This is the strongest Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir release since the superb "High and Lifted Up" in 1999. The BTC's arrangements and production values are always first-class, but the quality of the material has sometimes been inconsistent. Here the material is all top-notch, though I might have preferred one or two more faster pieces. The opening number, "Thou, O Lord," is a powerful slow-tempo tour de force like "Total Praise," which opened the 1999 recording. You'll also find yourself humming with two other outstanding slow gospel songs, "Heaven on My Mind" and "I Bless Your Name." For me the high point of this album is Joe Pace's "High and Lifted Up," a fast-paced praise chorus arrangement not to be confused with the entirely different composition on the 1999 recording. BTC should do more of Joe Pace's material.
In some of its earlier recordings, the BTC brought in then-popular gospel singers like Larnelle Harris and Wayne Watson for individual cuts. This new album closes with a fine slow ballad featuring Donnie McClurkin, entitled "Song of Moses." If you liked the BTC's "Days of Elijah" on its previous album, you should check out the electrifying version of "Days of Elijah" on McClurkin's recent release.
My own church choir has enjoyed singing a number of BTC pieces. When the arrangements are published, we'll surely want to sing several of these.
The album is advertised as a "live" album, but clearly much of the work was done in recording studios. Personally, I prefer this choir's pure studio recordings, without the applause, which sounds canned even though I'm sure it's not. I don't suppose many other gospel choirs have the financial resources to do first-class studio recordings, but this one does.

Although the Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is my favorite in Christian recordings, and this one is very lovely, it isn't one of the very top ones for me. I do like it a lot, though, and listen to it fairly often.
