No more tears

An opening Caveat. This reviewers tastes skew to the Hard Music side of the CCM Spectrum. That being said I can enjoy Modern Worship from Time to time. Like most casual listeners, I was first introduced to Leeland through the anthem Tears of the Saints, and I filter the album through that. I am severely disappointed. I give the album 2.5 stars because, while there is nothing terribly wrong with the album, there is nothing right about it either. In CCM's most crowded pond, where every church and their worship team feel compelled to release an album (though ultimately dominated by Hillsong Church), Leeland's Love is on the move is lost in the middle of the pond. There are twelve songs, and the CD is currently streaming at hearitfirst.com/leeland. One song blends into another, and none sticks in your mind. That is sad, since I can spontaneously start humming tears of the saints at times, and it still resides in my iTunes library.
If you're looking for a good modern worship album, move past love is on the move and pick up Hillsong United's A Cross the Earth: Tear Down the Walls instead. You won't be disappointed. View All Music And Book Reviews By wencdj | View wencdj's Profile
