Come Together

Third Day

Edit

Third Day has been one of my favorite groups ever since their first album. In all of their songs the tracks that have affected me most have been songs like Thief, Just To Be With You, Your Love Endures Forever, King of Glory, and Agnus Dei. There are many more songs that I like but those listed above seem to have the deepest hold on me because of the meaning in the songs and because the songs aren't so heavy into rock and roll that some of the clarity is lost. Some of Third Day's other songs sound great but are tough to understand and I find that the easiest songs of theirs to understand fall under a praise and worship style of presentation. That's why I think Come Together is their best work to date. They mix outstanding clear lyrics with some amazing musical compilations to make a great sounding album with some amazing lyrics. There's not a single song I don't like on this album and I praise the Lord for what He's done with Mac Powell and the band. These men love Jesus and it shows in their music.

I have to say, I never know what to expect from Third Day... This cd is in the same vein as others, maybe too much so. I feel strange writing a less than stellar review after seeing all the hoopla surrounding this release, but after digesting this cd, I keep feeling like I've heard this music before... I don't think anything was intentionally ripped off, but if you're looking for something totally new, totally fresh, and totally surprising... Well, just make sure to listen to the samples first, ok? I give it a 3 out of 5. Solid, but not bullet proof.
