It took me awhile to warm up to AR, but once I did I cannot get enough of their music. This album gives me another reason to love them more. AR is a true testimony of how trials produce perseverance, and "Stories" puts this into motion. This album is very refreshing to the mundane CCM music scene right now. "Change in the Making" is much like "This Could be Our Day," and it pairs well with "Fight Another Day" (a TobyMac cover that suits their style well) to start off the album. It is almost as if the self-titled debut and "Stories" are seamlessly entwined; like they are dealing with the same issues. However, "Stories" shows greater mastery of musical elements and songwriting. The lyrics are raw and very emotional; which is show on "Need You Now." You can truly hear the growth of Jenny and crew in these songs. "Little Light of Mine" will lyrically sound familiar, and I think AR did a great job of putting their artistry into this song. I'd have to say that the stand out song for me would have to be "Won't Let Me Go," as this song will be relatable for many people, and will encourage them as well. I was truly touch by this song. I enjoyed "My Story" which summed up the album well: "We are his story, we are his song/A beautiful melody that shows the world his love
When we’re on this journey, when we’re on this road/We are a part of the greatest story ever told." I like how AR is able to remain strong in their faith amidst their various trails, and "Stories" is an encouragement to us all.
