5.0 out of 5 stars
A great start to a great career,
By Mark Baker (Santa Clarita, CA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Project (Audio CD)
This is Michael W. Smith's first album in what has become a huge career. And he starts off with a bang. Of his albums released in the 80's, this one holds up the best but is still a little dated. Two of his all time classics show up on it, FRIENDS and GREAT IS THE LORD. The other songs are so good that I really can't find a favorite to highlight. He even includes three instrumental songs, with a fourth as an extended introduction.If you consider yourself a Michael W. Smith fan, you need to buy this album and see where it all started. And you'll get some great music along the way.

The Best,
This review is from: Project (Audio CD)
I love this album because it takes me to my most earliest childhood, me being born in 1983 and this first album of his coming out the same year. There are some real classics in this album including Friends and You Really Need A Saviour(my personal favorite). A strong recommendation if you are interested in the music of Michael W. Smith.

A solid start to a great career...,

This review is from: Project (Audio CD)
Michael W. Smith is one of my favorite artists, which somehow allows me to be more critical than I would of artists with whom I am less familiar. When stacked against the entirety of his many albums, this one is good but not great. The overwhelmingly articial sound of the synthesizer provides such a dated sound of the '80s, and not in a good way. And several of the songs, particularly "Friends," are overdone and ultimately rather cheesy.Nonetheless, it is neat to experience the beginning of Smith as he begins to establish his niche. And you can see the songwriting chops that later produced some of the greatest works to come out of the contemporary Christian genre. "Could He Be the Messiah?" and "Be Strong and Courageous" are both full of energy and lots of fun. Near the end, it is fun to sing along to "Great is the Lord," a favorite praise chorus across the world for over 20 years. Though I would recommend some of his later work (especially "i 2(EYE)" and "I'll Lead You Home") more highly, this is an album worth hearing.
