New Lifehouse album

I picked up the new Lifehouse CD today from Best Buy (it was $9.99. Horray!). So far, I have mixed feelings about it. It is definitely a more subdued sound than their last album, very acoustic. I like the sound...it's just a little different than their last CD.

I am a little disappointed in the lyrics. Don't get me wrong, Jason Wade is an amazing songwriter, and that is reflected here as much as any other album. The songs I enjoyed the most lyrically (Everything, Anchor, Wash, etc.) were ones that spoke to me as love songs written to God. It is Jason's passion for the Creator that I appreciate the most. I don't see that side of him very often on this album.

CT mag has a great review of the album. It makes some good points, I agree with almost everything said.
