4.0 out of 5 stars Pure Pop for Godly People, October 3, 2001

This review is from: ... And This Is How I Feel (Audio CD)

Shimmery acoustic guitars and melt-in-the-mouth harmonies are the hallmarks of this, Nouveaux's second (and unfortunately, last) album. Starting off with "Maybe Tomorrow," an innocent ode to a future love, the disc highlights Paul Alan's limited, but passionate lead vocals. At times, the harmonies and generally tuneful songwriting recall PFR, but the group definitely finds its own sound and niche within the Christian Rock genre.

The crystal clear production from John and Dino Elefante, while sometimes a bit bland and processed-sounding, suits their acoustic-guitar-based creations well. On songs like "You Breathe," Alan even begins to sound a bit like John Elefante, while "Simply Beautiful" and "Never See the Day" recall power-popsters like the Posies and the Rembrandts.

Altogether, "...and this is how I feel" is a very enjoyable and affecting work. The boys definitely knew what they were doing, and one can only hope that Paul Alan's recent solo debut will continue to shine a light for Christ as brightly as this album does almost 6 years after its release.

By far, this is one of the greatest albums ever recorded. I've let many people listen to my copy of this and I have not found anyone that does not love it. Whether it be the lyrics, the music, or just the pure thoughts relayed - there is something for everyone (and in most cases, all of it is for everyone). There are few albums that are this encouraging to people and, to me, I feel that finding this CD is a complete blessing. It has kept me going when I have been down. Truly, this is an inspired work by our Creator.

I absolute love this CD!! It doesn't get much better than this. Nouveaux is amazing! Althoug I don't think they are together any more, I rate them as one of my favorite bands. If anyone has information on how to contact them or if they have a websight e-mail me, because these guys will take your breath away.
