This 'Best Of' album from the Nashville-based rock worship band comprises mainly of songs written by ex-lead vocalist Chuck Dennie with a Tim Hughes and Delirious? cover thrown in for good measure. The album has a very mellow but full feel about it, produced in such a way that every vocal, harmony and individual instrument can be heard in perfect balance with each other. For me their cover of "Beautiful One" stands out. The band have taken the popular worship song and, by adding extra harmonies alongside a clear solid drum beat and a variety of dynamics, given the song a crisp new feeling. The band's own worship songs also have a very full yet mellow feel about them with songs such as "Reveal" and "I Need You" standing out. My one criticism of the band is that they are hardly original, with plenty of bands just like them on the Christian music scene.
