Anyone heard this new album from Hillsong United?
Kind of different from their previous albums, for me most of the songs hindi bagay sa congregational singing during praise and worship. Though I love the lyrics of the songs in the album. Magaganda. Tagos, hugot talaga. Lyrically, medyo madameng reaction world wide lalo yung kantang Even When It Hurts (Praise Song), dun sa part na
"Even when it hurts like hell, I'll praise You", Dahil ata dun sa "hell", though I understand what it means and kung ano gusto iparating ng composer nun. There's no issue for me. As long as people are blessed on their songs then that's great! Mas ok talaga.
Anyway, If I will rate this album as 10 being the highest, I'll give it 8.5
Awesome lyrics that can really connect to the heart of the listeners. Melody is not that singable compared to their old songs and can't be use in congregation (Maybe just several songs). And synth driven na naman kasi, I'm still missing the electric driven songs. (Bias kasi guitarist ako) haha.. Well your thoughts?
