Great Tunes, Cliche Lyrics
Posted January 13, 2012
By whitle09g,
This album if full of great tunes you can hum along to end enjoy, but the problem was with the lyrics. The lyrics were cliche. Those lyrics have been repeated many, many times! As for "Lame," the lyrics were original, but not that great. "Prove It" was funny, but the Francis Chan rap was lacking rhythm and beat. "Ready And Waiting" made me cringe. It is a song about rebuking a wayward friend, but the line "I cannot be your friend" sounded a little mean. Even though the friend was wayward, doesn't mean that we cannot be their friend. As for the other songs, they were great for singing to to praise God, but the lyrics could have been way better.
For pop-fans, this is an album worth listening to, but maybe not buying. As a Jimmy Needham fan, I enjoyed the beats and tunes. But as a fan of good songwriting, I didn't really enjoy the album. If you're also a fan of good lyrics, you might want to look elsewhere.
This album could have been so much better. I hope that Rachel will keep up the good work with the tunes, but upgrade her songwriting skills.
