| REVIEW | Very impressed...
I am very impressed with my first Hillsong United CD. I have stayed away from these in the past because I do not like live CD's (DVD's yes, but not CD's). But after hearing that they were putting out a studio album, I thought I would check it out. This isn't a "blow-you-away" album, but it does offer a lot of standout tracks and very passionate lyrics. I loved the song "Lead Me To The Cross" sung by Brooke Fraser. She has a really cool sounding voice and it fit perfectly with this song. The first four songs are very solid as well and the rest of the songs are good. I think that this is a group/church that is very relevant with their music. My only complaint of this CD, though, was the "sinner's prayer" that they had in the booklet to become a Christian. I do not find that very biblical at all, although that has become all the rage in the last hundred years. It seems like Christianity is straying away from the plan of salvation: Believe, Repent, Confess, Be Baptized, Live Faithfully. But looking past that, the songs are really good. |
