Remedy

If you didn't know, the new Crowder cd came out yesterday. It's pretty fantastic. I was never a big Crowder fan until Desperation actually. Then I started listening more and more to get ready (cause you have to!) and was impressed. I thought they were great at Desperation, although I know not everyone thinks so. I have no problem with mixing a video game loop with an 80s beat and "worship music", cause I think joy and fun and laughing are pretty pleasing to God... Except that worship music is sacred and all... Ow, sometimes the inside of my cheek is so raw from rubbing against my tongue all the time...

So Crowder cds are typically pretty experimental, and this one is, well, not so much. And they often have a huge amount of songs and intermissions and such. This one has 10 songs. OH MY GOSH CROWDER SOLD OUT!!11! Instead what you get is a set of songs that are cohesive, feature really simple yet profound lyrics, and music that is interesting, catchy, fun, deep, fast, slow, and all over the place. It's so real. He makes an effort over and over to get people to engage in worship instead of just watching the band play. And then hits on the Church needing to follow in Jesus footsteps and be the remedy to the world.

I love this cd. I'll be listening to this for a long time!
