The Last of Peter
Posted May 06, 2009
By hebrews1316,
I have been a fan of Newsboys ever since I began listening to Christian music a couple of years ago, and I am upset that I never got the chance to see them in concert now that Peter has left the band. Not to dis Michael Tait, but Newsboys is never going to be the same. That said, I have to say that In the Hands of God is a great finish for Peter. However, this album is a mix of duds and studs; the studs being "No Grave," "Glorious," and "In the Hands of God." The songs are up and down through out this album and make you think that the tracks should have been arranged differently. Songs like "The Way We Roll," and "This is Your Life" should have been placed later in the album. "Lead me to Cross" is one of the most popular songs to redo as of late, and the string arrangement on Newsboys' take makes it a strong rendition. And "Dance" will make you dance, or rather, bob your head but again is misplaced on the album. I agree with christianmusicreview's review when they said that Newsboys set the bar high on their album Go. This doesn't come close, but is still a great album. Newsboy fans will not be disappointed.
