Dwell ReviewExcellent album. Very solid from start to finish and then when you are done listening, you can become part of the experience through the toolbox DVD. I recommend it highly for worship leaders who are looking for new songs, or just those who are looking for God's presence to come dwell in their hearts. The songs touched me, especially "Waiting on You Again" and "So in Need." Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.Dwell Overview

Beauty Will Rise ReviewI bought this album for my wife's birthday. As someone who has struggled with my faith for many years I have been quite cynical towards Christian music. I have often said that it's a watered down version of secular music with a one-dimensional theme. "If you've heard one contemporary Christian song, you've heard them all".
However, I was interested to listen to this album after hearing about the circumstances surrounding it. Being a father of two myself, I can't imagine going through what SCC has endured. I wanted to see how a person could craft songs around such a personal experience.
What I heard was nothing short of a true artistic masterpiece. Every time you listen to this album you find a new message to receive. On one hand it can be overwhelmingly depressing and it is very difficult to listen to without tearing up. And yet on the other hand it is one of the most truly inspirational collections of music I've ever heard. And like all great art not only does it contain several layers of depth, it only gets better with time.
As I said before, I struggle with the Christian faith I was raised under. I have questioned God's existence and even dismissed all religion as an easy way to explain complicated truths. But one thing I realized after hearing this album is that it's easy for a person to turn away from their faith when the unspeakable happens. And no one would blame a person for doing so. But it takes great strength to publicly affirm your faith in the face of such adversity. I have seen no better vehicle of ministry in recent years than this album. It has compelled a guy like me to write a review of a "Christian" album. Unfortunately I think the Christian label will prevent it from receiving the wide exposure that it should get. I think everybody has something to gain by giving "Beauty Will Rise" a listen.

Church Music ReviewDavid Crowder*Band, the Dove Award-winning six-piece band, crafts compelling, inimitably progressive electronic rock. They are back with their new release "Church Music" arguably their most innovative effort to date. Packed full with 17 full tracks, "It's our stimulus package," the frontman player jokes. "We're doing our part." The band hopes this album serves as a reminder of the continual evolvement of music within the Church.
One of David's favorite selections from "Church Music" is "God Almighty, None Compares," because he loves "the guitar harmony...the guitarmony, if you will, and shredding is involved, which always makes me smile." The band is rounded out by guitarists Jack Parker and Mark Waldorp , bassist Mike Dodson, drummer Jeremy Bush and electronic violinist Mike Hogan. For the epic "Eastern Hymn," which is the rest of the band's favorite song on the disc, David commissioned the translation of an ancient Chinese prayer book which he'd found last summer while the band was on the Passion World Tour, and portions of the translated tome appear in the song's chorus.
The album opens with "Phos Hilaron (Hail Gladdening Light)", which sets the tone for this excellent album, my top album of 2009 and my favorite overall album by this amazing band. If you liked "Illuminate", "A Collision" and "Remedy", then "Church Music" is for you. The album blends previous musical and lyrical styles with some new ethereal and ambient songs and an incredible cover of my favorite song of the year, "How He Loves". To add to the uniqueness of the album, the 17 songs on the album play continuously from beginning to end with one song blending into the next. In order to accomplish this, the band poured an immense amount of work into the process, sequencing the tracks before anything had been recorded so keys and tempos could be finalized. The result: 73 full minutes of music. "Alleluia Sing" is next and has that signature David Crowder*Band praise and worship style similar to "Open Skies". "The Nearness" and "Shadows" bring back the electronic feel from "Remedy" like "Everything Glorious" and "Can You Feel It?". "Eastern Hymn" is truly epic and flows beautifully into the next few tracks "SMS (Shine)", "The Veil" and "We Are Loved". This section reminded me of the brilliant section of "A Collision" from "Do Not Move" to "Our Happy Home".
The band even tackles a cover on the disc that has to be heard to be believed: Flyleaf's "All Around Me." As if the album wasn't impressive already, David Crowder*Band's beautiful cover of "How He Loves", originally written and recorded by John Mark McMillan, is spectacular. The band finds a unique balance of capturing the sweet lyrical moments of the song but continually crescendos the intensity of the song and the message as the simple chorus builds over and over again. The genuine sound of the song reminds us of the simplicity yet magnanimity of God's love for us. "Can I Lie Here" and "Birmingham (We Are Safe)" bridge to the final section of the album in the style of "...neverending..." and "Rain Down" before the title track "Church Music (Dance)", one of the most fun tracks on the album. I can't wait to see this song performed live as it has an electronic feel that will remind you of a 1970's disco. The album closes with an amazing section from the unashamed praise of "What A Miracle", and "Oh Happiness", which reminded me of "We Win!", the guitar-shredding of "God Almighty, None Compares" and the epic closer "In The End (O Resplendent Light)".
This is my favorite overall album by David Crowder*Band and my top album of 2009. For me, this is truly a 5 star album! My favorite songs are "Alleluia Sing", "The Nearness", "Eastern Hymn", "All Around Me", "Church Music (Dance)", "God Almighty, None Compares" and my song of the year "How He Loves".Church Music Overview

Enter the Worship Circle ReviewA Friend introduced me to this album on missions. He led worship with a few of thier songs and I had never experienced such an expression of ultimate love and surrender in the words of a song before. One Hundred Portraits and Waterdeep not only produced songs, they have tapped into the heart of a whole worship of the one true God and his saving grace. When I got back from my trip I searched all over for it (it was VERY hard to find) and once I had it I listened to it for 2 months straight. I only wish that there was more. The music and lyrics take you to a place of deep intimate worship that will make the surface level worship dead and empty. Its more than just toe tapping... Its on your face with your heart in compleate gratitude and desire for change. "To worhip God is to enter our highest calling..." -The Worship CircleEnter the Worship Circle Overview

Beautiful Things ReviewThe music industry of today thrives on a lack of originality. There are particular types of sound that sell, so if an artist can pull off that sound decently enough, throw in enough mindlessly catchy beats, and overproduce it, it's quite possible that it could be a #1 hit. I've even noticed something similar to this in the "Christian music industry." So it is refreshing indeed when a band like Gungor releases an album like Beautiful Things, where creativity, diversity, excellent lyrics, and sheer talent abound, and it's for that reason that Beautiful Things is quite possibly one of the finest works ever to hit the world of "Christian music."
Beautiful Things begins with the amazing "Dry Bones," a song that starts off softly with just an acoustic guitar and a piano, but eventually explodes into a frenzy of electric guitars and soaring vocals crying out to Jesus for restoration ("Jesus, you're the one who saves us/ constantly creates us into something new/ Jesus, surely you will find us/ surely our Messiah will make all things new.") It's a powerful and memorable opener, and Gungor's desperate cries are quickly answered in the title track that follows. "Beautiful Things" is a worshipful song that, instead of crying out for Jesus to bring life, acknowledges that He does indeed, "Make beautiful things out of the dust." It's a soft and worshipful track that is easily an album highlight if not the best track on the album, as it reflects on the creative and restoring power of God. These first two tracks set the tone for the album lyrically by setting the focus on God making things new, and they powerfully introduce what is already shaping up to be a phenomenal album.
Gungor shifts to hope for God's future restoration in "Brighter Day," the album's biggest rocker, while also acknowledging the present working of God's kingdom in our hearts ("Let it come/ love is here and love is coming/ heaven is breaking open." The rocking guitars and powerful vocals carry this song through as one of the most fun songs on the album. "Heaven" follows and, though it is short on lyrics, acknowledges, "Heaven is comin' down to the world." It's an all-out gospel-style track highlighted by guest vocals (and, I assume, songwriting) by Israel Houghton. It's an outrageously catchy and fun song, though it is probably among my least favorites on the album as it feels a little out of place and, as I already mentioned, is short on lyrical content.
As "Heaven" winds down, the album shifts gears with the quiet and beautiful "You Have Me." The lead is given to a finger picking banjo part, and although it is practically the only instrument used for most of the song, it is a perfect fit to the soft vocals and worshipful lyrics, which recall how God has sought after the singer, and reveal the appropriate response to the saving power of God ("You have me/ You have my heart completely.") "Cannot Keep You" comes next with another soft and worshipful tune, this time giving more emphasis to the piano and acoustic guitar. This time the focus is on the way we tend to try and keep God contained in virtually anything and make these things idols ("We cannot keep you in a church/ we cannot keep you in a Bible/ or it's just another idol to box you in... we've worshiped all our idols/ we want all that to end"), but the chorus reminds us that there is none like the Lord with the wonderful lyrics, "Who is like the Lord?/ the Maker of the heavens/ who dwells with the poor/ He lifts them from the ashes/ and seats them among princes/ who is like the Lord?" Though it took longer to grow on me than some of the other tracks on the album, I have to say "Cannot Keep You" is among Gungor's best recordings to date.
A delightful toy piano then leads into "The Earth Is Yours," which is another instant highlight. It is a simple but beautiful worship song that poetically describes creation giving glory to the Creator and singing, "Holy, holy Lord/ the earth is Yours," with a quiet but absolutely wonderful sound. Even after so many fantastic songs, "The Earth Is Yours" sounds excellent and fresh... but half of the album is still left. "Call Me Out" follows with a delightfully unique sound driven by drums, piano, and the banjo again, and later the song moves into a chorus full of pounding electric guitars, making a surprisingly diverse and irresistibly catchy array of sound and another fantastic track.
A softer tone is hit again as the album starts to wind down, but the quality doesn't let up much, if at all. "Please Be My Strength" isn't the most interesting song musically, but some skillful acoustic guitar work carries the lyrics that embody a state of knowing that you can't do anything on your own, and you need to rely on God's strength. "Higher" might be the mellowest song on the entire record, but it's also one of the most worshipful as Gungor sings, "Your name is sweeter than the rain/ that falls upon the face of dry and weary lands... Your name be praised/ and be lifted higher." The sincere desire for God to be glorified is what makes "Higher" special. Next, "Late Have I Loved You" seems to wonder why anyone would ever do anything with God but run to Him. It is another quiet and touching song to add to the list.
The quiet nature of the previous three songs then gives way to the joyfully upbeat "People Of God," which simply calls out, "People of God, rise up/ rise up and shine God's love/ we are the light of the world," and reminds us, "if we don't have love, we're left with nothing." The nine-minute "We Will Run" closes off the album beautifully by reminding the listener to run to God to seek out the restoration that so many of the preceding songs sang about ("We will run to You/ turning from our sin we return to You/ Father, heal Your world, make all things new." Lisa Gungor's voice finally shares the lead with Michael's in this beautiful closer, and about halfway through the track's running time, a peaceful piano-led instrumental section brings the phenomenal record to a close, giving the listener a few minutes to reflect on the amazing music and lyrics they heard in the album's running time of nearly an hour.
I think it would be very difficult to dislike Gungor's masterpiece Beautiful Things. Musically it's about as fun, beautiful, and diverse as it can be with the band still feeling right at home on every song, and the lyrics are nicely worded and constantly focused on the Lord. Even after a few months of owning it, I'm still excited about how fantastic it is. I have no higher recommendation in the entire music industry when it comes to an album that's so musically creative and lyrically rock solid. Gungor has achieved true excellence with this record, and it would be a shame for anyone to miss it.Beautiful Things Overview

Hundred More Years ReviewChristian music artist Francesca Battistelli has had a fun, fast paced ride on life's roller coaster the last few years. Her debut music album, My Paper Heart was a major hit.She was awarded the 2010 GMA Dove Award for Female Vocalist of the Year. She's got married and this past September gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Matthew Elijah Goodwin. She's on top of the world and is ready for a second album entitled, Hundred More Years. The first single from this album, "This Is The Stuff," was released to Christian radio in January. In traditional Francesca Battistelli style, she tells it just how it is and all the things that drive her crazy. The main message of the song, despite all the little things that drive us all crazy, is to remember we are blessed. Francesca writes and sings about relatable subjects and her lyrics and melodies are completely infectious. Right from the opening notes, I knew I was in for a treat and musically this album is completely brilliant. The mandolin part reminds me of "Hey Soul Sister" by Train and "The Outsiders" by NEEDTOBREATHE. The bridge of "This Is The Stuff" also summarizes my prayer as a Christian: "To break me of impatience, Conquer my frustrations, I've got a new appreciation, It's not the end of the world..." Amen. "Constant" and "You Never Are" are also catchy pop songs. Every song includes at least one lyrical phrase that completely hits me where I am. "Constant" is about God's love and Francesca sings "Okay I really don't like change but I can't stop it, I'm moving forward with the promise, You are the anchor for my soul, That's all I need to know."

"Angel By Your Side" is a `beautiful, beautiful' ballad with a catchy guitar part and features Francesca's gorgeous vocals. The balance of upbeat songs and ballads is another highlight as the songs flow perfectly together to create one of those unique musical experiences that makes this a stellar album. "Motion Of Mercy" grabs me with Francesca's sincere prayer, "God give me strength to give something for nothing, I wanna be a glimpse of the Kingdom that's coming soon." "Emily (It's Love)" features Dave Barnes and is destined to be a hit song, perhaps on mainstream radio. One argument Christians may make about this album is that the lyrics may in fact be too relatable to listeners. That would be a shame, as I was saved due to being hooked by the cross-over success of Jars of Clay's debut album, which introduced me to the Gospel for which I'm eternally grateful. Francesca has that "it" factor that could draw literally millions of listeners to hear the Gospel truths of her music such as in the next song "Good To Know" where there is no mistaking whose love Francesca is singing about in the lyrics, "It's good to know, It's good to feel the arms of grace, To know that my mistakes are covered by Your love." "So Long" has mainstream appeal as well, and I could imagine hearing the song in a movie soundtrack.

The last three songs are a little more like Francesca's impressive debut album as "Don't Miss It" has that driving rock beat and seize the day theme similar to "It's Your Life." The last two songs are my favorite songs on the album, "Worth It" is a gorgeous ballad and love song with biblical truth paraphrased from 1st Corinthians 13, "Love takes sacrifice, Love cuts like a knife, Sometimes love will make you cry, Love's not easy, But it's worth it." Similar to "Someday Soon" and "Forever Love," this could be a wedding song for believers making a marriage commitment. Having been married for 16 years with 3 young daughters, the song moves me to tears along with the amazing title track "Hundred More Years." The song is about finding that person that you want to spend the rest of your life with and falling in love. The song is about great moments in life and wanting them to last a hundred more years. I get goose bumps and well up when Francesca passionately sings the beautiful lyrics, "they can laugh, they can cry, the future looks so beautiful and bright, they can dance in the moonlight, cause God is smiling down on them tonight, and He wants to stay right here, make it last for a hundred more years." God wants to bless His children and this song completely blesses me. Thank you Francesca for making one of the best albums I've ever heard.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
I'm convinced Hundred More Years is easily the best album by a female artist I've heard in the Christian and mainstream music market since GRAMMY award winning 19 by Adele. Reigning female vocalist of the year Francesca Battistelli has hit on all cylinders with this stellar pop music album. Every song is a perfect blend of compelling vocals, musical excellence and lyrical relevance. There are no filler songs and this album gets 5 very enthusiastic stars! This album is a "must-have" for fans of Colbie Caillat, Sara Bareilles and Adele.Hundred More Years Overview

Offerings: A Worship Album ReviewYet another fabulous album by Third Day! There are a number of never-before-heard tracks as well as live tracks from recent concerts. The booklet includes all of the lyrics, messages from the band and a few pictures. The disc itself is designed to look like a reel on an old reel-to-reel tape machine with a piece of masking tape stuck on it... very nifty. When you remove the CD, the clear case below features a shot of the band playing before a large audience.
The same rough & raw sound, penetrating lyrics and beautiful voices (lead and background vocals) you're already familiar with are here once again, with new and familiar material. The tempo of these songs are not as fast as some of their songs like "Sky Falls Down," but if you're a Third Day fan, you won't be disappointed. For folks who've only heard a few of their singles on the radio, you'll be happy to know that all of their music is of the same caliber of those few songs that get radio play. Easy on the ears and great rockin' music. I highly recommend this disc.Offerings: A Worship Album Overview

Better Days ReviewThe Better Days project delivered. Jonathan Nelson followed up his last CD with a clear progression and breadth of his musical gifts. From the title track Better Days to Praise Saved My Life and Another Way, the spirit of the artist is very evident. This cd contains something for all modern worship ministries. There is something to praise dance to, teach to a praise team, use for a choir, or just a soloist that wants to usher in the congregation to prepare for a Word. You will immediately leave this cd playing and won't have to skip over songs to appreciate the message and the music.Better Days Overview

Adoration: Worship Album ReviewNewsboys join the worship trend with this CD. Unlike many others, however, 8 of the 10 songs are Newsboys originals and only two of those are live versions of songs they've previously released.
The CD opens with "He Reigns," one of my two favorites from the disc. This song is a joyful proclamation of God's power and a bit of a reminder of how important it is for Christians to proclaim it.
My other favorite is the final song "Hallelujah," a look ahead to the never ending praise session in Heaven.
In between are more great songs like "Great is Your Faithfulness," (not the hymn, but just as good) "Take My Hands (Praises)," live songs "Lord (I Don't Know)" and "It is You," and the covers "You are my King (Amazing Love)" and "In Christ Alone."
I'm not a big Newsboys fan, so I can't comment on the style of this CD in relation to their other releases, but I do know that it's gotten lots of play time since I bought it.
As an added bonus, the guitar chords for 7 of the songs are included with the lyrics in the booklet. While it seems funny that they didn't include the chords next to the other three songs, I'm very happy to have those 7.
I'm glad I took a chance and bought this CD. It will be pointing me to God for many years to come.Adoration: Worship Album Overview

Glory in the Highest: Christmas Songs of Worship ReviewI believe that what makes this album strong for some is what makes it weak for others. I see these following components as strengths:
1. Focus on worship rather than nostalgia
2. Introducing new songs to the Church and revamping old ones
3. Doing something simple, yet profound, that will lead other worship leaders to do the same (eg slowing down and quietening down "O Holy Night", much the same as Tomlin did with "I stand amazed in the presence (How Marvelous)")
4. Making this accessible and possible to replicate in the worship setting
5. The live nature of the album
6. Introducing new worship leaders to the Christian community (this is one of Tomlin's strengths - virtually every record of his he introduces a new worship song / leader, eg Laura Story (Indescribable), Bluetree (God of this City))
7. Understanding that power can be found often in the absence of noise (hence the acapella singing etc)
Other than Andrew Peterson's "Behold the Lamb of God" (which is phenomenal), this is perhaps the second most powerful and consistent Christmas worship CD I know. Having said that, I've just started listening to Sovereign Grace Ministries' "Savior" and think that might be up there too. Oh, and Graham Kendrick's "Dreaming of a Holy Night"

Sing Over Me: Worship Songs & Lullabies ReviewI happened to pick this up the other day and was just so pleased with the sweet tone to this worship compilation. My commute to and from work can be so stressful, but this cd soothes my soul. I love it...I do not have children, but if I did, it would be their bedtime listening! There is so much to say, so let me just tackle each song.
1. How Great is Our God. -- Bethany Dillon really hits one out of the park here. I love Chris Tomlin's version, but I love that Bethany brought this song out of the rafters for the female worshippers. It's absolutely gorgeous! She really kicks off the album with a mellow, yet magnificent track.
2. Light of the World -- Erin O'Donnell's voice is perfect for this track. She just sings it, no trills, runs, over indulgent vocal stuff, just sings from her heart. I can almost see her holding her own child and rocking them to sleep.
3. You are Good -- Nichole Nordeman (wrong listing above) really has an outstanding new song here. The words of this song are so amazing. She just reminds us that no matter what, God is Good, good and bad times, He is good. Musically, it is a gem. Mooderate tempo, but definately a truly excellent track!
4. May The Words of My Mouth -- Christy Nockels is the real reason I bought this cd. And does she ever pour her heart out vocally here. This song is so simple, and just sweet. Only Christy Nockels can take a song in this range and not over-sing the high notes, but just alight on them like a butterfly on a flower. This is one of my absolute favorite tracks, and one that takes me into a special worship moment with the Lord. I love Christy's light vocal, and it seems to be a little overtaken when Janna Long steps up the backing vocal, however, it is still a wonderful song!
5. How Deep the Father's Love for Us - Nichole Nordeman takes an old Hymn and redoes it with her own style. I love Nichole's ability to sing like she were whispering in the ear of Christ. And with this song, her vocal is so transparent and real as if she is discovering the truths of the song herself. Masterfully done.
6. Sing Over Me -- Jennifer Knapp (again, wrong listing above)sings a new song that is beautiful. Nichole N's backing Vocals are the perfect addition! This song has a really catchy hook that keeps me singing all day long. And what a neat idea to sing a song of God singing over us! I love love love this track!
7. Whole World In His Hands -- Christy Nockels takes this eeriely magnificent song and crafts a confident track. It remains gentle and soothing. Beginning in a minor key really sets this song apart from the rest on the album, and really takes you to a different place musically than the other tracks
8. Hold On To Jesus -- Erin O'Donnell takes an earlier single of her own and strips it down vocally, and allows a new element of piano accomp. to be added. It is a beautiful lullaby, just perfect for a good night reminder of little ones. I'm sure someone is going to use this one for baby dedications or videos.
9. We Fall Down - Nichole Nordeman doesn't do anything new or spectacular with this song, but just sings it. Sometimes, It is just so important to sing a song from your heart, and Nichole does it. Again, like Bethany, she brings down the key to a singable one for females, so that is a bonus for singing along.
10. Lord, You Have My Heart -- Janna Long (again, wrong listing, what is up with that Amazon?) sings this little song. Generally I really like Janna's work, but this is easily my least favorite track. Not b/c of the talent of Mrs. Long, but because her voice on this song doesn't really match the rest of the cd. The other ladies performing have very gentle, soothing interpretations of their songs, even the more upbeat tracks. This song, however slow it is, allows Janna to let her big voice go a little too much. I wish the producer had pushed Janna to a softer tone...it would have fit much better. It is still a good track, and one of my fav worship songs, but for this cd, it's a little out of place.
11. Unwavering -- Bethany Dillon....Of the "new" songs...this is absolutely my favorite. I'm suggesting it for use in my women's & single's worship ministries. Outstanding, Incredible, Biblical Lyrics....and the music is sweet and easy on the ears. Loved it. My second fav on the cd.
12.Jesus Loves Me -- Christy Nockels takes on a classic and makes it her own. Pitched in only a key Christy can sing so sweetly, it is a perfect lullaby, and soothing worship song.
I highly reccomend this cd for nursery's, schools, homes, women's ministry, etc. It's fantastic!
