Newsboys' "In The Hands of God"
Posted May 13, 2009
By soundguywumc,
So I'm a long time fan of the Newsboys, I grew up listening to them. Finally some new material! Goodness! I hate it when bands wait two and half to three years to give their fans something new. "Go" was great but come on guys, we need some material to keep us happy. It's also a shame that Peter Furler (the front man and songwriter) left the band. Peter, in my opinion was a pretty strong backbone. Anyways, enough of crying over the loss.
The new album "In The Hands of God" brings back Jody Davis (guitarist from 1993-2003) and has that classic Newsboys sound along with some new things musically. I really enjoy the music part this time around. It seems they've been holding back on the music mix the last couple full length, non-worship albums. Thrive and Go just lack the talent that I know the band has. I've seen them live, it has been a while though. I don't think I've seen them in concert for years. However, I know that they're talented musicians with a heart for the Lord and a mission to reach people who don't know Christ. This album is definitely a favorite for 2009. Though there are some songs that I'm not the biggest fan of, it's definitely a step up, thanks Newsboys for keeping up the hard work!
Favorite Tracks- "The Way We Roll" , "No Grave" , "In the Hands of God" , "My Friend Jesus" , "Lead Me to the Cross" , and "Dance"
don't get me wrong, the album is great, but those are my favorites.
"In The Hands of God" is in stores and online now! Go pick up a copy!
