The Best Album...Ever!
Posted August 27, 2009
By fanforchrist2009,
Not only is this Casting Crowns' best work, but it is the all-time greatest album in my opinion.
"What The World Needs" is an excellent album opener and energetically rockets the compilation into motion.
"Every Man" I was a bit dissapointed with as a single but it's great for the CD. The lyrics are also painfully true.
"Slow Fade" is perhaps the best lyrically. "It's a slow fade/when you give yourself away/it's a slow fade/when black and white have turned to gray/. The music is also irresistable.
"East to West", the first single, can at times put me to sleep, but I love the lyrics and the tune can become catchy as well.
"The Word Is Alive" illustrates a wonderful truth but is near the bottom of my favorite songs on the CD.
"The Altar and the Door" is definitely my favorite on the CD. With catchy guitar licks and an unforgettable chorus, this is not one you can pass up.
"Somewhere in the Middle" is excellently worded but will put you to sleep.
"I Know You're There", the only song not led by Mark Hall, gives a female voice. Not the best. Take it or leave it.
"Prayer for a Friend" is definitely the worst on the CD. It is a follow-up of "Here I Go Again" from their original self-titled release in '03.
"All Because of Jesus", a remake of Fee's instant hit, is well played but the hidden track at the end of the song is one of the worst sounds that my ears have heard in a while, second only to MercyMe.
The CD is awesome overall and I highly reccomend it. I can't wait for their 11/17/09 release, "Until The Whole World Hears". View All Music And Book Reviews By fanforchrist2009 | View fanforchrist2009's Profile
