Slick production, brilliant musicianship, okay songs and yet an unsatisfying experience. It's hard to distinguish this from 100 other worship albums which is sad when you consider the talent and time invested in this. The album's opening lilting calypso "Open The Door" has a tune which is catchier than chicken pox without catching fire musically. R&B gospel veteran Alfic Silas (she's a lady) turns in the only vocal which could be described as passionate on the album's best song "Send Me". Basically, you've heard it all before and if you are a fan of this plastic perfect pap pop style of worship, my challenge is for you to broaden your musical horizons, spend your money on something with more musical merit and not encourage the makers of this stuff to inflict another synthetic worship experience on your ears. Just flick through these pages and buy something which has 10 boxes at the bottom. Why settle for musical cotton when you can have silk!
