Absolutely no surprises here for followers of this classic American rock band. "Wake Up Call' features 10 songs dealing with issues of commitment and discipleship pumped along by Petra's solid, if predictable, guitar-based sound. John Schlitt's ever-enthusiastic vocal tones soar impressively through the crisp and unfussy riffs; not quite enough to make the hairs on my neck stand up, but more than most albums I heard in '93. Petra are a dependable outfit with a dependable message. If you're looking for mind bending musical innovation then you'd better search elsewhere. But I'll be getting my 'Wake Up Call' for a while yet. It kicks.
