Album Of The Day: Going Public by Newsboys

Album Art of Newsboys's Going Public album - A black and white photo of thousands of people standing inside a very large tent the size of a gymnasium or larger. They are facing the camera and looking a bit off to the right of the camera. There seems to be lights set up in the ceiling of the tent to light up the scene and there are a bunch of support poles that break up the sea of people a bit. From the dress of the people, the photo may be from earlier in the 20th century, though it seems to have electric lights so it's not too old. At the top, the band name is printed in large, thin white print, with the album title in much smaller letters below the band name.

Released 31 years ago today, this is the fifth studio album by Australian pop/rock band Newsboys. This album brings Christian messages with a modern rock edge for the time, and it was a huge hit for this band. "Shine" is one of the most well-known songs from the 1990s among Christian Music fans and every youth group. The band wrote very catchy pop/rock songs in this era, and with the help of producer/writer Steve Taylor, the lyrics are unique and have the occasional witty phrasing included. I only got a copy of this album about 7 years ago, so this was not one I grew up listening to, but it's a good album that still is is fun to listen to over 30 years later.
