5.0 out of 5 stars Newsboys and shine have changed lives with Jesus!!!!!!!!!, July 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Going Public (Audio CD)

I have had this CD forever, but on todays date I am reminded of something that happened because of it about four years ago. One of my best friends was at a church camp and the song "shine" came on. Normally this is considered a fun-type song with a good message that we use to get wound up. But on this particular night my friend pulled my sister to the side and was like "I feel that I am on the outside looking in just like that song talks about." Praise Jesus!!!! Within five or ten minutes we were all down praying with her to accept Christ. Newsboys---if you ever read this---thanks.

This review is from: Going Public (Audio CD)

This album was the Newsboys sophmore release with a major label, although the production is a bit over the top for my taste,I personally favor "Take me to your Leader",as it sounds more like a band effort."Going Public" neverless does not disapoint,in fact some of the best songs written by Peter Furler(who by the way sings lead on most of the songs)and producer Steve Taylor are on this album."Shine","Spirit Thing","Let it Rain" and the stunning "Elle G." are some of the Newsboys finest moments.I saw the Newsboys a few years back and was surprised that they only performed one song from this great album,then again when the Beatles toured in 66' they didn't perform ANY songs from "Revolver", now considered a masterpiece.My personal favorite from this album is "Let it Rain" a touching ballad from the perspective of the apostle Peter, and how he met Christ while at sea fishing.John James, the band's "lead singer" never really sang lead on many Newsboys albums, it was later revealed that drummer and songwriter and co-producer Peter Furler sang lead on almost every song they recorded,mostly because he sounded better in the studio and James was a better frontman onstage,plus their voices sound pretty simular,but any real Newsboy fan can tell the difference.This is one of the Newsboys best albums and it would be nice if they started putting some of these songs back into their set.Great album,very minor weak spots.Enjoy!
