5.0 out of 5 stars 1st Inpop-Newsboys record- and it's a winner!, October 31, 2006

By	"extreme_dig_cm" (Chicago, Il USA, Amazon.com Fan!) - See all my reviews

It's the *signature* Christian/pop/rock Newsboys sound reinvented- and it works!

...Not since Thrive, and maybe even Going Public & Not Ashamed(?), have we had a collection similar to this. It's mainly upbeat pop, and sometimes quirky, though not as edgy as we might expect. Newsboys getting back to basics...

1. "Wherever We Go": Cynics *might* roll their eyes at this, but it's good, clean fun. Great for kids! :)

2. "Go": Great title track; one of my favorites. Like early Newsboys revisited- yet it rocks like Thrive!

3. "Something Beautiful": Lives up to its name! Very catchy, eighties-like, synth-pop/beat.

4. "The Mission": Bright, fast-paced, inspirational and filled with hope! It's *also* a favorite...

5. "Let It All Come Out": It's healing of the *best* kind- if you needed it. And I did!

6. "In Wonder": It's a very passionate, non-traditional, worship track. It works!

7. "Your Love Is Better Than Life": Unique & fast-paced. Peter raps better than K-Fed!? :) Really, it's "wordy" in a good way...

8. "I Am Free": Does *this* track need any intro? It's easily one of my Top 3! I can't wait to hear this in concert...

9. "Secret Kingdom": A very catchy-sounding, energetic track- with familiar whistling. One of my favorites.

10. "The Letter": Rich with meaning; very Biblical! Very soothing- It's *not* on Go:Remixed.

11. "Gonna Be Alright": Very soft & exactly as advertised. It really *is* alright.

...It seems like an excellent mix between Thrive & everything released since Not Ashamed. It'll be interesting to see which tracks really take off in popularity- there are many potential hits here. Congratulations Newsboys- on a job *extremely* well done!

P.S. The ENHANCED version should have extra tracks & special video added. I accidentally bought a non-enhanced version at a local retailer! Now I have to buy 2 CDs. See "comments"...

5.0 out of 5 stars Newsboys keep rocking with Go!, November 18, 2006

By	Hannah Newsgirl - See all my reviews

This cd is one of the best cds to come out in 2006! It is awesome! A diverse collection of songs ranging from techno, rock, pop, worship, and more. There are a few slow songs but most of the songs are very upbeat tunes. The guitar sounds and drum beats are awesome. My favorite part about the music is the aussie accents! But the topics remain solid encouraging believers to GO share the gospel to all nations as Christ has commanded us. The album is very Christian but is not at all an unfriendly message to people who aren't Christians in fact many people who aren't Christians maybe inspired to live their lives with more purpose through this purpose filled music. If you like lively music than you will probably love this album! This cd is a must have! The Newsboys are my favorite band and have been for 10+ years and this cd shows how great this band really is and how seriously they take their jobs!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great eclectic Mix, December 2, 2006

By	Suzanne Osborn (Little Rock, AR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The newsboys know how to express the joy of being a Christian. One reviewer here complained about a section of what he felt were insipid lyrics in "Wherever We Go," but the point of the song (to me) is to show that incredible things can happen when you share the gospel-- and there are spiritual references in the second verse and bridge of the song.

The newsboys have performed before a plethora of audiences-- a few where the majority of the audience were not Christians-- and present the same message to one and all. Sometimes it's woven into a toe-tapping pop number. Not every song by every Christian group has to be a deep, healing song. Not every song has to present the gospel. (One of my favorite songs on the CD is a love song, Something Beautiful, written by Peter and Paul.) Sometimes you just need to be able to kick up your heels and revel in the joy that Christ gives.

I'm enjoying this CD so much, I'm taking it to the delivery room (which from the contractions I'm experiencing, may be tonight) to take my mind off the pain.
