Actually, the "banal level of the language of Zion" appears to be word for word taken from the book of Zephaniah (King James version)!!!
If a band is lifting lyrics verbatim from our Book of Life, then how can a Christian presume to slate what is, in effect, the Word of God? Shame that the purported negative aspects are glorified, because Truth2tell played their socks off for us last year, and are much better live, as the other letter says.
I'm guessing that Mr Hayter hasn't had the good fortune of seeing Truth2tell live. It's true that this mini-album doesn't show them at their best, but it was recorded some time ago and is more an accompaniment to their live set. I'd be hesitant to write off any new band when they're in the development stage - even the Beatles dropped some tremendous clangers on that first record. This is to all intents and purposes worship music, either for participation (Sing Now) or not (Eternity) - and this is reinforced when you see them perform. To therefore describe the lyrics as "the most banal level of the language of Zion" is not only unrelentingly harsh, it's also fundamentally misguided. A bit like saying that Give Me Joy In My Heart is a bit repetitive: technically accurate, but entirely missing the point.
I got this CD!!! it ROCKS!!!
looks like u got da cover the wrong way round tho
I have to say I don't agree with Mr Hayter's review. I love this CD as much as I love seeing Truth2tell performing live (I haven't missed a single gig as yet).I feel really uplifted when I listen to their album, in a way that I've never before experienced with Christian music. Both music and my faith are very important to me, and to have the two brought together by this band is truly amazing. I listen to their album so much, and I never get tired of hearing it. Thank you Truth2tell for a great CD!!
