Free Music Review: Second Best Christian Album of the 80's
Hit: 5 Stars
This album was my introduction to Barren Cross. I have had both cassette versions of this release since 1989 one with "Two Thousand Years" and the more "mainstream" version with "Your Love Gives" and now I just ordered this cd which has both of them included!
This album has meant alot to me over the years in terms of Christian Metal from that era due to it's sonic production which is more akin to Stryper releases from that era rather than the sub par productions of other great Christian metal acts of the day.
The lyrics are not overwhelmingly "Jesus Praising" but rather more more mainstream with an positive edge for example "Stage Of Intensity" is about playing on a stage in front of a crowd and "Love At Full Volume" is a song Mike Lee wrote about the love for his wife and it's NOT a ballad that honor goes to "Your Love Gives" which is the only ballad in the lot!
Alot of songs have to do with your self worth such as lying to someone(Hard lies) and having "insane" thoughts (Out Of Control) all bent on helping you through your "rough day" rather than preaching as some other christian bands did.
The only song with a blatant Chritian message is "Two Thousand Years" but it still rocks hard.
As for my self I am not a "Born Again Christian" but rather someone who just loves good metal Christian or not and this album easily ranks in my top 20 albums of all time and only 1 other Christian metal album ranks up that high....Sacred Warrior - Masters Command which is a masterpice both musically and lyrically and I highly recommend it as it 's the best Chritian Metal album of all time!
Also pick up Barren Cross - Rattle Your Cage as it's is another assault on your metal senses and unfortunately the least known album from these guys
