Just great music!
This music is a blessing for my heart and my ears. I can't remember enjoying a soundtrack that much since "The Preacher's Wife" was released. Sure, "The Fighting Temptations" is musically much more up-to-date. There is some traditional gospel like Shirley Caesar's and Ann Nesby's songs and great contemporary gospel by Beyonce, Angie Stone and the others. There is also some great so-called secular stuff. In fact, there isn't a song I wouldn't enjoy. The album is really uplifting. I can't get enough of this music ;-)
This is a really good fun catchy album
especially if you saw the movie, you can visualize the song performances which were great, with Cuba's hilariously frenetic thrashing about (directing) through every performance. Its got great inspiring Gospel mixed with some good ol fashioned devils music.

Editorial Review

Touted by some as Christian music's answer to The Rembrandts, this Nashville four-piece delivers artful, acoustic-based rock. Shipped in to produce two tracks, Adrian Belew captures the band's sweet intensity and clean melodies on "Flood and Liquid," which features a jaw-dropping Gregorian chant sample. Read more

I have been listening to this album now for ELEVEN years...
...and i still enjoy it just as much as i did when i first opened it.This is in my opinion Jars best album to date, it will appeal to a crowd drawn to a more melodic, acoustic, timeless type of sound.It will not appeal to people who are looking for top of the line, wicked head banging, rave dancing drum beats.This is a great album to just listen to, letting it play in the back ground while studying, working, reading, or sit down with it and really just reflect in prayer letting the savior minister to your soul.The lyrics are poetic, deep, and meaningful, i only wish Jars would go back and re-create this type of sound with a new album.

A masterpiece.This is my "trapped on a desert island" CD.
I bought this CD 11 years ago when it first came out.After more than a decade, it still sits in the #1 slot in my changer.Although "Flood" is the song from this CD which received the most airplay, I feel it is the least representative of the work as a whole.Those who bought it specifically for this particular song may have been disappointed by the rest of the CD.Some reviewers stated that they very much disliked the drum tracks on some of the selections, but they never bothered me - there is so much more to enjoy.The music on this CD has an exquisitely woven texture of acoustic melodies and intimately poignant lyrics which never cease to inspire me to honest reflection.Jars of Clay does not offer the stereotypical "praise-fest," but instead lays bare the realities of a personal search for spirituality and oneness with God.Pride and self-doubt, innocence and shame, sorrow and hope, and thankfulness for a Savior are colored through the tracks with what I can only call "powerful delicacy."The acoustics and strings are so soulfully and interestingly layered with the vocals that I can listen to a single track several times in a row and be drawn in by something different each time.I generally tire very quickly of songs and so invest in precious little music.This is the only CD I have ever owned that I could literally let play, track after track, repeatedly, for hours.The sound has not become dated and I have never grown weary of it.This is my "If you were trapped on a desert island and could only have one..." CD.
Spiritually Uplifting
I can not say enough about this album from Jars of Clay! When this album was first out a friend of mine gave it to me in the hopes that it would strengthen my faith.... And did it ever!!!! These guys have a special and unique sound and the words are both biblical and poetic..Since having heard this CD, I have bought but then have given it away two or three different times in the hopes it would be as spiritually uplifting to others as it has been for me! You will not be disappointed (promise) if you buy it. God Bless you! ... Read more

Best Yet!!!
OMG!! This is Relient Ks best CD yet. You should buy it, even if you didn't care for their other CDs. Because....well...it ROCKS!!!

Out pops another good one by Relient K, one of the few bands based on a spelling error...
Relient K's fourth album is not their best, but is still one of their best albums yet.
Liked it!

Very Pleasing To Listen To
I enjoyed just hearing the snippets, especially the first track "Now That I Have You". I like the flavor of that track, as well as the single "Shine". Its funny that I have not found this CD in any of the music stores around here. I recommend this effort to any avid lover of gospel music. As always, Salvador ministers to the soul.......

What Happened?
Before I begin, let me say that I've been a fan of Salvador since "Live in Austin", their actual first album.Upon hearing that Salvador was going to release another album, I was filled with excitement.I was certain they would step it up on this new album, they are a very talented bunch after all.When the album was released, I dashed to my local music store, picked up a copy, and inserted the disk into my cd player...

Superb
This is the first Nicole Nordeman CD that I have bought.It is very good.
No Doubt, one of the best Contemporary Christian recordings...
I have allof Nichole's albums, but her latest one "Brave", and although all of her work is always beautiful, thoughtful, haunting, and wonderfully and refreshingly very Christian, this work is undoubtedly her best.
Another milestone for Nichole
She continues to touch my soul in the deepest places.She sings what I'm thinking and praying about.Not afraid to expose her own weaknesses and insecurities about faith and God.

Beautiful Music To my Ears
I am a very younge mother of 2. But this music is great. I am new in the christian world. And some of these songs...like...NEVER ALONE....and MIRROR...YOU LED ME....are some of the songs that have touched me and made a difference. I do not even remember how I came across them but I believe it was the good Lord. I have always been infulenced by music. This music has taught me and guided me. A wonderful insperation and great music for everyone... yes that is mom and dad included...my husband likes them...as much as he hates to admit it. I say it is a great buy....there are a 1 or 2 songs on the CD I could do without but overall...just wonderfully put together. I look forward to another CD from them.

Girl, At Least the Bar Wasn't That Low
Here's a Punk/Rock Christian band that is okay. Their lyrics are cheesey but the band does produce decent melodies. The singers' voices aren't displeasing to the ear and are even used in interesting counterpoint. The track "Never Alone" is the best one on the record and it is also the only track with decent arranging and decent lyrics. It was in fact the cause that attracted my attention to the band and the reason why I purchased this fair sounding album.This record could have been worse, but it also could have been a lot better. The drummer at least holds the band together and performs nice rolls and rhythms.
Very good Hard Rock CD with a Christian stance.
To be honest:The music itself on this CD reminds me A LOT of the music on the "Josie and The Pussycats" Soundtrack.Very similar music overall.

A 'Top of My Lungs' review
I considered myself an avid PCD fan. First heard about them from my college roomate who had 'Turn up the Radio' and thought they sounded cool and their tunes catchy. I then picked up 'Let my words be few,' 'let your glory fall', 'let the worshippers arise', and some of their older stuff.

Editorial Review

Some Christian mainstream acts spend entire careers aiming for crossover appeal. Call Brian Littrell a little different because he is going against the grain. This Backstreet Boy has traded--for a moment at least--international glitz for a trip back home to his roots, spiritual roots that is, with Read more

Impressive first Christian album...
When I bought this album I had no idea who Brian Littrell was except a burgeoning Christian artist. Then, one day, while reading up on him at his Web site I found out he is a former Backstreet Boy. I read his testimony and was very impressed. I believe his music backs up his beliefs. This album is very good. My favorite songs are Welcome Home, Over My Head, and I'm Alive. Gone Without Goodbye is a good song but very sad, so I can only listen to it occasionally.
The obligatory inspirational album
After somewhat of a dry spell, Backstreet Boys made a comeback last year with the album Never Gone, which tricked a lot of people into thinking they were still relevant. It wasn't a bad album, but it was easy to tell that things weren't the same: there were only two songs released from the album, there was no tour to promote it, and the guys made very few TV appearances. In addition, Brian Littrell, who was initially the lead vocalist, only sang lead on, like, two songs on the whole album.
......WOW....................
I always thought Brain was one of the best singers from his BSB days...he does an amazing job with his debut...this CD is so peacful and relaxing...he has an amazing voice. ... Read more

A CD that truly keeps on giving
This is my first Chris Rice CD that I have ever owned but after many of his songs have been on the radio for years I took a chance on a purchase and I am completely satisfied.This is truly a CD that keeps on giving!The words and different song styles combines with excellent vocals make it a great listen to wake up to in the morning, or fall asleep to at night.You truly feel God's presence and peace when listening to this CD, and I highly recommend it to everyone.

Short Term Memories
I am not going to review each and every song on this CD... suffice to say that the CD is wonderful. If you are a Chris Rice fan , this is a must have, and if you are not yet a fan, this would be a great place to start.
Very Good
This is a very enjoyable 'best of' collection by Chris Rice.He combines solid Christian lyrics with a pleasant mellow sound.

lift him up.
I think this album is not as good as hez first album. His first album is i,ll make it back in 86. thats the real hezekiah. Now dont get me wrong lift him up is hot,but 2 of the songs u people heard on his live recording at radio city 2 is from his 1st recording i,ll make it. Now hez is my no 1 gospel choir, but i really hope he brings back his sound from the old days.
LIFT HIM UP! ENOUGH SAID
I List Hezekiah Walker , Donnie McClurckin and Micah Stampley as gospel vocalist with the most range and you hear how much range he has at the end of lift him up, he is almost singing soprano. This album takes awhile to get used to.There is a Mix between live songs and studio songs, different from all of the rest of Walkers' albums.My favorite song is lift him up, and im pretty much satisfied with the album because it lifts me up when i listen to it.I wasblessed to see Hezekiah Walker live and he sung lift him up, ive played in my car ever since and its hard not to shout off of it.I must say I like the live recordings better because i love live instruments .The one thing i must say is that Hezekiah Walker does not dissapoint and his music is about ministry and not about all the technical stuff that musicians and song writers worry about. Hez carries an anointing nobody else carries, he is a pastor first and a singer second, his albums are not about lyrics there about ministry and lifting up jesus.so if you are someone that cares more about lyrics than anointing you might want totry someone else whose anointing is not as powerful as Hezekiah Walker.

A Good Buy!
First let me state that, I really loved this album. You will not regret purchasing this album.

A Classic
I've owned this cd for over a year now and this is my absolute favorite Christian cd to listen to. I'm always searching for a fresh sound and quality music, and this one did it for me. The whole cd is awesome.Both the arrangements and vocals are excellent. This cd is nice to worship to by singing along to it or it is just as nice to layback and listen to and meditate about God.Some of my favorites are "Be Though My Vision", "Amazing Grace", "It is Well with My Soul", "By and By", "Power in the Blood" and "Just a CLoser Walk with Thee". If you are looking for something old, yet a little fresh, give this one a try.In my opinion, every song was sung, arranged, and produced with perfection.

The best cd I'v e bought in a long time
Because of mp3s readily being available, I have found I no longer buy the whole cd but just my favorites. After listening to the previews, I bought the whole cd and am so glad I did A cross between updated classic hymns and soulful sound, Selah has outdone themselves on this one. Some songs I have to play again from the emotion they stir. An outstanding compilation with a tremendous sound of harmony and haunting depth of heart.

The old days brought alive
I really enjoyed the CD by Selah because it brought back my days in the pews listening to the classic hymns and yet the new arrangements brought them alive. I encourage you to try this CD because there are wonderful words in the old hymns. ... Read more

My goodness, best ccm album since Jesus Freak
Listen up please. I am here to tell how awesome Leeland is. I have been searching for an awesome( something that is different) CCM album to come out for years. Don't get me wrong, there has been alot of good ones in CCM, which I am not even bother to list cuz it is going take forever. But problem with most CCM is that alot of the bands sounds like rip off of secular bands and alot of them have good intentions but most of them have no idea of the word, creativity. Man, when I heard how good this album is from jesusfreakhideout, I orderedthe cd right away. Man, these guys know how to rock. Best praise and worship album album ever with hints of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, U2, and Coldplay. Yeah, just give a listen to the album previews on Amazon and you'll have a glimpse of what I am talking about. Don't miss out on the good stuff.

Amazing album!
I saw the title video on TV and couldn't wait for the album to come out.It's a beautiful collection of songs and some of them really grab your attention.I hope they go far.

A strong debut
The hype on this band has been astronimical, so when I got the CD I was a little suspicious of what I'd find. Could they be as good as everyone else said? Well, they're definitely good. "Reaching" is a great song and deserves a ton of radio air play. "Beautiful Lord" makes an incredible worship song. Most all the tracks are good, though those two in particular really stand out. Hindalong did a great job in producing, and Leeland's vocals show promise for a long future (he's a teenager and rocks harder than most adults). I look forward to what they come up with next. ...

CeCe Winans- Purify Us All!
I know I just wrote a review for Kirk Franklin's Hero, but the first gospel album I bought before that was actually CeCe Winans' Purified.I had come to the point that I really needed musically something to reach my spirit as overall I'm not getting it from just our everyday played mainstream music.Especially since I'm going to church on the regular now and totally enjoy when our singers put it down, I have been looking back to listening to more gospel music.Sure, I still listen to some mainstream music with it's crazy ways at time (I'm not changed totally, but I am in the process of changing), but it turns me away from it more than it turns me on to it.Maybe it's the good Lord speaking to me.I don't know, but back to the topic at hand.I was so glad that CeCe was the first album that connected to me.I put it into my Discman one night and just loved it from the very start.It is just so calming to listen to her music, it's like anything that you go through at the point is totally lost for awhile as you listen to her lovely voice.As someone said before I wrote mine, the album is very soul-soothing!Momma's Kitchen is one of my favorites as we all can relate to the song, at least virtually most of us with those good memories of growing up and being together with family and sharing those good times and wanting to go back to that.So beautiful!You Will is just as lovely, but Pray takes the cake for me.This was the song that prompted me to buy her CD as I heard it on the Celebration of Gospel on BET.So great of a concept and I totally love the beat and feel of the song!Something we all can take from when times get rough and to just speak to God through prayer and just talking to him.All I Need and Just Like That keep the theme of great songs rolling along, all the way through I Promise (The Wedding Song) up to the last three: A Place Like This, Purified, and He's Concerned.Such a beautiful woman with a lovely voice singing some wonderful music that can take some of your pain away.This is an album to buy if you are looking to get back into gospel or just want great gospel music.Thanks, CeCe!5 stars!

Wow! That woman is beautiful!!!!
I love Cece's voice. She's so incredibly annointed, however I've never heard this album. Actually, I'm not even rating the album itself, but Cece's incredible beauty. I mean seriously...she's an incredibly beautiful woman. I mean like seriously, seriously hot. I seen her on TBN not to long ago and I was like...whoa! Who's is that fine sister?!?!?! I don't know who she's married to, but take it from this single white boy...brother...you are incredibly blessed of God to be married to a woman that beautiful and that talented. You should thank the Lord Jesus everyday of your life for that woman. SHE'S HOTTTTTT!!!! God bless you Cece! We love you!!!!
You Can't Fail With CeCe.
For a true Christian Spirit that glows through Ms. Winans, you'll always find her music sung straight from the heart. A Precious Pearl in the Gospel community, "Purified" continues in the CeCe tradition, of lifting our souls to a higher plain. ... Read more

Great CD!I just love it!
I am very much a fan of this cd and it has been in my car cd player for close to a month now.I do not own any other Christian cds but I had heard Sarah's song "Kingdom Come" and LOVED IT!When I got the cd I realized I loved nearly every song on it!!!!So I bought an additional copy for my friend!
Shining Sara
Confesion: Sara Groves surprised me with her sound on this cd!
This is Christian
So much that bears the label "Christian" is embarrassing and not at all reflective of what I am about, but this CD tells what I find compelling and amazing about being a follower of Jesus. Not fluffy entertainment, but a simple musical expression of the goodness we want to bring to our world. Well done, Sara Groves. ... Read more

2006 Top 3 Albums
If this album didn't come out at its destinated time, 2006 would have been one of the worst years for gospel music.Outside of Kurt Carr's cd, this album makes singing gospel music worthwhile.Donald Lawrence knows how to send out a group and bring in a new era of singers.That's basically what this finale does, it brings into the forefront the future of the gospel music scene.We have new artists emerging in Blanche (McAlister-not sure if she is going to just do the first name like MaDonna, Cher, Mandisa, ummmmm, think about it!!!!!!!!), DeWayne Woods (thanks for the testimony and great Sunday morning rocking song - this is hint to all church musicians sing this song when church is a lil dead and pick it up), The Murrills, LaJeune Thompson (sang girl), and Sheri from the duo of Ted & Sheri.There are so many hits on the whole cd from God Is, God, You Are An Heir, Giants, Blessing from Abraham, Encourage Yourself, of course all of the older stuff.One thing missing is Kelly Price should have guested on I Walk With God or bring back Stephanie Mills.

Excellent CD/DVD
I love D. Lawrence, he is an extremely talented gospel artist.
You Done Good Donald!
When it comes to donald Lawrence's music, it's either hit or miss with me.Well...this album was Hit with a capital H.I love his newer songs and the fact that he blended them with the old ones.You have to hear Finale Act I as well, their twins. I love Matthew 28, Giants, Encourage Yourself ( At first I thought it was Sheri, from Ted & Sheri).He difinitely went out with a bang on this one!Buy it! ... Read more

why?
why do so many people rate this so high? its very mundane, and tends to rip off other mundane music (making it more mundane). with the exception of the techno track, this is a pretty boring album, yet another album for fans of christian music to be ashamed of (if they can detect its mediocrity).

Unrefined Brilliance
Mute Math is a band ready to conquer to world. Combining elements of rock, electro, industrial, jazz, and experimental, they have a sound that at first listen sounds slightly crazy. The second listen, however, was much better--I love it! Paul Meany's Sting-style vocals provide the perfect vibe to their already hopping sound. And if you haven't seen them live, do it! Watching Paul play keytar on top of his piano is a site to behold.
o.k
I actually saw these guys when they opened for Switchfoot.THey were replacing athlete due to a birth in the bands family.I guess if you like bands that are loud, musically untalented and generally obnoxious sounding then this is the band for you.I don't know how anyone can praise their lyrics you can't understand a word the singer says while singing.I really wish athlete had been there, then at least we wouldn't have left during the open set. ...
