5.0 out of 5 stars Obsession, December 14, 2000

By

This review is from: Cutting Edge (Audio CD)

This cd is truely an increible cd. The band comes presenting worship in a contemporary fashion. If you like the secular band U2, you'll love this cd. The very last track, obsession, is the best song on the album. Whenever I hear the song, I think of the story of Jim Elliot. This song could easily be the testimony of Jim Elliot, who was martyred by Auca Indians during the 1950's. If you know Jim Elliot, and love his story, listen to the words of the song and you will know what I am talking about. My words can't tell this well enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent praise and worship from an excellent band!!, October 10, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cutting Edge (Audio CD)

Delirious? is a fantastic band! And this set shows what God can do with a band of such talent. The songs included in this package pre-date the songs on "King of Fools" and they are fantastic. Delirious? showcase their praise and worship roots on these discs.

CD 1 contains earlier songs from the band and some you may have heard during the worship time at your own church. The best songs are "I Could Sing of Your Love Forever", "Shout to the North", "Message of the Cross", and "Thank You for Saving Me". All of the songs on this CD are open and honest praise to God, but I especially like these.

CD 2 shows Delirious? making a transition to a more complex song-writing style (similar to "King of Fools"). This CD contains the set's best song "Did You Feel the Mountains Tremble?". This song is an anthem of praise to God. It's absolutely fabulous. Other great songs include "I'm Not Ashamed", "I've Found Jesus", and "Obsession".

If you're a fan of Delirious?, this is a must have. If you love praise and worship music, this is a must have. If you love great music, well, you get the idea - you will not be disappointed. God really has a way of blessing your work if glorify Him in all that you do - and these songs do that with a passion!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Sonic Tidal Wave, May 1, 2001

This is one of the best collections of worship music from one of the world's best worship bands! The songs are from all the mini-albums that Deliriou5? released when they were still a minor English band called "Cutting Edge" (name changed 1-1-96), plus a few songs after that. Their style (especially on albums after this one) is very similar to U2: lots of guitar and real music in the background. The CD jacket includes all the lyrics and the story of the band's formation and growth. As for the songs... there's not enough good that can be said about them! From peppy songs like "Shout to the North" and "I've Found Jesus" to the deeply heartfelt "You Split The Earth" and "Obsession," I could listen to this collection for hours. And of course, it includes what the jacket calls "THE song of that summer [1996]...a sonic tidal wave, a spiritual battering ram...'Did You Feel The Mountains Tremble?' ", which is without doubt the best song on the CD and one of my absolute favorite worship songs. In short, buy this CD!
