3.0 out of 5 stars "Remedy" Essential but not Groundbreaking, September 25, 2007

After A Collision, what was DC*B supposed to do? That record stands as a masterpiece of Christian music and rock music in general. Yet Remedy is not the disappointment it could have been.

Remedy is a return to form for the Waco, TX based worship group. What you'll get is 10 tracks of solid praise music, in true David Crowder Band genre-mixing electronically influenced style. This is the music you'll be hearing at forward-thinking churches around the world for the next few years, and if you get the record now you'll enjoy hearing the songs all the more. Standout tracks include "Glory of It All" with its instantly memorable hook, the borderline danceable "Can You Feel It?", and the title track.

All in all, this record is one that Christian music enthusiasts and worship leaders should definitely own. But if you're a fan of music in general, please do yourself a favor and get A Collision. It's not to be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and Speaks to the Hurt, September 26, 2007

We are experiencing tragedy in our family at this time and the words that God has given David Crowder are not only comforting to us at this time, but also hopeful. Added the fact that Ted Nugent plays on this CD is truly a God thing! I wish I could explain why to each of you reading this, but you'll have to trust me on this!

This is by far his most emotionally charged CD. May it draw all to listen in closer fellowship with our God!

3.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good, I guess., April 30, 2008

I'll start out by saying that I think most of the critical praise bestowed on The David Crowder Band is justly deserved. Crowder is a forward thinker, an artist, a true worshipper, and an intellectual. The last album, A Collision, thrust the modern worship genre into totally uncharted territory. It was progressive, epic, heartfelt, inspiring, and original. Many have seen Remedy as a return to form of sorts, resorting back to 10 back-to-basics songs and losing the lofty concept motif. The results, in my opinion, are a mixed bag. The songs stand well enough on their own, but put together they play like a B-Sides record. Who else could put soaring arena rock, bluegrass, techno/nintendo rock, ballads, and reworked hymns on the same 10 song record? I rest my case. On A Collision the sheer number of tracks and the concept weighed out the mediocre material. Remedy lacks the cohesiveness of A Collision for that reason - there are not enough foundational tracks to make the toss-off tracks seem great. Don't get me wrong here. I like this record and listen to it often. In fact, I think "The Glory Of It All" is the best thing they've done yet. It's just that in light of what we all know DCB are capable of, this just doesn't hold up quite as well as a record. Also, the production is flashy, flashy, flashy - lots of time went into bells and whisltes, but the bottom line - good songs individually; pretty uneven as a record.
