Third Day

Edit

I mainly brought this CD after listening to the radio version of 'I Believe' and 'You Are Mine', which are two of the melodious and glorious songs I have heard from this genre. It is a CD where the lyrics outshine the sound of the music. And the lead vocalist attests to this, brings a clarity to the music and the messages. The themes that run through this album is the faith in God and being proud of calling ones' self Christian and saying proudly "I Believe in God" as the lyrics say in the song "I Believe".

I have since listening to 'Wire' purchased the whole range of Third Day's albums. The music is uplifting and at the same time makes the listener think and if they wish sing along to the songs. My belief in God is stronger listening to Third Day and I thank the band for that.

The song 'You Are Mine', is simply enchanting and I shed several tears listening to the beautiful lyrics sung at a exceptional emotional level.

Any fan of Across The Sky will love Third Day.

I have always felt pretty neutral about Third Day. I don't love them and I don't hate them. To me, they're just alright. Their songs always have a great message and they are awesome about serving Jesus. I know that a lot of people love them and they are great witnesses. However, I feel like their songs aren't catchy enough. They do not make me want to sing along and share that experience of worship. So I just kind of sit back and get bored.

Mac Powell has those booming, Southern rock vocals that many love. However, often times I can't understand what he is singing (and I am someone who was able to understand what Kurt Cobain was singing!). I think that Bart Millard (MercyMe) and Jeremy Camp have much better booming vocals because of their ability to enunciate and write songs that are impossible to get out of your head.

But I think one thing is certain. If you are a Third Day fan, you will most certainly like this album as well. If you are a neutral fan like me, then this CD won't change your mind. And if you are a new fan, then listen to some sample tracks and make up your mind. That's the best advice I can offer to someone who is thinking about getting this CD.

I did enjoy Third Day's album: Offerings II: All I Have To Give. A lot of good songs on that album with better enunciation.
