nice offering from a young worship leader, sounds like it comes from the heart, agree that translating some of the songs for main congregational worship would be very hard if not impossible.
but i don't think that this was the intention, Owen has clearly worked hard (with limited funds as some of the recording is a bit poor) to produce an EP that is fresh and unique, challenging the status quo of same old christian dross, 4beat/ 4bar smash it out on a electric guitar that is still very popular with the big worship leaders. not that there is a problem with a bit of 4:4, but when it is all you do there is.
cliches, look in the bible 2 sam 22:2, psalm 18:2 + 61:2 +92:15, Isa 26:4, matt 7:24 all taking about god being are rock, i have no problem with scripture in worship, so very cheep shot Simon Eden and whist you mite not like i, i personal found this ep to be a grate help in my own walk with Jesus. most male worship leader would play second fiddle to hanna singing (only exception Israel Houghton).
overall good, fresh, unique, attempt to get your own music out in an industry dominated by very gifted but getting a bit old and tired worship leaders. well done owen
Brutal. No comment on the overall feel of what I believe to be a great offering if (as you say) personal worship. One thing that really gets mr though. No one ever slates redman or Hughes in these reviews for using cliches. . . Strange no?
Completely disagree with Cross Rhythms reviewer calling Scripture cliches. I'm sorry, nothing could be further from the truth. I really don't understand this comment, when the bible exhorts us to 'speak to on another with psalms hymms and spiritual songs' - the more of God's powerful word in worship the better! King David sang what became scripture, and so set a precedent.
Nice melodies and varied chord sequences. Interesting use of different instruments creates a unique sound. Great to chill out to and respond to god on a personal level.
Perhaps a couple of slightly sloppy vocal recordings in places.
Great album.
