"Love Revolution" for me is by far Newsong's best album...and for me I could listen to it a 100 times and love it just as much. Russ Lee's lead vocals shine on this record...Newsong has always had the ability to combine strong, powerful lyrics with rich harmonies and an upbeat sound.

Russ Lee left the group a couple years after this CD released...and in my opinion all of their CDs after "Love Revolution" were mediocre compared to this CD and their early work.HOWEVER, Russ Lee has returned on their latest CD, "Give Yourself Away" and for the first time in a decade, Newsong once again sounds the way I remember them.

Newsong had a pretty strong run on the Christian charts throughout the 90's. Unfortunately, they have yet to be able to regain the popularity they had then--most people who know them now only know them for their song The Christmas Shoes...but I do think bringing Russ Lee back on vocals is a very wise step to putting them back on the charts--and considering the fact that the band has survived over two decades--I think they deserve more credit than they have received.

This was one of the few CDs in my collection that I didn't buy. I was given this CD by a guy who had bought it but decided he thought it was too much like a boy-band for his taste. At first I thought he just wanted me to listen to it, but when I told him I loved it, he said "Keep it."

I have to say that my favorite song is Rhythm of the World.

This CD often perked me up when I was feeling a little blue.

I originally bought this cd several years ago at ICTHUS, immediately after hearing Newsong perform. It was great listening to a band that wasn't afraid to use a wide variety of instruments from djembes and rainsticks to bagpipes, accordians and harmonicas. That's the reason I bought this cd. My free favorite songs on the album are:

"Love Revolution"

"Miracles"

"Rhythm of the World"

With that said, I must admit that the album as a whole has staled. I still enjoy listening to my three favorite songs on the album, but the rest of the album sounds like mediocre beats copied from popular music. I haven't listened to any Newsong albums since, but I hope that the band continues in the vein of "Miracles", "Love Revolution", and "Rhythm of the World", pushing musical boundaries as artists, rather than just copying the drab found in popular music and changing a few lyrics so Jesus is mentioned.

Awesome cd. Upbeat soulful vocal cd. Love Miracles, Love Revolution, Rythmn of the World, More Fun that Sin, and Love Gets in the Way. I might as well say that I love the whole cd. I own every newsong cd with Russ Lee as lead vocalist and I have never been disappointed. Incredibly talented group of vocalists and songwriters. You won't regret buying this cd or any other newsong cd.

What a wonderful, uplifting collections of songs. My favorite is "Miracles"....I believe in miracles, I'm a miracle myself! Every song on this CD is an opportunity to praise God. I've never been disappointed with a Newsong CD!

Truly one of the best CDs I own! Every track is excellent
