Barlowgirl has really improved since their last album. Their self-titled debut was okay, but it lacked lyrical depth. Another Journal Entry finds the band with more experience... and it shows.
They have really stepped things up with their sound and lyrics. "Grey", a tune warning against hypocrisy, starts the album off. "Let Go" and "I Need You To Love Me" both had radio hit written all over them from the start. "Enough" is a cover of Chris Tomlin's worship anthem. It is a good song, but I would have loved to see another original in its place. "Take Me Away" lies more on the pop side of the musical spectrum... I personally like them better on other songs. "Psalm 73 (My God's Enough)", featuring Todd Agnew's backing vocals, is an unflinching declaration of what God means to them. "5 Minutes Of Fame" ruins. It just seems out of place. "Thoughts of You" is a pretty ballad about meditating on God. "No One Like You", a cover of the David Crowder Band song, is another that isn't original to them. "Never Alone (Acoustic)" is fine for fans of the original song, but I would've rather just heard a new one. Overall, this album delivers. Barlowgirl has really gotten better over the course of making this album. They are more able to show off their voices and instrumentation skills... and gain new fans. This album is a vast improvement. I'd recommend it! View All Music And Book Reviews By Consumed | View Consumed's Profile
