5.0 out of 5 stars
Glorious!, October 10, 2000
This review is from: Glo (Audio CD)
I bought this cd when it was released in the United Kingdom, so I've had months to listen and fall in love with this music. The first song really gets my toes tapping when I'm driving. I love the actual monks chanting and the awesome sound of fans singing, "We're going to the house of God; we're going to the house of God; are you coming?" It gets me into the mood to praise God. The highlight of this album for me is the track "My Glorious." I have been a D: fan since I heard them in the UK back in 1997. And I have kneeled and prayed while listening to their songs, clapped and shouted to their songs. But this track is like no other. They have a group of fans singing the chorus, and I can just imagine myself with them. And after singing the words "My glorious, my glorious" over many times, the fans just erupt in cheers, while the band plays and sings over them. It is amazing. I have actually cried for joy while listening and singing to this song...SEVERAL times! No music has ever had that effect on me. If you want to be lifted into worship AND to enjoy some great pop and harder rock sounds, buy this album. You will not be disappointed. One word of warning though: If you like softer praise music, you will like Cutting Edge much more than this album. But if you like rock that rocks, this is the best one yet!

An incredible worship experience!, October 10, 2000
This review is from: Glo (Audio CD)
When you hear the Delirious is releasing another worship cd, then you immediately know it's going to be good. All that's left to ask now is: "How good?" The answer is simple: "Incredible!" This cd is unique in that there are 4 "Glo" cuts that are spontaneous worship times when the band was finished with a song but felt led to continue playing and flowing afterward. Definitely not your usual studio album! Several great songs on here, as well as an updated "Jesus' Blood" from the "Mezzamorphis" cd. "Awaken the Dawn" is great, and the first song "God You are my God" is fabulous! No doubt you'll be hearing these songs rotate through worship services of churches everywhere before long! I know they'll be in our youth services very soon!

GLOriously Stratospheric., March 24, 2001
This review is from: Glo (Audio CD)
Now that Delirious is big-time mainstream in America (you've all seen Martin "Smiff" singing live at Wembley on the Weather Channel commercials), with sold-out concerts in Nashville and Houston, you'd expect the boys from Britain to blend into the rest of the Christian music scene and get predictable on us. WRONGO!! Glo is an amazingly unpredictable, surprising, creative-to-the-max work of art. They've got singing monks on here, for heaven's sake! (no pun intended). They've got bagpipes, choirs, string quartets, and oh yeah, screaching guitars that will send smoke through your speakers. GLO is short for Glorious, and this CD will lift you into the glorious heights of the majesty of God. As others have noted, some of the best stuff on here can be found on the spontaneous "Glo In The Dark" tracks which are extensions of the previous songs (my favorite part of the whole CD is when Martin says "Here we go, boys!" on "Glo In The Dark Part 3). "God's Romance" is a great rock-n-roll worship party song with a hint of Achtung Baby-esque production tricks. "My Glorious" is another, well, "glorious" power-worship tune, and the songs "Everything" (with a cool video; rain, wind, fire: kind of reminds you of the Holy Spirit, eh?), "Hang On To You", "Awaken The Dawn", and "The Years Go By" are magnificent. And those are just the loud songs! The quiet, introspective songs are excellent, too. "God You Are My God" is a classic. The d: boys have done it again.
