Another Jeremy Is Great!

Jeremy comes full circle with this album, sure his first two albums were good, but they weren't great. The precedent is set with the first track, "Restored" , great modern rock, with even better lyrics. The great thing here is that Jeremy builds up to the chorus, and then delivers without disappointment. The lyrics only get better with "Take You Back", his big radio hit, and for good reason. This song sings God's promise to us take back his prodigal sons.
Even slower songs like, "Even When", "Be The One" and "This Man" are nicely crafted, and don't get boring for one second.
And did I mention his rock tracks? "Lay Down My Pride" is unique in that it starts slowly in the verses but then it quickly amps up when it hits the chorus. Great track, easily a highlight. My personal favorite is "Breathe", a track that rockets off, and never slows down.
The only lowlight is "My Desire", which has great lyrics, but I think it could have been executed better musically, although the background vocals by his wife are excellent. Overall, it's all uphill for Jeremy. He waded through the waters of the debut album, and suffered through the sophomore slump, but walks on water with this album. My love for Jeremy is restored, as if it was ever gone in the first place, after all, that's is a GREAT first name. Jeremy, I like the sound of it.
