Musically this album is very good. Intricate lead riffs over hard rock gravel-type power chords. Taken separately each track is nice to listen to, but together they sound repetitive and you find yourself wondering where you are as each track blends into the next. My favourite song on the album is "Living For My Lord". As for the whole album the lyrics are spot on and anyone listening cannot fail to get the message, but without feeling it's being forced upon them. My second choice would be the last track, a version of "All The Things You Are" by Oscar Hammerstein played expertly by Jeff Berlin, Joe Diorio, Lanny Cordola and Ken Mary. A nicely mellow track to finish with and a joy to listen to. Overall a very well produced album, which although musically excellent lacks lustre or a hook, but if you get bored skip a track, and you are bound to find something you like.
