This is a very contemporary praise and worship album from a very contemporary band, so expect some The Edge-style guitars and vocals which could have graced a Hillsong United album (indeed, these guys come from Newcastle, Australia). But they are not particularly derivative and also have a folk-tinged female singer. It's a studio recording which suits me fine - I'm not much of a fan of recorded worship events, really, as they rarely capture what it was like to be there. Much better (in my opinion) is to have a well-recorded album to listen to that includes guitar solos, etc, leaving the calls to join in (and "second verse again") for when you see them live. This album fits the bill every nicely, therefore. It has the up-tempo stuff ("Lift My Eyes"), the reflective stuff ("I'm In Awe"), the worship wall of sound stuff ("Covered") and the anthemic stuff ("Strongest Place"). It's well-written, recorded, played, sung and produced - which made it very easy to listen to and concentrate on the music rather than the medium. The overall theme of the album is that our strongest place is the place of worship of Jesus Christ and they convey that well.
