Really Good Worship Effort!

By Desperationrocks,
I just got the new album today when I saw Jeremy Camp play after the Rockies up in Denver at Coors Field were they had the album available a week before it is set to release. I was very excited to pick it up and have been listening to it the rest of the day after the concert. I've fallen in love with the album.
Jeremy Camp was the first christian artist I ever got into and also who fueled my love for music. So I have been a fan of his music since my middle school years through my high school years to this point. Now my tastes are mostly all rock and metal but Jeremy Camp is one of the few exceptions because he has an outstanding voice, honest and heartfelt lyrics, and doing what God has called him to do. Which is showed through this album as he tackles his 2nd worship album.
There is much to love about this release. It features numerous covers and some of Jeremy's own original worship songs. WIth the covers and original material being spilt with 5 covers and 6 originals. I think the covers are done especially well and I easily enjoy Jeremy's versions more than any of the original artists recordings. Jeremy brings new life into these songs with the passion displayed and his powerful voice.Mighty to Save or Overcome is my favorite cover song off the album, but all are pulled off very well and enjoyable.
The original songs on here are just as strong as the covers and are some great new worship songs. Jeremy puts some very heartfelt worship lyrics and pours out his heart in these songs, and flow greatly with the 5 cover songs showing his great heart for worship. Not Ashamed has to be new favorite worship song, having a great declaration of who we should be as christians and is just an awesome song.
Now the only small complaint is that this sounds close enough to other bands out there and nothing too new is presented. But this is an extremely well done worship albums and one of the strongest in the genre. Strong vocals paired with great songs and strong worshipful lyrics, what more can you ask for? That's what worship music is all about. Jeremy had a great selection of cover songs that go in greatly with his originals.
You will be swept away by this worshipful albums that the 50 minutes almost goes by too quick.This is a very strong release and fits in nicely with the rest of Jeremy's strong catalog of albums. If you want a really great album to worship God with this is the one to pick up, you won't regret it. View All Music And Book Reviews By Desperationrocks | View Desperationrocks's Profile
