This CD has been in pretty constant rotation in my player since I got it six weeks ago. The signature Hillsong sound is there, but with a distinctly British vibe. You can hear the influence of bands like Pink Floyd, Coldplay, and The Beatles throughout.

What I love is the enthusiasm and genuine sense of worship among these young musicians. And the musicianship is first rate.

The first half of the record is very upbeat, with each song flowing into the next beautifully, just like it would at the live worship service where it was recorded. Then, the real gems emerge in the less bouyant, more worshipful second half (which features a lovely performance by Matt Redman on "Greatest Gift").

There is also a fantastic DVD included with the CD. It's worth viewing for the visuals and light show alone! The Hillsong London team obviously includes some very talented and creative people who are using their gifts to advance the Kingdom.

Best songs: Lord of All...Follow the Son...Greatest Gift...Above All...Jesus Is.

I love this CD and listen to it daily. This is passionate praise and worship for this generation.

My hubby and I tend to be music snobs. If the quality of the music or vocals is lousy or dated, we don't like it. We keep wondering why so much of today's Christian music still sounds like 80's pop! If you're looking for something fresh, enjoyable and honoring to Jesus, you've found your album. I really can't recommend it enough!

This is actually my favorite Hillsong Church album and I still couldn't get over it. I keep listening to this album for the past couple of years already. Not to mention that I have hundreds of other Praise and Worship albums in my iPod, but this particular album takes the cake for me.
