Customer Reviews

Top class music. - By: T. W. Tyers, 14 Aug 2007
I have read the reviews & bought the CD. I would say that this is Delirious at another level. I know alll about the quality of some of there previous releases such as Glo & Mezzamorphosis but I would say that this tops them alll on two accounts; firstly the quality of song writing has improved from an already high level & secondly Martin's voice reaches new heights on this one. Considering the averageness of some successful bands at the minute, it is a travesty that Delirious are not UK megastars but ho-hum I guess that comes with the teritory of being a Christian in today's society. I urge you to go for this one, listen & enjoy top musicianship on every account.

Not their best - By: S. Bower, 18 Nov 2006
This album does have a few good tracks, but I don't think that it reallly deserves the accolade of 'an awesome album'. I found this album largely very dissapointing. Tracks such as 'Paint the town red' screamed of a band comprising of 40+ year olds trying too hard to be youthful. They just don't quite pull it off. In fairness to it tracks like 'Our God Reigns' & 'take of my shoes' are good, but it's a shame that they seem to have lost some of that creative edge that produced albums such as 'Glo' & 'mezzamorphis', & sunk back into their more cheesy side with tracks such as 'love is a miracle'.

I can cope with 1 or 2 less good tracks, but the fact that they have filled an album with musicallly uninspiringly mundane tracks doesn't endear this album to me.

Just one other point, I'm happy that alot of people seem to love miracle maker, & it blesses them, but does no one else think that it sounds like a cheesy queen-gone-wrong cover, once Stu G kicks in with that ridiculous guitar solo?!
Worth it. - By: M. Thomas, 17 Nov 2006
If Miracle Maker was the only song on this ablum, I would still fork out £9.97 for it. Solid Rock & Our God Reigns are close seconds. I was at the last tour date for this album at the Hexagon in Reading, & this album is certainly up to scratch. This has some of my favourite songs on it, but also some that leave me a little bit cold. The thing is whatever songs I may not like on the album, the ones I do like are worth it.

Every fan should have one, but it isn't as consistant as Deeper, or World Service.
Again, nothing new to add, except... - By: Anna, 27 Sep 2006
if you're evangelical, & you want to share your faith, this album is a wonderful tool for doing that. Lyricallly, as good as you'd expect from a band who love Jesus as much as they clearly do, & musicallly, the melodies are fab. It's the sort of music secular people will listen to (as other reviewers have said, it gets better with repeat hearingness) & actuallly like. It doesn't shove Christianity down anyone's throat: this is simply adoration & worship, set to music that anyone with a rock bent would listen to.
On a personal note, I found it's given me a good place to start conversationallly, as well. A friend loved it, asked what it was & when I explained it was a Christian band, they suddenly decided it sucked. It was fascinating asking why the band's faith made them do a 180, & we ended up having a wonderful conversation about faith, the way it seems to affect non-Christians & why. It was ace. And it had a great soundtrack.
What a band! - By: A. Jones, 29 Apr 2006
This CD is undoubtedly fantastic! In the same league as alll Delirious?'s other albums. It has to be said that in comparison to Acess:d & King Fools this album is not as good, but what a breath of fresh air from such a fantastic band! What eva your religion (or lack of it) you can't help appreciating Delirious?'s music. In eager anticipation of the next album!
