LOVE IT
i absolutely love this CD. i haven't heard all of MercyMe's other CDs, just one other, so this is their best work that i know of. they are very inspiring and their love for the Lord comes through in their music. this CD is a blessing. "I KNOW" is probably my fave on the CD. well rounded song with a disco beat thrown in the middle of it. i can't explain it, ya just have to hear the whole thing from beginning to end to appreciate it fully! i am a big NEWSBOYS fan and was suprised at the grooviness of this CD. i bought it because i really liked "God With Us". they seemed to have really grown musically and/or have gotten in touch with who they really are as musicians, because this seems like a step out and up for them. i hope to hear more like this one!

Ok Album
Well I gave this album a good listen and it has a few songs that are really good. The best song in my opinion is "God With Us" it is awesome, however, this album does not have enough rock feel to it like the coming up to breathe album had, I miss the heavy electric guitar like in the awesome mini solo near the end of "Something About You" on the previous album I loved that and they need more of that in their songs. Also, I dont like the sound like its an orchestra at the beginning of some songs.

Overall it was a decent album, but apart from a few songs the album just seemed thrown together and it didnt seem like the group put as much effort into these songs.

One of Those Albums
When I hear a song by an artist or group and like it, I tell myself that there's a good chance I'll like more from this person or group. After hearing "God With Us" a number of times I thought I would download this album, knowing I've liked these guys before. After listening one or two times to the entire thing, it became quickly one of my favorite Christian set of songs I've ever experienced (I say this not as a seasoned music critic, just a guy who loves good songs). Literally I love every song here! I can't say that with all the albums I have, who can? From "God With Us" reminding us down here that there's One closer than the air in our lungs to "Almost Home" giving us a glimpse into the future when tears are wiped away at the site of the King and reunited with those we love to "You Reign" telling us through it all Jesus sits on His throne, these songs give life to the walk we call the human journey with others and our Companion. May they continue to be inspired and spread the incredibly Good News of Jesus, His coming and our hope.

Great Christian music!
I've just recently "found" this contemporary Christian music and it's all I listen to now. My kids love it too. Don't have to worry about questionable lyrics. This disc has a great mix of songs. Definitely recommend it!

Mercy Me New CD Pretty Good
I feel Mercy Me need to write more christian songs more contemporay christian songs with with out the rock sound to them. I think they,d be better off useing a combination of Accoustic, electric guitars, Piano,Saxphone, trumpet,& some base guitar, chimes in thwere next CD for 09. Id say wait til the next cd after this one before you buy anymore of there music.
