I'm an awful review-writer but I'll speak out on this one. Just got this in the mail yesterday and I'm loving it. Had enjoyed what I had heard before its release (via the songs on his web site and his YouTube "leaks") but it's good to hear the whole thing in its entirety. In the liner notes he talks about how it was his most collaborative album to date, but nothing jumps out as "out of place" on this album (though the "pick the Brandon Heath-penned tune" game is an easy one. ;-)
The lyrics are meaningful and from the heart, the music is solid. It's all good. Don't think I can pick a favorite song yet. I know the 4 songs that were pre-released on the web site have all had their turn getting stuck in my head.
Another note: I've been one to buy mp3 albums with greater frequency lately, but I bit on the pre-order offer from Aaron's web site, and I'm glad I did. The liner notes from the CD are substantial, with Aaron offering up journals for each song on the CD. I'd highly recommend the "physical media" for this particular album.
