Summary: Even better than I expected!
Comment: I purchased and LOVED Phil Wickham's CD "Cannons" and it is one of my favorite CD's. I love his style, his voice, his passionate lyrics. He personifies great praise music and does it with a U2-Keene feel. With that said, I was a little hesitant to buy this CD...I figured I would be a little disappointed with his debut album after loving his sophomore album so much. In my mind, I figured it just can't be a good. But I was wrong. It is just as good.
I was hooked right away with the opening song "Grace." This is a powerful song and Phil's vibrato is perfection. This song is just as strong as any on "Cannons." But it doesn't end there. I loved "Messiah," "Mystery," especially "Divine Romance," and "I Will Wait For You There," which is a powerful acoustic song (with some strings). And "Holy, Holy, Holy" is also quite powerful.
This CD has a little less British rock feel as "Cannons," where that influence is more prevalent, but you can still hear it in his voice. He has an amazing gift and he is a major talent in a watered-down Praise and Worship industry. His lyrics, though simple at times, are still poetic and truly reflect a passion and desire to follow and praise God. We need more like him. If you don't have this CD or "Cannons," get immediately!

Summary: Like this a lot!
Comment: Okay, so I first heard of Phil Wickham when I went to a David Crowder concert. He is an amazing vocalist. He played on only his acoustic guitar and sang- no band. He was simply amazing. His heart to worship is awesome and I really felt that at the worship concert. I love the lyrics to his songs because of how he worships the Lord. Yes- something that is creative, sounds like a person that knows music and loves the Lord! I actually like this CD better than the Cannons although there are songs on Cannons I like, some of the background music I think is too much. I prefer him and his guitar, some drums . . . I think less is more really does him well. Although on this album I think he has a similar sound to Coldplay on some songs. This album is great!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: WOW! Amazing, amazing CD!
Comment: I can't say enough good things about this CD! I originally bought it because I loved the song Divine Romance. I was totally expecting it to be like every other CD I've ever bought, a couple great songs, a couple good songs, and the rest you can take or leave. I put it on in the background while I was working and I kept looking up after every song saying "wow"! It was like, song 1 "wow", song 2 "wow", song 3 "wow", until eventually I finshed the whole thing and I was just really blown away. I think the lyrics are very moving and the sound is great. I know some other people have said this, but some of the songs do have a Coldplay feel to them, but then some of them are completely different. I love the fact that he writes and plays all the songs, no canned pop music here. My favorite, although it's hard to choose one, is track 3 "Mystery", it's got some serious sound and depth to it, I love it. I just bought Cannons, his new CD, and I have to say, he's really got a unique sound and heart for God which together make for an amazing musical experience. I highly recommend both CD's.
