First reaction is to the production - it's so crisp, clear, and so clean that it's almost sanitised. Should one notice how well something is recorded before you begin to notice the singer or the song? Then you notice the singer and he's, well, shouting along a bit like a cheerleader rallying up an apathetic crowd at a Dallas Cowboys match. There's no build-up, he's in top gear from the beginning. Yes I know it takes a lot to get worship going sometimes, and I realise that the studio could have arranged it that way - but it's not comfortable. When he (there are no musician credits on the tape, so they're all nameless) does slow down and quiet down a bit for some worshipful tracks with the choir, it's a lot more real somehow, and more sensitively sung. "Lead Me To The Rock" and "Rock Of My Salvation" were the tracks I could believe in, the rest was too 'showtime', if you know what I mean? Long live real live music!
