Innovative, heart-wrenching music--the kind of melodies that sleek through your skin and wrap around your bones--paired with voices that belt out a heart's cry and lyrics that take off shoes in deepest darknesses with the wide-eyed awareness of God's nearness there. I believe that Waterdeep is doing something that Jesus does, and that "Christian Culture" rarely does--reach into the masses, with truth *and* mercy; explore the rawness there, and the beauty. They know about how their faith surrounds blood and sacrifice, and one who was not afraid of our worlds' sickness. The result? They can sing about death, the world's craziness, men leaving their wives for bimbos, God speaking in bathrooms next to the condom machine, how everyone "seems basically fine" and yet they "cling to what's dead, instead of what's alive." Artists, writers, *anyone* engaging in the world should listen to their music as a lesson in how to explore the lengths and depths of Christ's love in *today's* world (and not in the fanciful, utopian dream of medieval Christianity come lately--my tendency, and many of ours, I think). Those in need of a new glimpse of grace should listen simply to know the One who loves them once again. There have been times when I had to stop their CDs because what the music did to me was too fast and furious for my soul to handle all at once....

This CD is excellent. If you want to purchase it, you can get it for 10 $ at the waterdeep website rather than having the proceeds go to someone selling it "used" for more than it's original cost.

If you want to be ministered to through music, get this cd. Their combonation of composition and prolific writing create an amazing listening experience. I have met the band and they truely committed to God. It is an awesome cd.

These reviewers are right on! Along with mewithoutYou, Waterdeep is the best band in the world!! Don Chaffer is BRILLIANT & spirited, Lori Chaffer is a SIREN of good!
