Can't help but wince at the title of the album which supporters will also recognise as the name of the Jesus Army presentations at Wembley Conference Centre, Bristol's Colston Hall and Manchester's Free Trade Hall. It was at these 'Bleeding Life' presentations that the 15 tracks were recorded. The title track, with a rather good dance rhythms lifts off but "Life Is Running, Brilliant, Stunning" has one of the most banal hooks ever. Some of the themes touched on are seriously heavy ("Life Is Cheap") while throughout the playing is fairly good though some of the mixes over emphasise the vocals. If you liked previous albums, this is the fourth 'Songs Of The Jesus Revolution', you'll like this one.
