I am pleased with the growth of this new sound that Emery has and happy to see them expand.  The first 2 songs grab you with the traditional Emery sound, then a whole new sound takes over for the next 2 songs and the switchback continues throughout the entire CD.

Also, right now Amazon has the CD selling for at $1 cheaper than iTunes.  Check out this link to download the full CD in MP3 format.

Lyrically, Emery is just the same as always.  Strong, yet quiet, Christian Lyrics.
