I have only heard one song off of "A Collision". The song: "Here Is Our King" I would have to say that song completely blew me away. I'll check out their albums! Now David Crowder Band is on my favorites.
A Collision Indeed| Posted September 24, 2007
This CD is simply amazing. It is like a great story. Awesome songs. Crowder Band is great at what they do, this is a prime example.
Here it comes now...| Posted August 22, 2007
The David Crowder Band's A Collision is truly a unique album. This CD is interesting to me because it very different from what you usually hear from the genre of worship music. It is eclectic and artistic. Rare indeed. The first thing making this album unique is the fact that it is divided into different parts. Each part brings a new sound. The A Part (tracks 1-5) is the radio hits section, including songs "Here Is Our King", Wholly Yours", and "Foreverandever, Etc...". Part B (6-11) takes a different turn, including the track that inspired the title, "A Beautiful Collision" and experimenting with spirituals and bluegrass and covering a song written by Sufjan Stevens. The C Part (12-16) is perhaps the most experimental section. "You Are My Joy" is one of my favorite songs on this album. Part D consists mostly of musical interludes. Good lyrics, good instrumentation, and unique vocals round out this grouping of songs. A Collision may be too unique for some, but I say this album is a great addition to a CD collection. The uniqueness of this album is just the beauty of it. David Crowder and his band have brought us something new... a departure from the crowded worship genre.
A Beautiful and Odd Collision| Posted August 16, 2007
David Crowder*Band's newest full album is aptly titled. Not only are the subjects in his album all about a collision between 'divinity' and 'depravity', but the styles of music are so varied, different, and unique, that this album appears to be a collision of styles; both beautiful and odd.
The album has four sections, each strange and unique. The first thing the album does is let you know David Crowder is back with his wacky imagination. The first song is a quick, fuzzy recording of the chorus of a song called 'Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven, But No One Wants to Die.' Odd for sure. And David breaks normal album etiquette by following this strange opener with a decidedly slow, worshipful, piano song - the type of song artists usually place at the end of albums. But after these two tracks, more normal Crowder fare comes in, including the three radio hits, 'Here Is Our King', 'Wholly Yours', and 'Foreverandever etc.'
Then the collision begins. Following these songs is the very quick violin track '(A Quiet Interlude)' which leads into the second part of the album which includes title track, 'A Beautiful Collision', which I thought was very well written and catchy. But then David Crowder goes a completely different route. 'Soon I Will Be Done With the Troubles of This World' is strange indeed; the beginning reminds me of something from 'Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events.' 'Be Lifted or Hope Rising' is strange also. 'I Saw the Light,' is completely and totally, boot stompin' bluegrass. David's voice proves its versatility as it sounds exactly like a bluegrass singer. The ending to the song is so strange and weird it had me replaying it over and over again, and got many laughs from my family. And, to add to the strangeness, 'O God Where Art Thou?' is very melancholy and Psalm-like, despite the 'dah dah dah dah' chorus.
After '(B Quiet Interlude)' the best part of the album comes along. It starts with the weirdest track on the CD, 'Do Not Move' which has an infectious techno opening and I thought the bridge was really cool with its piano. 'Come Awake', my favorite song, demonstrates some excellent lyrics: 'Come awake/ from sleep arise/you were dead/become alive/wake up, wake up/ open your eyes/ climb from your gave/into the light.' And then comes 'You Are My Joy' with its hard opening and ascending chorus that somehow seems to inspire joy just by hearing it. 'Our Happy Home' a 16th century hymn, is redone Crowder style and is very strange (what's new), with an Egyptian tinge.
The 10 second (Repeat/Return), which is just distorted feedback from an electric guitar signals the last part of the album. 'We Win!' is a dance/rock song that is nice, but the following track 'Rescue Is Coming (Be Walk Down Stairs)' is better, with its great songwriting and catchy, powerful, chorus. 'A Conversation' is as it says...a conversation between David and a reporter than leads into the final song, 'The Lark Ascending' (the song is half a conversation).
Somehow the album feels like something massive and epic, and you start getting goose bumps at the end when the phone conversation turns to the subject of the last song on the album, which in turn is slowly rising in volume as they speak. Even with all of this though, I still felt like I was missing something from it all...sort of like I needed David Crowder to explain to me the last song, like he was explaining to the reporter across the phone in 'A Conversation.' Nevertheless, this is a solid album; the vast number of varied songs guarantees you'll find something in here you'll like.
great album| Posted July 24, 2007
i would say that this has to be one of the best praise and worship albums on the market. between this and illuminate, i don't know which is better
it was great| Posted July 18, 2007
first of all, I like it because its the same price as any other CD but it has atleast 15 songs on it. I get very disapointed when a CD has less than 10 songs on em. secondly I like this CD because its diferent than your average christain music, and third I like it because the lead singer is soooo diferent looking, and personality wise than your average christain group, so basicly you could say all in all I love david crowder band, there awsome. I just wish they would come out with some new stuff already I mean come on its been like 3 years, I love you the david crowder band but come on, and get to work on a new album lol
