The 11th studio album from the Southern rock veterans. When Third Day’s newest project kicks off with vocalist Mac Powell declaring “I’m the son of a good man/I’m the child of an angel,” you don’t get the sense the statement is necessarily autobiographical. It’s personal yet universal; a reflection of man’s never-ending search for his identity. |

Reviewed by Graeme Crawford The staccato riff that opens Third Day's 11th studio album will feel very familiar to fans, as will the rhythm of Mac Powell's husky vocal lines. The Atlanta veterans return after the departure of guitarist Brad Avery with a collection of distinctly recognisable tunes infused with a crisp edginess, especially on the rockier numbers. "Slow Down", "Run To You" and lead single "Call My Name" all have the feel of future staples in their live set. Powell sounds even more passionate than usual in his delivery and has effective collaborations with American Idol finalist Chris Daughtry and Flyleaf's Lacey Mosely. Sonically the musicianship is typically impressive, with Tai Anderson's bass lines having a more prominent level in the mix being of particular benefit to the texture of the sound, with only the pop feel of "Born Again" disappointing. The lyrics are designed to challenge your faith and give reassurance about God's love for us. Thought-provoking and inspiring in equal measure, the newly slimmed down band deliver a quality record that all Third Day fans will enjoy, and should be investigated by anyone with even a passing interest in rock music. Drummer David Carr suggests that "This is a new statement of who Third Day is." Discover just how powerful this new statement is for yourself. More from Third DaySee all...
