Editorial Reviews

The Sky Is Falling has been out of print for years. This is a re-issue with a new booklet, new photos, brand new e.q. and new mastering done with new technology. This sounds great and these thirteen songs are among some of Randy's most significant compositions. "Postcards From The Heart" was recorded during The Sky Is Falling Sessions. It is about Randy's parents. "King of Hearts" is the full orchestra version which Randy wanted to make. The rock version was released instead. This is that orchestral version. "Good News" is from the audio-synch version of the movie BBC released. Larry produced the session and organized the booking and has the 24 track 2" tapes of it. He hopes to release the entire Stonehill and Band concert by next year. 1. One True Love 2. Through The Glass Darkly 3. Teen King (Alternate Mix) 4. The Great American Cure 5. Venezuela 6.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stonehill's best album, March 19, 2009

I have listened to Stonehill since 1976, and this is his best album, in my opinion. It is certainly the most honest, liberated, and musically diverse of his albums, as well as having great production and his deepest lyrics. "Through the Glass Darkly" ranks among the best songs ever recorded in the genre of rock. I progressively began losing interest in his albums after he signed on with Myrrh because editorially it sounded like they clipped his wings to conform to the Myrhh image. Too bad, because I think that if he and Larry Norman could have continued their musical collaboration they may have given the Beatles competition insofar as making a "perfect" album is concerned. No Stonehill collection could be considered complete without this and "Welcome to Paradise."

5.0 out of 5 stars another classic, January 4, 2010

I think the first album, Welcome to Paradise, was better. And there are a few clunkers on this cd. But overall this is a great album with some improved writing and production over Paradise.

I would rate the top three RS cds as Welcome to Paradise, Equator, and this one - The Sky is Falling.

This review is from: The Sky Is Falling (Audio CD)

It's been quite some time since I initially bought this record (on vinyl)
I was afraid that my great memories of the album may have been dashed, after hearing it on a cd many, many years later.

Not so! It was as fresh and inspiring as the first time I listened to this masterpiece...This certainly qualifies as one of "The 10 cd's you'd want if you were stranded on a desert island" to me...Masterful production by the late, gifted genius, Larry Norman.

To those of you who have never listened to this record, trust me, just buy it!
