Terrible album.
Lets hear more from the girls in future, these guys cant sing at all. Who is this guy who sounds like Noel Gallagher of Oasis?
I'll be giving my copy away.
Yours very disappointed.

This is a fantastic album. All over the world churches, movements and events are releasing live collections on an annual basis. From Hillsong, to Passion, to Soul Survivor. But Newfrontiers have been going strong perhaps the longest, since the start of the Stoneleigh Bible Week in 1991. After a few years of releasing decent albums, here is an oustanding live collection that is a must. The collection of songs is diverse and exciting, from the lifting Let God Arise that swoops through its proclaiming lyrics, accompanied by interesting computerised sounds to give a new dimension to the track, to the soaring Saviour King. Simon Brading fairs immense for such a young worship leader, being able to cover many genres on this album and doing it with such humility and skill. Lou Fellingham is another highlight, with her pouding Promised Land and its echoing intricate verses. She soars on From The Rising Of The Sun, with a beautiful chorus written by her husband Nathan, and together she and Simon sing their hearts out on Salvation's Song, a Townend penned track that is destined to become another classic among the older generation, but tastefully put together on this album to be exciting and modern enough for the younger in our congregations. The musical quality is amazing too, the guys in Phatfish display vast skill aswell as Simon Brading's band, with Joe Tuson's guitar being very memorable. His licks and solos throughout the album are a highlight, from the burning opening to "Our God He Reigns" to the pounding "Salvation" which finishes off the album. The softer songs such as "God Of Our Yesterdays" and "Mercy From The Throne" are great too, highlighting that loud noise isn't always best. All in all, a winner with bags of atmosphere.

@Chris
I think you'll find Lou Fellingham leads four tracks on this album, and on last years 2007 release Amazing God, Lou Fellingham led 1 and Kate Simmonds led 5, which is more than Simon Brading.
So enjoy the spirit filled worship, which is what worship albums are about :)
