The British band releases its sixth CD. While there may not be any new classics such as “I Could Sing of Your Love Forever,” this is one of the band’s better efforts.

“Grace” and “Inside Outside” sound like listening to U2 while “God in Heaven,” with its march-like cadence, reminds me of The Pretenders’ “Mystery Achievement” (had to dig through the vinyl to find that one). “Rain Down” has a great sing-along chorus.

Lyrically, “Majesty (Here I Am)” is contemplative praise and worship. “With You” builds until the final shout-it-out-at-the-top-of-your-lungs verse “I know you’re in this pain, And when I’ve got it all, And I’m clinging to you, ‘Cus that’s all that we can do.”

The piano-driven “Mountain High” has an interesting juxtaposition between mountain-sized pain and God’s ways. “I Was Blind” has a pinch of “Amazing Grace” and the truth “How you know me, yet you love me.”

“Feel It Coming On” not only rocks but has awesome lyrics about freedom through surrendering it all to Jesus.

If you do pick this disk up, just be careful that you don’t accidentally try using the disk itself to burn some files onto it. You’ll literally see what I mean.
