A collection of 14 worship songs from around the world given a seriously rock treatment with real drums and guitars. As we have commented before, the new generation of pop rock children's albums are a far cry from the typical kids album of a few years ago. Here you've got some great guitar licks and solid drum and bass lines throughout. From the opening "God's Love Is Big" through a great reworking of "Open The Eyes Of My Heart" to the full tilt Hillsongs "Royalty" that brings up the rear this album never really lets up. All the tracks are very accessible, well arranged and produced and with some nice keyboard lines wending their way through the driving guitars - at times almost reminiscent of After The Fire. A cool album that parents may still be listening to when the kids have got tired out bouncing round the room to it.
