I have loved Leeland the first moment I heard them on "The Sound Of Melodies." I was amazed at their talent, music, and the fact that Leeland (the singer, not the band!) was still a teenager! Sound of Melodies had a very passionate, worship feel to it with good music and a wide range of vocals. "The Opposite Way" showed maturity in songwriting and musicianship, and although it may have lost some of the catchiness of the debut album, I felt like it was a step in the right direction for them...With that being said, I feel like "Love Is On The Move" has the best of both worlds. It is catchy, spiritual, and the music is stellar. Once again, they combine British-esque musicianship with soaring vocals and my favorite part about it is the imagery of the lyrics. Songs like "Carry Me On Your Back" which speak of Jesus helping us through storms, "Via Dolorosa" which speaks of Jesus trading his crown for a crown of thorns and dying and suffering on the cross, and my favorite song on the CD "Follow You" (with special guest Brandon Heath) speaks of us recognizing the love that Jesus has given to us and sharing that to the world through faith and deeds - it's a song of showing love and hope to the broken. Amazing! This album definitely did not disappoint, although if I had one criticism, it's that the bass seems non-existent. Whether that was intentional or the mixer's fault, I don't know. But other than that, a truly beautiful, passionate, and spiritual album that begs to be played again and again.

I didn't really like it all that much when I first listened to it. But after the second, third+ plus I now LOVE it. Much more mellow than the previous album but in a good way. Love Leland.

Bright, upbeat music; uplifting lyrics combine to make this collection simply brilliant! I can't listen to this one enough. Add this one to your basket without reservation!

Some albums are ok,1 song good 2 songs decent and you feel a little robbed.
This album is wonderful. Out of 12 songs you end up having 3 of those 12 ok and the rest is fantastic.

Leeland is getting better and better. Each album is better and deeper than before. Many songs bring tears to my eyes. It's my major discovery for this year!

This is the first Leeland CD I've purchased..
Awesome! every cut is good.. So happy with it!

One of the best CDs I have ever heard. Each song - awesome! You only have to listen to each song once to fall for it! :D

This album has a different vibe than the last two, but still is great work. I'm into Phil Wickham and Brandon Bee, so I was recommended Leeland. They have a great message and great songs. This album is great for anybody who enjoys great indie music.

Leeland had never been my favorite band, even though they had some awesome songs from their first album that I just love.

When I saw heard their new album for the first time, i was terribly dissapointed. I hated it because of its mellowness.
Then, I heard the song "Via Dolorosa" once again at a Easter church service, and I was obsessed with that song. I played it over and over until I finally heard the whole album again. I dare say it's their best album so far. The songs are so spiritually and lyrically deep, and feel so personal. They truly lead me to worship passionately.

My favorite is the last one, "My Jesus" which has a superb climax ending. The others are awesome as well, very catchy.
"The Door", "Learn to Love", and 'Carry Me on Your Back" are a bit more upbeat. 'Love is on the move", "Pure Bride", "weak man" and "Holy Spirit have your way" are other favorites.

Leeland is one of the best and most genuine Christian bands out there, in my opinion. This album is worth a listen-or two.

These guys are great, their music and lyrics are as good as any top secular artist backed by big labels and big money. The music connects with my heart and the lyrics connect with my soul. If you like any other albums/artists within this genre you will love this album. I also like what appears to be an orchestra that will occasionally make an appearance in the songs...gives me chills every time.
