I really like this album - especially both parts of "In the Beginning".

However, there is some stuff in the middle of the album which throws it off for me a bit. First off there is the "Tribute to love" which is not a song, but the prayer of an older man sharing his love for his recently departed wife. Very touching, but not something I would listen to more than once - it is actually a bit distracting during a soaking/ministry time (I end up standing up and changing the song).

Also, there is a bit of Jason interacting with the crowd (which is cool) and some funner songs - "Where the Wild Things Are", "Yes, Yes, Yes", which are upbeat songs, that are not quite in the vein of prophetic worship that I equate Jason's music with. The album does not flow quite like Remember, or Open Up the Earth.

SO... in a nutshell: Good album and there is a lot of wonderful deep worship. However, if you are going to play this album during a quiet time, ministry time, etc... you might consider making a playlist to skip the middle of the album and/or play the songs you want.

Jason Upton is a truly gifted man full of God's word. Do yourself a huge favor and download his music. You will be amazed. If you like traditional Christian music - this is not for you. This CD is live so just close your eyes and let yourself imagine you are there. If you don't like live CDs and you want to introduce yourself to Jason's music, I would suggest Beautiful People and/or Open up the Earth - two of my favorite CDs of his.

First off, this is a live album, and as such, it is not as seamless to listen to as other Upton albums. There are natural limitations to the recording quality in a live environment that can't be completely fixed later. While I personally prefer studio production values, this is still a beautiful, engaging album, one that is filled with the Father's hope.

Upton is a songwriter with a strong prophetic gifting. He sings and speaks from the Father's heart. His songs are encouraging, convicting, filled with love, and most importantly, direct the listener to see and know God's desire for relationship.

This is not a 'pop' Christian album. It is intended to be listened to with care and attention, not as background music. Set aside twenty or thirty minutes when you can listen to 3-4 tracks in a row and really let it sink in. You may be amazed at how much is communicated, not just from Upton, but from the Lord as well.

If you are a Jason Upton fan, this CD is absolutely wonderful. some of these songs are powerful, very moving and Spirit filled. I love to listen to it when I meditate on the Word of God. Excellent, Excellent!!

I am swept into this recording every time I put it on. What a blessing. May the Lord bless us more through Jason Upton.
