One of the Best and Most Unrecognized Albums Ever!

Seriously, this album is great from start to finish. Every song is amazing and memorable. Every note and lyric has meaning. Why this album didn't make Downhere the next Household Name in Christian music is a mystery to me.
From the opening upbeat riffs of "The More," to the amazing piano driven ballad on how deep God's love for us is, "A Better Way," to the standout "Dying To Know You," to the rocking "Stir" or uplifting "Little is Much," to the thought provoking lyrics of "The Real Jesus" or the worshipful "Remember Me," to the nostalgic feeling "1000 Miles Apart," to the rousing finale "I Miss You Here." All of this tracks and everything else are just plain amazing. Downhere has crafted an amazing album, one of the best of the year when it was released, and in retrospect, one of the best of the entire decade, maybe even of all time.
It may not have been the most legendary in the industry, nor broken any sales records or brought Downhere into prominent status. It may not have gone Gold or led to No. 1 singles, but as you listen to each and every note, you'll wonder why the heck not. It's THAT good and even if the industry as a whole didn't take much notice, that doesn't mean this still isn't one of the best records to come out of the Christian Music industry in a long time.
