Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Very Disappointing Comment: I own all of the Crowder CDs and books. I love them all...except this one. I gave it a chance, but it felt like a CD full of "filler" songs. None of the tracks stood out to me. Very disappointing... Customer Rating: Summary: Pretty good, I guess. Comment: I'll start out by saying that I think most of the critical praise bestowed on The David Crowder Band is justly deserved. Crowder is a forward thinker, an artist, a true worshipper, and an intellectual. The last album, A Collision, thrust the modern worship genre into totally uncharted territory. It was progressive, epic, heartfelt, inspiring, and original. Many have seen Remedy as a return to form of sorts, resorting back to 10 back-to-basics songs and losing the lofty concept motif. The results, in my opinion, are a mixed bag. The songs stand well enough on their own, but put together they play like a B-Sides record. Who else could put soaring arena rock, bluegrass, techno/nintendo rock, ballads, and reworked hymns on the same 10 song record? I rest my case. On A Collision the sheer number of tracks and the concept weighed out the mediocre material. Remedy lacks the cohesiveness of A Collision for that reason - there are not enough foundational tracks to make the toss-off tracks seem great. Don't get me wrong here. I like this record and listen to it often. In fact, I think "The Glory Of It All" is the best thing they've done yet. It's just that in light of what we all know DCB are capable of, this just doesn't hold up quite as well as a record. Also, the production is flashy, flashy, flashy - lots of time went into bells and whisltes, but the bottom line - good songs individually; pretty uneven as a record. Customer Rating: Summary: A wagon worth jumping on... Comment: David Crowder is unreal. If you're not sure what to think of his music yet, go out and by Illuminate, A Collision, and Remedy. If you're not hooked by then, you will never like his music. It's the kind that grows on you... and once you understand who he is as a musician and figure out what he's trying to accomplish with each "conceptual" album, you'll be on the wagon. Customer Rating: Summary: wow Comment: this cd is really amazing the songs are very God centered, the praise genuine. It has a variety of upbeat and softer songs which were all very well done!! I really enjoy this music Great band. Customer Rating: Summary: Christian Music Comment: I was dissapointed with this CD. The audio has some very strange and deliberate insertions of whoever did the recording must have thought they were being creative. It is my opinion that it was not creative at all, but it ruined it completely. Track one, one of my favorite songs "The Glory of it All" sounds like someone unplugged the power and hurried to plug it back in. This occured a few times. I don't know if this artist does a normal version, but if he does maybe he could send me one for free. Buy it? Yes or No? I guess it depends on your age. I wouldn't. More Reviews
Editorial Reviews: The cruel joke about contemporary Christian music for years has been that the recipe for successful CCM is to take a neutered form of some "alternative" rock from ten years ago, replace the word "baby" with "Jesus" and there you go--please do not forget to pick up your Dove award on your way out the door! At first, this seems to be the case with the David Crowder Band's new album, Remedy. "Can You Feel It," after all, sounds like tepid alt-y dance-pop with "edgy" distorted vocals, while "Everything Glorious" sounds like James Blount throwing off another adult contemporary snoozer while playing Pac Man. Thankfully, it's an eclectic release. Crowder's adept at mixing and matching genres, as anyone who's listened to his bluegrass-flavored A Collision--or its even rootsier follow-up, B Collision--will attest. Remedy sounds like a strange mix tape, but there is undeniable passion and skill at work here. Crowder, who's affiliated with the Praise & Worship movement, really knows how to write rousing anthems, even when making dubious production choices. --Mike McGonigal
