop, pop and those Americana maestros The Vespers. All in all, an excellent compilation.
