Seventh Day Slumber Amps Up Everyone's Favorite Worship
Posted May 05, 2009
By TheLeviticalLawKid,
To be honest, when I first heard that Seventh Day Slumber was recording a worship project, I didn't know what to expect. Didn't know if they were writing their own stuff, or if they were doing covers of worship songs. Turns out, they did both.
The result is one of the best worship albums to date.
To fully understand the sound of Take Everything, one should imagine Passion Conference: Chris Tomlin, David Crowder* Band, Charlie Hall, etc. Imagine the bands taking the stage at one of the biggest worship experiences in the world. Modern anthems are being sung, and everyone is loving it.
Now imagine Louie Gigilo announcing the newest band to take the Passion stage: Seventh Day Slumber. You know, Seventh Day: Finally Awake, Caroline, etc. The hard rock band plugs in and goes crazy like usual. But the lyrics are different. The same style you heard the others perform has the same words as these that Seventh Day is doing.
Welcome to Take Everything.
From the get-go, Take Everything rocks you with the usual Seventh Day Slumber hard rock intro. If you played Track 1 without knowing the album, you would have zero idea what the song would be called. Try "How Great is Our God".
The Chris Tomlin cover starts off the newest album from Seventh Day, which turns into one of the best worship albums ever created. Great modern worship songs soon follow ("Everlasting God", worship song of the year "Mighty to Save", "From the Inside Out")and are coupled with some amazing worship tracks from the past ("Nothing But the Blood" and "Surrender").
The songs that Seventh Day Slumber wrote for Take Everything are great, too. "Take Everything" and "Carry Me" are really good worship songs that you would expect from SDS lead man Joseph Rojas.
Bottom line: Hard rock junkies will love the sound of Take Everything, the tone of classic Seventh Day Slumber. And, whoever listens to Take Everything will also get to hear the real heart behind Seventh Day Slumber as well. Get ready for a great worship project: Take Everything takes the cake.
