Editorial Reviews
From the Label
New album, new treats, same passion. While they never went away, it's still true to say that Delirious are back. Back with a new album, a new set of summer freebies but the same passionate drive that has pushed them well into their second decade as worshippers with a message that travels far and wide. Across the 12 tracks is a burly sense of urgency, a voice that turns out a bunch of reasons for getting on with the good stuff in life right now. All the usual treats are there too: the beautiful noise and the funfair melodies
what you'd expect from a band whose decade plus career has taken them all around the world.
Customer Reviews
Top class music.
I have read the reviews and bought the CD. I would say that this is Delirious at another level. I know all about the quality of some of there previous releases such as Glo and Mezzamorphosis but I would say that this tops them all on two accounts; firstly the quality of song writing has improved from an already high level and secondly Martin's voice reaches new heights on this one. Considering the averageness of some successful bands at the minute, it is a travesty that Delirious are not UK megastars but ho-hum I guess that comes with the teritory of being a Christian in today's society. I urge you to go for this one, listen and enjoy top musicianship on every account.

Not their best
This album does have a few good tracks, but I don't think that it really deserves the accolade of 'an awesome album'. I found this album largely very dissapointing. Tracks such as 'Paint the town red' screamed of a band comprising of 40+ year olds trying too hard to be youthful. They just don't quite pull it off. In fairness to it tracks like 'Our God Reigns' and 'take of my shoes' are good, but it's a shame that they seem to have lost some of that creative edge that produced albums such as 'Glo' and 'mezzamorphis', and sunk back into their more cheesy side with tracks such as 'love is a miracle'.
I can cope with 1 or 2 less good tracks, but the fact that they have filled an album with musically uninspiringly mundane tracks doesn't endear this album to me.
Just one other point, I'm happy that alot of people seem to love miracle maker, and it blesses them, but does no one else think that it sounds like a cheesy queen-gone-wrong cover, once Stu G kicks in with that ridiculous guitar solo?!
Worth it.
If Miracle Maker was the only song on this ablum, I would still fork out £9.97 for it. Solid Rock and Our God Reigns are close seconds. I was at the last tour date for this album at the Hexagon in Reading, and this album is certainly up to scratch. This has some of my favourite songs on it, but also some that leave me a little bit cold. The thing is whatever songs I may not like on the album, the ones I do like are worth it.
Every fan should have one, but it isn't as consistant as Deeper, or World Service.
