This CD quickly passed my acid test: putting it on while doing some work, by the second play I was singing along as if I'd known these songs forever. Nashville band Building 429 (the name comes from Ephesians 4:29) take as their template the post-grunge lite of Third Day and sweeten it with strings and piano. They're a young band which makes both for passion and some lyrical naïveté: even the greatest theologians have shied away from defining God's glory ('Glory Defined') and the post-9/11 song 'Spirit Lives On' was written the day after the atrocities but now could do with further reflection. However these are minor carps. Don't be surprised if they come to a UK Christian festival next year: your youth group will be in the front row, and maybe you should be, too.
