The album for which all in the Christian ska scene have patiently awaited is finally here. With this kind of music, energy is the word, and rarely have I heard so much.
"Awesome God" is well done with a few altered lyrics, but keeps the chorus intact. Toward the end of the tune, it takes on a similarity to the classic Unashamed version. The medley of "Jesus, Name Above All Names" and "More Precious than Silver" contrasts modern ska with 50's du-wop, while maintaining a decent continuity via similar chord progressions. Metal will either love or hate "Joy," which takes some cool, messy metal guitar and puts it in context of the band's token genre. The combination is, I suppose, purposefully comical, yet tastefully done.
All songs are of course, profoundly different than your church's worship band would play, but come Sunday, you'll be wanting them to try these songs the Insyderz way. This project must have been a blast to record, and edifying at the same time.
