The ministry in the Gospel of Christ is shared in these songs through Chicago Mass Choir. These are the songs that will keep your heart and mind on Jesus. They minister (serving) the gospel through their God giving gifts and talent. Difinitely, spiritual food for the soul.

I think the intent was to make an album that was high-energy and uplifting, but what we have here is just a big yell-fest. I think this is one of those things where you had to be there. The audience has been whipped up into "putting their hands together" and cheering which creates a lot of noise ... which you hear a lot of on the album ... constantly. And the band has to play loud to get over that noise. So the choir has to yell at the top of their lungs just to be heard. And the soloists have to do a lot of yelling to be heard.

Maybe because this is live, the spirit was moving the choir to keep on repeating and hammering away at whatever the catchy part of the song is because that is the way live things go sometimes. So you get a LOT of repetition -- with the soloists trying to yell ever louder and more soulfully as the repetition grinds on. Everything is done to such excess that it all becomes a headache inducing mess.
