Inspiring CD
This is my first David Crowder CD. I've been purchasing Christian Contemporary music for the past decade, but somehow had looked over the David Crowder CDs. This music has such depth of feeling in every word that is sung. Listening to this music is like taking a spiritual journey. You hear it, you feel it, and you can envision Christ in your life. I've just ordered two other CDs from Amazon because I was so impressed. Although, I have room for six CDs in my car, I find myself going back to this CD over and over again. Great CD!

Amazing Followup to "A Collision"
This is a great CD!
Behind the great music on this CD is an inspiring message.

I have to say I loved "A Collsion", yet DC*B seems to top themselves with another amazing CD. From the message of hope in "Glory of it all" to "Surely we can Change" & "Remedy" the message is clear on the impact we can make by helping to bring hope!

Yet DC*B artistically relays this simple message in a compelling way... A way that ultimately "I cannot hold it in..."

Very Disappointing
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...

Pretty good, I guess.
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.

A wagon worth jumping on...
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.
