Not a lot of people know this...

Advantages: One of the top songs of the year
Disadvantages: Only one from an excellent album released in the charts by this awesome group

Sixpence none the richer's super hit "kiss me" is one of those rare songs which occasionally come along, and just stick in your mind. So where did this group suddenly spring from? I have been following them for a while now, and their roots are quite interesting. They have released a number of albums, and as far as I understand singles aswell. So why didn't we hear about them? Simple - they were all released into the Christian charts in America. ...
...songs, many of which I have heard played in churches. This is one of the rare occasions whereby a Christian artist released a single into the "normal" charts - and it achieved amazing success. Just goes to show that church music has come a long way from "onward Christian Soldier," and such... An excellent allround song, with a fresh original sound - and a message behind it than is unbeatable! ...

Review of Wonder What's Next - Chevelle

Good Monsters - like God-zilla?

Advantages: Original, vocal-driven, catchy, deep, warrants repeated plays
Disadvantages: A weak track or two

...in September 2006, tracks from Good Monsters have been used to promote several TV programs in the US including Bones and House. Good Monsters was also named CCM Magazine's Album of the Year for 2006, Christianity Today's number 1 album of 2006, won the Best Rock/Contemporary Album of the Year Dove award in 2007 and peaked at number 58 on the Billboard 200 chart in America. Pretty impressive stuff. Tracklisting 1. Work Starting confidently ...
...atone 6. Good Monsters Returning to the earlier upbeat tempos, Good Monsters is more of a pop tune than the previous three tracks with a thrumming guitar and more intrusive drum beat. Despite the elevation in energy and tempo, the instruments still play second fiddle to Heseltine as he tells a weird analogy of "Good Monsters" (christians) who fail to live out their faith because they are so self-obsessed and thus allow the world to become ...

Review of Good Monsters - Jars Of Clay

Save me from my unhealthy lust of material things

Advantages: Some thought provoking lyrics and toe-tapping tracks
Disadvantages: Not the greatest Delirious? album, no instant classics

Overview Kingdom of Comfort is the last studio album produced by Delirious? prior to their disbandment later this year (2009) and the first without Stew on drums. History making on several levels, this is unfortunately not the best album ever produced by the boys from Littlehampton. Tracklisting 1. Kingdom of Comfort The title track of the album is heartfelt call to God requesting deliverance from the consumer society in ...
...creates in us. This track is one of the highlights of the album with lyrics that make you think about the way in which we in the West live in disregard of our spiritual lives and also our fellow man in poorer nations. I really like the way this track works up into a huge instrumental crescendo of ethereal vocals and organs over the lead vocals before the track just stops dead. Best lyric: 'I rob myself of innocence With the poison of indifference' ...

Review of Kingdom Of Comfort - Delirious

Delirious?ly good

Advantages: Outstanding studio album with loads of sing along instant classics and provocative lyrics
Disadvantages: None - an outstanding album

...The single released from The Mission Bell, Paint the Town Red is another supremely upbeat pop album with it's own singalong chorus and steadily thrumming guitar throughout. The lyrics refer to the envangelistic responsibility of each christian as per the Great Commission of Jesus. A feel good classic. Best lyric: 'We're gonna paint this big old town red With the blood of Jesus!' 11. Take Off My Shoes Following the breakneck speed of Paint ...
...be massive' before giving The Mission Bell a well deserved 3 stars out of 5. If you were looking to enter the world of Delirious? this is definitely the album I would recommend.
