5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Good, August 18, 2006

By	Will Riddle "and Jaime Riddle" (Cincinnati) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have always been a Hillsongs fan, but less so concerning the United albums--they have always seemed a little too "punk" for me, usually containing at least one song I can barely stand to listen to because of a super racy rhythm, guitar lick, or otherwise "surfer" sound (although I do not doubt the worship intent of the performers).

The "Look to You" album was the first United Live CD where none of the songs stood out like that. It is not to be overlooked by adult worshippers. Some songs were definitely more youthful-sounding than others, and some had very hard rock parts interlaced with more serious sections, but all were truly worshipful and controlled--making it one of the best passionate worship albums we own. It is a great synthesis of praise and worship, and definitely finely crafted songs/lyrics--not trite or pop-sounding stuff. The songs do not overlap much on the other albums either, as has been the case in some Hillsongs in the past.

The DVD highlights the passion and authenticity, especially in "All I Need Is You" and "There is Nothing Like." "All for Love" is beautiful, sung by a girl charmingly similar and yet different from Darlene Zschesh. I was very impressed how involved but God-focused the performance was--no-one was flinging themselves at the stage, and no singer was trying to draw attention to themselves. This was really touching. The DVD is also very well done compared to other worship DVDs we own--very professional and artistic, if a little fast in scene movement. It does not contain all of the songs on the album, just six of them.

Overall, I'm really surprised and pleased with this United. I hope they continue in this vein.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic--United's best release yet., July 21, 2006

By	Michael Simila - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Look to You is a continuation of several great releases by United. The music is alive and passionate, and the DVD brings to life the worship of Encounterfest. There are many powerful and moving songs on the album that have been used in my church and youth group. Another great sample of United's passionate worship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Young Hearts in Worship, May 8, 2006

By	Marco Polo "ABL" (Virginia) - See all my reviews

For the last few years, Hillsong United has been capturing the energy and passion for Christ in the hearts of the growing Christian youth movement. United brings that trademark energy, love and passion to this album as well. While the album is excellent throughout, the two best songs are the first, "Salvation is Here" and the last, a jaw-dropping version of Rich Mullin's classic "Awesome God". The album is worth the price for those two songs alone, but the entire album is a perfect blend of United high-energy praise songs and Hillsongs' trademarked worship songs that truely lead you into the throneroom of the Almighty. This album truely expresses a move of God in the hearts of youth everywhere, and the album will be blessing to all who hear it.
