I like the new Newsboys, I like the original Newsboys, I like Peter Furler's new stuff... I like it all.
A few highlights...
"The King Is Coming"- Reminds me of the Triumphal Entry in the Gospels, and the greater one yet to be.
"God's Not Dead (Like A Lion)"- I'm really loving this; I can see why it's the title track. It really sticks in my mind.
"Your Love Never Fails"- Upbeat and catchy. I usually like energetic tracks like this.
"Here We Stand"- Capturing the real essence of worship. It'd be *great* to hear this live in concert.
"Forever Reign"- Truly majestic. Through lyrical repetition, keeping focused on great things.
"I Am Second"- The real rock track here. It's like a continuation of the Born Again CD.
...and really, I like the whole thing- a solid worship effort from the new Newsboys.
It's great to see Kevin Max here on additional vocals for "God's Not Dead" and "I Am Second". Maybe we'll see Toby Mac on a future release? I'm thinking anything's possible.:) As for the new Newsboys: I skipped the 1st Born Again CD, but the Miracles Edition had 20 quality tracks at a great price- an offer I couldn't refuse. It turned out to be excellent! As a longtime Newsboys fan, it's interesting to see this new direction taking flight. And it's an especially great time for Good News.
