Amazing Praise & Worship Debut
Raw. Artistic. Worshipful. Passionate. Other descriptive words come to mind when trying to describe MercyMe's national debut release Almost There, and all fall under the category of complementary. A modern praise and worship album written with creativity both lyrically and musically, Almost There is another defining album in this genre that continues to develop and grow with more and more artists jumping aboard. Bart Millard's lead vocals are warm and inviting and complement both the pop/rock sound and the inspirational worship music. The definite highlight on this album is the worship/ballad "I Can Only Imagine," a song that Amy Grant currently purchased rights to market and release as a single from her upcoming 2002 release. The song starts out with just piano that instantly invokes chills and builds dynamically into a powerful display of drums and guitar. But what makes the song are the lyrics, penned by Bart Millard himself. The song speaks about that day that we all dream about when we finally meet Jesus. "Surrounded by your glory/What will my heart feel/Will I dance for you Jesus/Or in awe of you be still." It's a song that can't be listened to with eyes open, and instead of being the only highlight, it's surrounded by 10 other songs penned with the same passion. Don't miss this album. You won't be disappointed

16great album
always will be a great cd. i love it.
wow
this cd was so amazing. my favorite song was "i can only imagine." it is an awesome worship cd and i would recommend this cd to everyone that i know. they are such an amazing band.
overated
First of all, how many times has this album be re-released? If the song I can only imagine was not on this album, i could only imagine the decrease in popularity of this album. So in conclusion, great song, alright album.
MercyMe
what can i say about this cd....it was awesome:)
Almost As Good As Spoken For
I am a big MercyMe fan so I really liked this CD. I'm sure everyone that listens to Christian music has heard "I Can Only Imagine". That is my favorite on this record. Other personal favorites are "Here Am I" and "In You". This is a good album to add to your collection especially if you're a MercyMe fan.
I can only Imagine
The reason I like Mercy Me is because of the song I can only Imagine. It makes me cry when I hear it. It also makes me wonder so much of what will I do do when I go to heaven. Surounded by his glory what will my heart will I dance for you Jesus or to my knees will i fall will i sing halleujah will be able to speak at all I can only Imagine.
A little Dissappointed...
I, along with millios of other people, absolutely love the song "I Can Only Imagine". That song was a really great song lyrically. Unfortunately, that built a lot of hype around this album, and I did not think the rest of it was all that great. It was like they poured all of their energy into that one song and sort of neglected the rest of the cd. The only other songs I found enjoyable were "I Worship You", and "How Great is Your Love".
Almost there is not even close
Mercyme grabbed everyone’s attention with their hit single “I can only imagineâ€, but one song doesn’t make a good album, which is shown on their Debut CD almost there.
Mercyme’s music tends to be praise and worship, but they could be considered light rock. “I worship you†and the singe “here I am†are more up-beat. “I can only imagine†is a good song that is simple, but has a very appealing style to it. Other than that most of the songs on Almost there are simple and repetitive, which is shown on “bless me indeed†and “cannot say enoughâ€.
The lyrics are only okay. The song “here I am†is not bad, but “I can only imagine†is not very deep. Everything else on the CD is shallow, and in some cases their songs are (house of god and bless me indeed) theologically wrong.
Almost there tails of as the second half of the album rolls along, leaving merecyme’s super CD a lot to be desired.
mercyme
mercyme is a such an awesome band!! Who else could make "I Can Only Imagine" take on secular chart's #1 spot?? this is a great album!! =]
MercyMe
Love this album! It has one of the best songs ever recorded (in my opinion) I Can Only Imagine. It's a great CD!
Amazing
Wonderful album. Truly a must have to complete any Christian Music collection. "I Can Only Imagine" is among one of the best songs ever. It's difficult to find such an album with songs that I can listen to every single song.
I love this album
I own Undone, Almost there, and Coming up to Breathe.
This is my second favorite of the 3.
Great godly lyrics and an awesome sound. This music really brings me close to God and I can listen to them throughout the day. That way when I cant read my Bible I can still hear scripture. MercyMe is definitely one of my all time favorites :)
pretty good
this is my least favorite mercyme album. but i still love it. i don't like the song i can only imagine though. mainly because its too overrated. my favorite song is how great is your love
=)
any song this group sings its great...
i can only imagine
The one song I like on that cd is "I can only imagine". It really gets you thinking about what's going to happen when jesus comes.
i can only imagine phenom

In today's worship-crazed phase of Christian pop, Mercy Me fits right in with smooth melodies, passionate lyrics, and a vertical focus. Yet the transition from worship band to major-label act demands more. Almost There promises just enough to allow it to rise above its inconsistencies. Prayer of Jabez-inspired "Bless Me Indeed" is a glimmer of brilliance where the group brings it all together, but it's the poignancy and power of "I Can Only Imagine" that testifies to Mercy Me's great potential. The dramatic ballad captures a believer's hope for the afterlife and is fueled by Bart Millard's authoritative vocals. The song will continue to be a staple in church worship services for years to come. Then there are the not so brilliant moments, including the cheesy "House of God" and "All Fall Down."

i really liked this album when it first came out. the imagery of the songs i thought was wonderful. then the song i can only imagine was played over and over and over on the radio and i just got sick of that song. because of this i rarely play this cd any longer.
