A power house

I have to admit I initially bought this album for track three “by your side”. I have heard it played on the radio numerous times but never caught the artist name. Once I had the Album I realized I have actually been listening to three of their songs on the radio but have attributed them to other artist. Tenth Avenue North has a very common musical sound on this album. I mistakenly looked for them under Switchfoot, Casting Crowns, and various others. Musically the entire album is very solid and very well executed.
Lyrically the album is a power house. I am very impressed, every song on the album deals with belief and unbelief. Effort vs. Faith in balance with the Word. There is no one song that is a breakaway, on the other hand there is no one song that is a throw away either. Once you listen to the album in its entirety you quickly realize there is no one song that is a take away. What pushes this album into the excellent category, no one song makes the album. All the songs have to be taken together. Together they bring so much more of a message then any one track. The entire album brings a continuous message in eleven parts. If you get to hear ten tracks you heard most of the story but you miss the message.
This is not an album you will want to take in twenty minutes. This is an album that you will want to commit time to listen to. Achieving that is master craftsmanship at its best.
