Even better than I expected!
I purchased and LOVED Phil Wickham's CD "Cannons" and it is one of my favorite CD's. I love his style, his voice, his passionate lyrics. He personifies great praise music and does it with a U2-Keene feel. With that said, I was a little hesitant to buy this CD...I figured I would be a little disappointed with his debut album after loving his sophomore album so much. In my mind, I figured it just can't be a good. But I was wrong. It is just as good.

I was hooked right away with the opening song "Grace." This is a powerful song and Phil's vibrato is perfection. This song is just as strong as any on "Cannons." But it doesn't end there. I loved "Messiah," "Mystery," especially "Divine Romance," and "I Will Wait For You There," which is a powerful acoustic song (with some strings). And "Holy, Holy, Holy" is also quite powerful.

This CD has a little less British rock feel as "Cannons," where that influence is more prevalent, but you can still hear it in his voice. He has an amazing gift and he is a major talent in a watered-down Praise and Worship industry. His lyrics, though simple at times, are still poetic and truly reflect a passion and desire to follow and praise God. We need more like him. If you don't have this CD or "Cannons," get immediately!

Phil Wickham
This CD is good. Lots of good songs. Some of the songs aren't my style, but most everyone I know who has it loves it. It's pretty good.

CD
This is an amazing cd and is pretty hard to find at stores. I'm so glad that I could find it AND for such a great price! Seller was very easy to work with as well, which made the buying process so pleasant!

Like this a lot!
Okay, so I first heard of Phil Wickham when I went to a David Crowder concert. He is an amazing vocalist. He played on only his acoustic guitar and sang- no band. He was simply amazing. His heart to worship is awesome and I really felt that at the worship concert. I love the lyrics to his songs because of how he worships the Lord. Yes- something that is creative, sounds like a person that knows music and loves the Lord! I actually like this CD better than the Cannons although there are songs on Cannons I like, some of the background music I think is too much. I prefer him and his guitar, some drums . . . I think less is more really does him well. Although on this album I think he has a similar sound to Coldplay on some songs. This album is great!!!!!!!!!!

WOW! Amazing, amazing CD!
I can't say enough good things about this CD! I originally bought it because I loved the song Divine Romance. I was totally expecting it to be like every other CD I've ever bought, a couple great songs, a couple good songs, and the rest you can take or leave. I put it on in the background while I was working and I kept looking up after every song saying "wow"! It was like, song 1 "wow", song 2 "wow", song 3 "wow", until eventually I finshed the whole thing and I was just really blown away. I think the lyrics are very moving and the sound is great. I know some other people have said this, but some of the songs do have a Coldplay feel to them, but then some of them are completely different. I love the fact that he writes and plays all the songs, no canned pop music here. My favorite, although it's hard to choose one, is track 3 "Mystery", it's got some serious sound and depth to it, I love it. I just bought Cannons, his new CD, and I have to say, he's really got a unique sound and heart for God which together make for an amazing musical experience. I highly recommend both CD's.
