"Somethin' Takes Over" is a great vintage First Call album, recorded in the days when they still were a trio (1987). This was also the year that I got into Christian Music, and there were lots of other artists out there with fine albums (The Imperials, Phil Keaggy, Heartbeat, etc.). The tracks on "Somethin' Takes Over": 1. The Comin' of the Lord 2. Somethin' Takes Over 3. The Reason We Sing 4. Billy on the Boulevard 5.Forever in His Care 6. O Sifuni Mungu 7.The Look 8. Back to His Heart 9. Double Talk 10. Lord of All.
The standout tracks for me are "The Reason We Sing" (wonderful harmony vocals), and "The Look", a powerful well arranged rocker that spotlights all of the vocalists. "Billy on the Boulevard" has a Manhattan Transfer feel to it. Their next album, "Human Song" was nearly as good, but with one singer gone and another in her place. If you are only familiar with the more current First Call albums, "Somethin' Takes Over" will be a pleasant change for you.

I bought this album more than thirty years ago. It was fantastic at that time. More incredible yet is that after all this years the music still sound very modern and all that work done to complete it, amazing. I love specially "All creatures of Our God and King", beside others tracks.

this is by far the best album that first call ever did. they are the greatest!
