Seamlessly merging praise & worship-themed songs with a bright alternative pop sound, and grounding things in real-life situations, Tenth Avenue North take praise & worship in a more personal and individual direction while still leaving a lot of room for spirituality and collective hope. This set was road-tested live, with the band urging audience members to sing along on the choruses, and those varied audience contributions are actually here on the record, a sort of massed fan choir for the band. The result is Tenth Avenue North's best release yet. ~ Steve Leggett
