This is a great album, with the songwriting very strong. But I find the production very clinical. Yes it's clearly British, but Redman's Beautiful News just has the edge over this release because it's more beefy. I think Tim Hughes sometimes needs to sing stronger in his deeper range instead of squarking up to those high notes. Some fantastic songs, some which are the best in 2007, but just not played so well on this album. A worthy 8 squares however.

This album reminds me a lot of some early Delirious? releases. Not because it necessarily sounds the same (although there are obvious similarities caused by the fact that it's an essentially guitar-based indie-rock production), but because it has much the same vibe - there's a freshness here that raises the goose-pimples in much the same way as the first time I heard "Live and in the Can". Stylistically, though, this is a decidedly 21st century album, with riffs reminiscent of The Killers and Coldplay, among others. I can't quite give it a perfect ten as some of the quieter tracks seem a little lacking in passion compared with the foot-stomping opener, but overall it's still one of the best worship albums I've heard in a long time.
