A MASTERPIECE, January 7, 2006
This review is from: Psalms (Audio CD)
INTRO: For a long time I was turned off my popular Christian music. Even though I'm 25, I tend to lean toward the old, traditional hymns rather than the new, contemporary style. I've always thought the old hymns had more "substance" than the "you, you, you" of contemporary worship. I'm talking about the vaguely worded songs with the artist's beautiful face taking up the entire cover--the type of songs that you could play on public radio and not know who the artist is singing about.
REVIEW: I told a friend the way I felt about Christian music and she recommended to me Shane & Shane's "Psalms". One year later, it has to be one of my Top 20 albums of all time (all genres of music). First of all, "Psalms" is a collection of songs inspired by various books of the Bible, especially the Book of Psalms, so the lyrics are rich and artistic. Shane & Shane pretty much took a couple of guitars and picked out some verses that express the original writer's message. Shane & Shane sing like they are genuinely pouring out their souls before the LORD. As musicians, their guitars are swift and clean while their voices complement each other. The album flows from one song to the next, making it difficult to find a place to stop. The best part is that I find myself focusing on GOD's character (just like the traditional hymns) instead of be-bopping to a catchy tune.
The idea behind "Psalms" is really simple, but the outcome is quite magnificent. I would highly recommend it to anyone who's frustrated with popular Christian music or just looking for a great worship album for encouragement.

Finally, quality worship music, May 23, 2005
This review is from: Psalms (Audio CD)
Shane and Shane have created an intelligent, musically stunning, and heartfelt look into the Psalms. This is some of the only good Christian music that is out there right now. The guitar rhythms and screaming vocals create a sound like none other.
