Product Description: 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

Customer Reviews
The best DC*B album yet
The songs of this project point to God as the Remedy this world desperately needs. The lyrics are honest and heartfelt petitions to the Creator in the face of hardship.
DC*B experienced tragedy in the death of their pastor and this recording is a testament to the healing power of the cross. Many of the tracks give a voice to feelings of sadness and frustration while simultaneosly reaffirming faith in the sovereign power of God. Only an artist with the heart of David could accomplish this. David Crowder is a modern day psalmist who brings his offering before the Lord just as David did in the book of Psalms. The result is a CD filled with songs that inspire worship.
As a worship leader I had the opportunity to use many of these songs in congregational worship. Aside from the corporate worship opportunities, I appreciate what this album has done in my private devotion times as well. I continue to learn what it means to trust Jesus, this CD has helped me more than I can express.
David Crowder represents the best in the modern worship movement. And this project is his best yet.

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.
