MercyMe At Their Best
Posted November 13, 2007
By finalcloud123,
Since I started listening to Christian music I have loved MercyMe's music. From "I Can Only Imagine" to "Spoken For" I've liked pretty much everything that they've done. But "Undone" takes the cake for what I consider to be their best outing to date.
"Where You Lead Me" begins the record with a great hook on the chorus. Next up is "Everything Impossible" which speaks of having faith in something that we cannot see. The first radio single off the album is "Here With Me" which is a catchy pop tune with yet another great hook that the band is known for. "In The Blink of An Eye" is probably the catchiest tune on the entire album. It talks about living for Christ instead of ourselves and speaks of the hope we have in Christ. In a blink of an eye that is when/ I'll be closer to you than I've ever been/ Time will fly, but until then/ I'll embrace every moment I'm given/ There's a reason I'm alive for a blink of an eye/. "Unaware" comes in next with an almost dreamy tune which speaks of being in love with God. My personal favorite "Homesick" is the sixth track on the album. The song brings comfort to those who have lost loved ones by letting Christians know that In Christ there are no goodbyes.
The seventh track on the record is "When You Spoke My Name" which has yet another infectious chorus. "A Million Miles Away" speaks of God's omnipotence, while "Caught Up In The Middle" helps us to see that God's plan is much greater than our own. "Never Alone" tells of just what the title implies, as Christians we always have Christ at our side. The message of the cross is evident with the song "Undone". "Shine On" is a challenge to Christians to be lights for all men. The album ends on a tender note with "Keep Singing". The closer talks about praising God through the mountains and the valleys.
All in all "Undone" is MercyMe's most complete recording to date. Infectious choruses, a great pop/rock sound, and lyrics that always point to Christ, if you are a MercyMe fan then this is a no brainer. If you are a fan of pop/rock then you can't go wrong with "Undone". View All Music And Book Reviews By finalcloud123 | View finalcloud123's Profile
