Not his best...

By hebrews1316,
Chris truly gets my props for being one of the leaders of the modern worship scene. However, "And If Our God is For Us..." is not his best. He does have 3 outstanding albums in "Not to Us," "See the Morning," and "Hello, Love," so I guess 3 out of 6 (I am not including his Christmas album and his live CD) ain't bad. He made his stamp with "The Noise We Make" but he blew out of the water with "Not to Us;" just in my humble opinion. As for this release, it is one that you can pick and choose. Like I'd take "I Will Follow" (though it is kind of getting worn out by now), "Our God," "Majesty of Heaven," "Lovely," "Faithful," and "Jesus My Redeemer." That's not even half the album; hence, the three stars. I just doesn't have enough "pop." (Not in the sense of the genre of music.) I admire his heart and his passion for God, but sometimes his writing is mediocre, shallow, and more horizontal than vertical. Which I believe was the case with some of the songs on the album. His heart truly shines in a live setting, so don't miss out on seeing him live. With that said, maybe after seeing these songs performed, I may have a different opinion. As for now, this is where I stand. View All Music And Book Reviews By hebrews1316 | View hebrews1316's Profile
