A "Political Album"?
Posted March 24, 2008
By carlbs,
Derek Webb has, historically, been an artist who will challenge listeners to think. A concept sorely lacking in 80% of CCM today.
This album covers material from the marriage relationship to injustices in this fallen world to a commentary on mainstream Christianity's shallow, donut-eating, ear-tickling "fellowship". Make no mistakes, there are no "God is always there when I'm sad" songs with cute G-C-D chord progressions here. Take a gander at the lyrics and see for yourself!
Musically, this is one his strongest and comprehensive works to date.
"Savior on Capitol Hill" and "This Too Shall be Made Right" are especially thought-provoking.
If you want an artist who will make you face your opinions and turn them into Biblical ones by searching the scriptures, you'll like Derek Webb. Sadly, that's one of the reasons this artist's songs aren't popular on CCM radio.
