I am a self proclaimed "Music Junkie" who buys on the average 5 albums across all genres every week. I love Christian music but have been really disappointed in what has been put out lately. I had come across Bluetree earlier in the week and they sparked my interest to make a note of them but not enough to make the purchase. When I saw they were on the $5 list this week I decided to take a chance. WOW! This is the first album I has purchased in a long time that I have been compelled to listen to over and over again as well as tell others about it. The lyrics are contemplative and the music is intoxicating. It kind of reminds me of the style of Jimmy Eat World. After listening to it I immediately emailed the Music Minister at my place of worship to tell him about them. Not since the first Casting Crowns album have I been this excited about a new Christian Artist. This is definitely something to buy now!

This album feels quite fresh in a time where music can often sound over=produced and formulated. Especially worship music. If you're looking for some great God-centered music that doesn't sound typical or packaged, this is for you. Bluetree breaks that mold from the first track. Eclectic noises of "Life's noise" with some scripture (whoa, Scripture!) to lead to the first song, which is a powerful song describing how God speaks in the stillness in Isaiah.

Bluetree has a distinctly enjoyable sound. Hailing from Belfast, Northern Ireland, this worship band shows great depth and diversity from The song they are known best for, the title track made famous by Chris Tomlin, "God of this City", to the more upbeat "God's Plan", to the quite reflective and powerful "When I Survey".

For full price, this album is definitely worth it, and it's a steal for Five bucks!

When Delirious announced that they were finished making music I was so sad. They were the most different band I had ever heard that praised and worshiped God unlike anyone before. Then I heard God of this City from this group on Klove on 27 MAR 09, this song blew me away. I had heard God of this City by Chris Tomlin and love it. I think that I love this version better. That is very hard to top. Back to my thoughts about Delirious. Well Delirious was the most different worship group I had ever heard. Now comes this new group Bluetree from nowhere and I am blown away. I think of them as Delirious part 2. They are the new generation of this worship that is hardcore but absolutely God honoring that you just fall in front of God and say Wow. You are so amazing and I just want to worship you all day and night long. This new group is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I would give this album a 200 stars if I could. Please get it and experience God in the most intimate and Wonderful Way. Thank you Bluetree. You are my new Favorite Group. I can't wait for the next album!!!!

I go to this site about twice a week, well actually more, but 2 is enough... I came across this band, listened to some of the music, and read the lyrics, and bought the MP3 download of the album. I cannot tell you how incrediblly awesome this album is. I also got the instrumental version, and my children LOVE it. We play games like OK, what song is this, and I just run the instrumental. Then when it is quiet, and it is just the Lord and I, it is great music, to just bring your heart closer to Christ!

SURPRISES... DYNAMICS...SUPERB ARRANGEMENTS...TRULY INSPIRED LYRIC~WORSHIP/ THESE GUYS PULL HEAD'N'SHOULDERS ABOVE MOST OF THEIR CONTEMPORARIES~ DO YOURSELF A SPIRIT FAVOR & INCREASE YOUR SPIRIT FERVOUR... LISTEN TO GREATER THINGS~ L CHANGES

I am a fan of Delirious, and found through the previous comments that Bluetree is similiar, and I couldn't agree more. Great for those intimate times when it is just God and you. I would recommend this CD highly!

Blue Tree's "God of the City" is an excellent worship album. The lyrics are deep and inspiring. Blue Tree's sound is soothing without being boring. I would recommend any of their songs for worship services, youth groups, or personal prayer time. I'm listening to the cd right now, and you should be too.

I don't usually listen to Christian radio so did not know that this group had a hit song there. I bought it because it was an Irish group. However, except for the speaking part on the first cut, there is little distinctively Irish about the cd. Nevertheless, I love it. "Life's Noise" is powerful and the traditional "When I Survey" is a wonderful version. By the way "God of This City" was the popular hit on Christian radio. I could only give it 4 stars because there were no written lyrics in the liner notes. My all time pet peeve!
