This is an excellent album, 30 Phat songs from young and old delivered in a fresh, inspiring way.
From the worship classics like Holy, Holy & There Is A Day, to the funky Rise Up and River Of Life to the U2-esque ballads of Stepping Out, Audience With God and From The Rising Of The Sun, this is world class Christian music at its very best. The guitars of Mike Blow and Alan Rose are astounding, the constant crispness and originality of the production (thanks to Nathan Fellingham amongst others like Julian Kindred), the stylized keyboards of Mike and the solid bass lines of Luke, not forgetting one of the most distinctive, powerful and angelic voices of our age Lou Fellingham, its all here. The songwriting will blow you away, the lines and verses and scripture drenched lyrics are unbelievably accurate, inspiring and so musical.
Phatfish have delivered an album that truly says, yeah, we did that, we've been there, and we succeeded in glorifying his name.
This might be the final Phat album, but I certainly wish we could see more of this Fish!
This album is a great mix of the various styles the band have covered over the years and really showcases their versatility. I especially like the superb rock and funk rhythms. The whole band has always been strong - Lou's vocals are great but the highlight for me is the rhythm section - especially Luke F.'s superb bass playing and feel for a groove. Yes there are a few weaker tracks but hey, it's a double CD so you can afford to skip a few! Overall it's a classy album that is worthy of a place in anyone's CD collecton, whether Christian or not.
Buy it, you won't be disappointed!
