Album Of The Day: Let It Echo by Jesus Culture

clay red, aqua blue, a blue-green, and not colored. There's also a mountain colored yellow behind them. In the middle of them, a bit off-center, is a gray circle with some scribbling on it, maybe. Radiating from the center is a series of circles, like a wave, with a white line alternating with a grey/black thick line of noise. Cutting through all these circles is the background from the left to the center where it says the group's name and then the album name.

Released 10 years ago this past Thursday, this is the 9th album from the church worship collective called Jesus Culture and the first album by that artist name released on Sparrow Records. Like many other church groups before and since, they bring Coldplay-style arena pop/rock to a church setting. The music features pounding drums and bass lines, layers of keyboards and guitars, and lots of spontaneous playing and singing by the band on long, repetitive songs. This was recorded live at Jesus Culture Church, so the audience can be heard singing along with the large worship band on occasion. None of these are songs that ended up being popular at America's churches, as far as I'm aware, but the songs are still pretty good praise and worship. My favorites are the title track, "Miracles" and "Everything And Nothing Less". The songs may not be as deep and rich as the hymns of old, in my opinion, but it's still decent music trying to connect the modern Christian with God in prayerful music.
