4.0 out of 5 stars A quantum leap from their first, April 11, 2002

This review is from: Come & Join Us (Audio CD)

Contrary to the last review of this CD, my personal opinion is that this album ushered in what was to be Petra's best years.

The title track, with the dual guitar riffs, was groundbreaking for its time. Christian rock music didn't sound this good. To appreciate this album's sound, you need to have been a Christian teen at the time of its release in 1977 and know what pitiful music we had to listen to from the Christain side of the house. With this album, Petra gave us Christains something to be proud of. It had the message AND it had a sound and production value that you didn't feal ashamed to put it on for friends.

This album is for the hardcore fan of today who wants to have all of Petra's music. And it is for oldtimers like me to be able to listen again to the music that helped to lay the foundation for which every single Christain rock band travels today.

I challenge anyone to find another Christian rock album put out in 1977 that even comes close to this album. I have no doubt you won't.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Hits before they had hits on the radio!!!!!!!!!!!!!, October 3, 1999

If you are a fan of the Greg X. Volz Petra, then you'll enjoy this album. It isn't very popular at all, but it includes a different version of "God Gave Rock and Rolll" and is alot like the Eagles. Great album!!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars This is some of their best work!, October 20, 2004

"Come and Join Us" may not be as polished as some of Petra's later work, but it's infinitely better than the stuff they cranked out after Greg X. Volz left the band (no offense to his replacement). "God Gave Rock 'n Roll to You" is, without a doubt, the best song on the album. It's a classic that ranks right up there with many of the legendary, secular songs of the 70's. As another reviewer mentioned, this album was particularly amazing when you considered the kind of "Christian Music" that had been put out up until that time. The late 70's was the the birth of true Christian rock (Larry Norman, Randy Stonehill, Keith Green and others were either exloding on to the scene or hitting their prime). This is a must-have for any die-hard Petra fan, and a great suggestion for anyone who loves classic rock.
