I just cannot stop listening to this album. It's really really really good. How's that for a review?Honestly though, I've been listening to this one for the last few months and it continues to grow on me. Despite having one of my least favorite band names, Needtobreathe create music I find myself singing over and over throughout the day. They write straight-forward songs without gimmicks...just really good music. I enjoyed their first album as well, but The Heat escapes any hint of a "sophomore slump" and offers up some fantastic songs.
I really enjoy the voice of lead singer Bear Rinehart. Sometimes when singers have a distinct voice it starts to grind on your nerves as an album goes on, but not Rinehart's. It grows on you and he does an excellent job of using dynamics to keep songs from sounding the same.
The best songs on the album in my opinion are "We Could Run Away" and "Signature of Divine". Both have an incredible anthem feel and deserve to be played loudly. The acoustic driven "More Time" will get in your head and stay there. Great song!
Listen to this album
this is good stuff.
ReplyDeleteHeard the song "More Time" in church yesterday, and reminded me I needed to check this out. Definitely good stuff!!!! I think this is "The Heat" album though... isn't it?
ReplyDeleteCan't stop listening to this right now. According to the mp3 player, listened to the album 6 times in the last 24 hours...
ReplyDeleteI have to finally join the band wagon on this one. I love both Daylight and The Heat...good call guys.
