[MAIN REVIEW]
After much success with their self titled album, Decemberadio returns with their sophomore album Satisfied. I was really excited when I first received this album. I had been waiting for it for a while. The first time I listened to it I knew it was worth the wait. God is present and powerful in this album.
As I began listening to the album a couple of the songs spoke to me. My favorite song on the album has got to be “Believer”. It teaches us that no matter what we are good enough for Christ. He doesn’t care what we look like. We are believers, and we should never be ashamed. In the world today people may look at us funny or we may not be popular for being believers but heaven is not a popularity contest and we should have the attitude as believers that nothing is going to hold us down.
My next favorite song is “For Your Glory”. This song really made me think about things. So many times I feel as if I have nothing to give. But, this song showed me that I don’t have to rich to give God and offering. An offering just needs to be what you have. No matter how large or small it may be God takes what I bring and somehow uses it for His glory. The song says it may not add up but it’s enough. We as Christians must give it all to god. We were created, our life is a gift.
I have had the privilege of hanging out with these guys on a couple of occasions. After spending time talking to them it quickly and clearly became apparent about where their hearts were. God is using these guys to get the word out and in a way that reaches out to people. Josh, Eric, Brian and of course Boone are all humble individuals that are grateful for the talents that God has given them and thoroughly enjoy using them for His glory.
CLOSING THOUGHTS
This album was wonderful. These guys are amazing. They are full of raw talent. It’s not often that you find a band that is versatile in many different styles of music. It takes pure God given talent and the willingness to work hard and give up everything to God. Listening to Josh play the bass while singing lead is incredible. The bass lines that are played while singing lead is an art. They are two totally different things that Josh pulls off flawlessly. Boone on the drums has to be one of the most amazing drummers I have ever heard. Brian and Eric on guitars really drive the music and set the tone. And even though he is not on the album Josh Loveless on the keys add the final ingredient to the mix. As a whole they are DecembeRadio.
I thank you guys for following God’s plan for you. The lives that have been touched by your music and the souls that have been lead to Christ is what it is all about. I pray continued success to you individually, as a band and to your families. If things ever get rough on the road remember why you are doing this and know that there are plenty of people out there praying for you including myself. I look forward to the next time we get to see you guys play and hang out afterwards. Continue to always put God first. Thank you! God Bless!
