Reviewed by Mike Rimmer After the sonically darker, more arty and ultimately less successful 'Audio Lessonover', Delirious? return with something more akin to classic Delirious?. A cleaner, straighter, less intense sound mixes in some of the worshipful elements of 'Glo' without it ending up as a "worship album". Certainly these are vertical songs and there are some rip roaring soaring songs like "Rain Down" with its plea for God to pour out his Spirit and the incredible driving "God In Heaven". There can't be many people who haven't heard the excellent "Majesty" after they gave thousands of copies away over the summer. "Everyone Knows" and "Inside/Outside" have a poppier sound and the latter has some cool vocals from Stu G. "Free" is typical of this new set in that it has an instantly memorable singalong chorus. Gorgeous string arrangements pop up here and there adding much beauty to the proceedings especially on "Everyone Knows" and "Mountains High". Another highlight is the broken ballad "I Was Blind" which finds Martin at his pleading best and then there's the introspective but reassuring "Every Little Thing" to close everything off. A definite return to form and an album that gets better every time you play it. Hopefully this will be enough to re-create the band's earlier momentum. More from Delirious?See all...

This is one of the only albums I have ever enjoyed the whole way through. Rain down is a song that builds up and exites you leaving you more hungry and exited about God. Majesty is a fantastic worship song which makes you want you want to sing along as loud as you can. The last song on this album is every little thing which just lifts you up and brings you to tears when you sing along with the moving lyrics.
