Even Greater

With reference to one of my previous post "Hope of All Hearts", I've finally got my hands on Planetshaker's latest album "Even Greater"!


If i were to describe the album in one words... it'll be WOW!

An absolutely fantastic album!

The intro itself is awesome enough to keep your ears glued to the speaker/headphone.

For those who don't know who Planetshakers are, they are certainly one of the coolest christian rock band! Go check out their official web here for more info.

Below are the album's track list.

  1. "Intro"
  2. "This Love"
  3. "Now I'm Free"
  4. "Everyone"
  5. "Lord Of All"
  6. "Interlude"
  7. "Even Greater"
  8. "God Is Able"
  9. "Worship"
  10. "God Is Love"
  11. "Hope Of All Hearts"
  12. "I Believe It"
  13. "There's Freedom"
  14. "Devoted To You"
  15. "With All My Heart"

The first 3 songs (after the short intro) are high praises. Trust me... u'll be jumping around with ur hands lifted up in your own room looking like a crazy fella. But hey... dun close that door! There's nothing to be ashamed of! We should be "undignified" for God! Jump, dance, sing, and shout it out for Jesus unreservedly!

The next song, "Lord of All" has less pump to it... in a way, it's preparing our hearts for an intimate worship coming next after it. Track 6 "Interlude" did a great job in transitioning the listener's heart for the next 2 intimate worship songs.

If you were to skip tracks... "Even Greater" & "God Is Able" is NOT to be missed! The style of this 2 songs are more towards modern contemporary worship with a tad of rock-ish element.

Then comes a short sharing session by Sam Evans... one of the pastors of Planetshaker church... The sharing session is backed by a song with a powerful statement that "God is Love".

Yes! Our God is bigger, our God is stronger, our God is love, our God is ABLE!

AMEN!

The next song is the one that i loved the most in this album, "Hope of All Hearts". The first time i heard this song, tears just rolled down my cheeks... it touched me so much... The lyrics is just so meaningful! I remember posting this song a couple of days back, and i had been listening to it over and over since and yet, it still touches my heart so ever strongly. God you really are "Hope of all hearts! It is You and Your love never fails."

After that, the momentum picks up again with "I Believe" and "There's Freedom". Similiar to the first few tracks of the album, it's fast pace and heart pumping high praise songs.

The album ends with 2 contemporary worship songs, "Devoted to You" and "With All My Heart".

It's definitely worth having and adding this album into your collection of christian music.

Go! Get not 1 but 2... and bless another person with that CD right now!
