Rock and Roll Worship Circus Sounds Great, April 22, 2003
This review is from: Welcome to the Rock N Roll Worship Circus (Audio CD)
Rock and Roll Worship Circus Circus's latest album was given to me by my brother-in-law J. Clinton Aull, the band's touring manager. I had listened to bands like Jars of Clay and DC Talk in the past, but I was never really a big Christian Rock fan. I do, however, like quality music and this band does a great job at producing just that. I will probably buy the next album when it becomes available. Hey, don't just take my word for it look what the critics have to say: "this is easily the best record of the year. Heck, it might even be the record of the decade for Christian music!" Christrock.com "Welcome to the Rock 'N' Roll Worship Circus.carves out a musical niche that is thoroughly original and gloriously uninhibited." cmcentral.com "You just need to have this album. Figure out a way to get it done. Don't eat lunch a couple of days, go without that movie this weekend, make do with convenience store coffee this week. Whatever. . . You MUST have this CD. I don't care if you're 65 years old or what your denomination is. I don't care if you like hymns or choruses. This is the one album to get (and give)!" worshipmusic.com "If you only buy one CD this year, let it be this one!"- 1340mag.com "Perhaps the most unique worship project ever released on a Christian Mainstream label!"-- Christian Musician Magazine "Five out of Five Stars! Don't Miss this One!"-- JesusFreakHideout.com Buy this album today and you'll be glad that you did! Check them out live. ... J.Clinton will make sure the sound is perfect so you can hear all the great songs. This band is truly blessed.

The best circus in town!, August 23, 2002
This review is from: Welcome to the Rock N Roll Worship Circus (Audio CD)
These guys rock! I bought their indy release last year, and was blown away by what I heard. I have to say that when I first got the cd and saw the way they were dressed, I was expecting some 80's "Crowded House" or "Flock of Seagulls" retro kind of sound, but that didn't happen. Instead, these guys have a heart for God that pours out of their music in every song. This release has several songs from that indy release and a few newer songs that will really catch your attention. "Loving You" is one of my favorite rockers on the cd, with a chorus that you'll be singing at the top of your lungs with the windows rolled down while driving way too fast on the highway. "The Undiscovered" has to be my favorite song on the whole cd though, with guitar work that would blow any guitar "hero" out of the water. Oh, and by the way, these guys don't have a bass player - but you would never have known it if not for the liner notes. All in all, this is a cd every "Delirious" fan should add to their collection, as these guys are redefining worship music like Delirious did a few years ago. I enjoy every moment of my trips to "The Circus", and I think you will too!

Not just rock stars, but family, too., March 9, 2003
This review is from: Welcome to the Rock N Roll Worship Circus (Audio CD)
For about four (?) years now, I have listened to the Circus (as we in Longview call them) become less of themselves, and more of Him. I have worshipped with them, prayed with them, given them my support at concerts and in prayer. And let me tell you, all the worship on this CD is nothing compared to the RRWC live on the stage. Gabe has an amazing gift of lyrical surrender and fresh perspective. Chon (Zurn) has unmistakable authority and imagination like no other when it comes to his drums. Chris (Solo, now married, and father to his newborn daughter, Nell) has played guitar as long as I can remember knowing him, and has always had his heart of worship nestled in his six strings of melody. Melanie (Blurr) has a wonderfully sweet voice and is equally creative playing her keys. Together, these four incredible souls bare all in surrender to their creator, asking for His forgiveness, proclaiming His love and power, and moving his heart with their song. Although nothing can possibly compare to worshipping with them, if you don't get to see them live, go ahead and get this CD. It will change your heart about Rock-n-Roll, and worship, and the Circus. I have read amazing things about this album from people on the other side of the country, saying that God definitely showed up when they played it. The opening track, "Loving You" is one of my favorite songs that Gabe has ever written, a song about our reason for being created, and we were made for (I love songs about destiny). My other favorites from this album include, (but not exclusively) "We Sing Glory," "Glorify the Son" (I consider this one another destiny song, one that describes what we should do in all aspects of our lives), and "Open the Gates" (I have experienced God's presence in awesome ways with this song alone). If you are looking for a fun-loving, Jesus-hugging, Trinity-praising CD, this is the one to get. If you want to get to know the band a little better, I recommend that you get the 2-disc version, (if you can find it) since that version has a "Meet the Band" video disc. Did I mention I love these guys?
