I See You 11. Prince Of Peace 12. Lord Have Mercy (Studio) 13. Here I Am To Worship (Studio) 14. There She Stands (Studio) The night that Michael W. Smith recorded what would become his first worship album, he told the 9,000 worshippers gathered in Lakeland, Florida that God was moving. 'I've never seen the power of the Holy Spirit sweep across a generation like I'm seeing today,' he said. The result of that night was the platnium-selling, Dove Award-winning Worship. But more meaningful than the accolades of men has been the countless lives brought closer to God through the songs of praise. Now, Michael invites listeners to Worship Again with his new album, recorded live in Louisville, KY. Review: 👍 - Great sound quality, good Praise and worship songs Review: Paradoxical Powerhouse - Paradoxical Powerhouse It took a lot of work for me to appreciate this album. For over a week I asked, "Michael, what _are_ you doing?" But then it began to seep in. This album is an eclectic powerhouse. Much of it recalls Renaissance tonality, with sparse harmony in the inner voices, but the collection ventures far and wide from there. There are power modulations from 70s classic rock, there are Michael Card-ish blends of classical instrumentation and soaring electric guitars. You'll hear block chords reminiscent of a conservative country church, you'll hear an American Indian-inspired rave up. Much of the album consists of "wall-of-sound" sonorities - sometimes it seems a bit too much so - but there certainly are tender moments also. The mood ranges from youthful exuberance to mature contemplation. As in its predecessor, _Worship_, violin solo and accompaniment are masterfully employed. The album also is a strange blend of the informal (most notably, with Michael's exclamations and even outright stage direction) and the highly disciplined. While most of it obviously is live performance, some cuts are indecipherably so, rivaling detailed studio work. I am impressed with the amount of depth and polish worked into the music. My favorite cut is the Smith family's own haunting _I Can Hear Your Voice_. It has a very transparent texture that recalls refined classical vocal writing. My best single moment is Amy Grant's cameo in the studio version of _Lord Have Mercy_. Beyond her masterful phrasing and voice control, I felt in my spirit that this was indeed her own public confession and repentance. That was moving, and was what began to soften me to this album. I also am impressed with the work of the lead guitarist, Glenn Pearce, especially on _I See You_ ("Everywhere I go"). His melodies don't quit. The bottom line of music for the Christian is how it affects him spiritually. I wrestled with this album for a while, but once I understood what it was doing, I was moved. If you have an open mind, and are willing to work with it at first, I think you will find spiritual riches to be mined in this collection.

A great blend of Worship Music
I enjoy various tracks of this album, I enjoy track 1, but then find myself searching ahead to track 8 on... but the music from track 8 on is awesome. The only track that does not fit the album at all is the last song, not even sure what this song (I think it's about the Statue of Liberty) is doing on an album of praise and worship music to God is beyond me. All in all, worth the money for some very well arranged christian music.

Highly Inspirational as is Worship
After getting the "Breathe" and "Above All" singles as MP3s, I was so impressed that got the entire "Worship" album. I then got the" Worship Again" CD album with the same impression. Since then, I wanted to see an actual Mathew W. Smith service and got the his DVD "Worship" which included segments from his Worship and Worship again services and was really impressed!! I got the same impact as I would witha Pink Floyd or Moody Blues live concert!

安心して聴いていられます
最初から最後まで全曲とも、万人受けしそうなメロディーライン 明るく優しい歌声、速くも遅くもないテンポ、かっこいい編曲 クリスチャンポップのライブ盤ですが、 英語が聞き取れない人にとっては作業用ＢＧＭにちょうどいいのでは？ と思いました。（失礼なこと言ってすみません） これを聞きながらだと、家事がはかどりそうです。 気分が安定するからです。買って良かったです。
