Album Description
With the release of its 11th studio album Revelation, Third Day's Mac Powell, Tai Anderson, Mark Lee and David Carr have hit new heights as Christian music's premiere rock band. Recorded in Los Angeles, the first time Third Day has worked on a project outside of the South, Third Day's signature rock sounds gets an infusion of new energy thanks to the band's new collaboration with producer by Howard Benson (Daughtry, Flyleaf, Hoobastank, P.O.D.). With his heart on his sleeve, frontman and principal lyricist Mac Powell gives voice to the emotions all believers feel as they attempt to reconcile everyday struggles with the hope born of salvation. Songs like "Run To You," "Born Again," "This Is Who I Am," and the first single, "Call My Name" are like musical stepping stones on the band's creative journey. The result is a new chapter in Third Day's story; it is truly a musical revelation.
Album Description
Third Day opens hearts and minds with the album Revelation. This Third Day's project kicks off with vocalist Mac Powell declaring 'I'm the son of a good man/I'm the child of an angel,' you don't get the sense the statement is necessarily autobiographical. It's personal yet universal; a reflection of man's never-ending search for his identity. This is their 11th studio album and the band has hit new heights as Christian music's premiere rock band. Recorded in L.A., the first time Third Day has worked on a project outside of the South, Third Day's signature rock sounds gets an infusion of new energy thanks to the band's new collaboration with producer by Howard Benson (Daughtry, Flyleaf, Hoobastank, P.O.D.).

 Third Day's "Revelation" July 29, 2008
17 out of 18 found this review helpful
After three long years, the wait is finally over. Third Day is back with "Revelation", their first album of all new material since 2005's "Wherever You Are" and their first following the departure of long-time guitarist Brad Avery (this is his final album with the band despite not being credited as an official band member).
Musically and lyrically, "Revelation" is loaded with all of the elements that make Third Day who they are. Their unmistakable Southern rock style is heard throughout the entire CD and singer Mac Powell's voice is still full of grit and passion. Above and beyond the music, Third Day's powerful Christian message and lyrics of uplifting hope and encouragement cut straight to the heart especially in the songs "Call My Name", "Let Me Love You" and "Take It All".
"Revelation" also has some notable guest apperances from Chris Daughtry who sings backup on "Slow Down", Flyleaf's lead singer Lacey Moesely on "Run To You" and "Born Again" and steel guitar extraordinaire Robert Randolph who plays a mouth-dropping solo on "Otherside".
With all this said, if you've enjoyed the music of Third Day in the past, you'll definitely love "Revelation". This is one of their strongest albums to date and definitely shows Third Day at their very best.
Truly a Revelation indeed!!!
 A strong effort that includes some pop/rock gems July 31, 2008

Third Day is in fine form on Revelation, their first new studio recording since Christmas Offerings (2006). With the departure of guitarist Brad Avery, whose contribution to this project is acknowledged by the band, Third Day is now a foursome.
From the opening "This Is Who I Am" the band makes it clear that this is a rock album. Don't expect to find any praise and worship songs. Third Day rocks hard throughout the recording, but they sound best when they are in the more moderate pop/rock mode. The melodies are stronger, which makes for better songs.
The best example may be the title song, which is a pop/rock gem. It starts off as a keyboard ballad that has a beautiful chiming guitar on the chorus. The song captures the feeling of what it's like to lose your way. The chorus is a plea for God to show one what to do. Even Christians lose their way at times. I appreciate the fact that this song and several others give voice to the struggles that are common to us all.
Another outstanding track is "Born Again," which is a duet with Flyleaf's Lacey Mosley. She also sings on "Run to You." Sadly, the words "born again" seem to carry a lot of baggage in our society. But this is the best song with those words that I have ever heard. This is a beautifully written and performed ballad.
"Today I found myself searching all these years
And the man that I saw wasn't all who I thought he'd be
I was lost when you found me here
I was broken beyond repair
Then you came along and sang your song over me
Feels like I'm born again, feels like I'm living
For the very first time in my life."
With it's poignant lyrics, dreamy guitar and peaceful sounds, this may be my favorite song. It's the ultimate soundtrack for making a new start with God.
"Slow Down" is a great blues rock song. Robert Randolph adds his amazing playing to "The Other Side," but the song is not one of the most compelling.
In contrast to the songs that give voice to our fallen condition, a number of songs are written from God's perspective, offering love, hope and comfort. The first single, "Call My Name" is a prime example. Drummer David Carr has said, "Sharing God's love with people has always been core to us. We want to reiterate that God loves us." Lyrics like this are comforting to me. When I am hurting, it's the simple truths that mean the most. Third Day has done an excellent job of gracefully weaving these precious realities into a number of these songs.
"Take It All" is an acoustic song of surrender. I would like to hear more of the acoustic side of Third Day.
This is a strong collection of songs that with few exceptions I took to immediately. Not having heard much of their previous work, I can't say with authority that this is among their best recordings, but I would guess that it's true. I would not hesitate to recommend this to Third Day fans and fans of pop/rock.
this album is AWESOME July 29, 2008
7 out of 8 found this review helpful
This album is AWESOME. I have seen some of the songs in concert and listened to others online.
Don't listen to these cover art comments. It is what is inside that counts. The new songs on this album are already being covered and played on Christian Radio and "Call My Name" is a hit even before release.
The band really stretches to do something new and to tackle lyrics that are challenging to your faith and connecting to your life.
Buy it and enjoy!

 Wire Returns Dressed As Revelation July 31, 2008
7 out of 12 found this review helpful
IF you liked Wire you will like this cd. If you were let down by Wire and felt that it tended to push God to the back with its ambiguous and secular lyrics then you won't like this cd as much either. However Revelation is better than Wire in its musical sound efforts and I did find that I liked more songs than Wire. The first half of Revelation was great and I was excited with tracks 1-6, but then it kinda went down hill being hit and more miss in the second half. The second half seemed to be kinda corny and filler songs. In conclusion Third Day again reaches to the mainstream with Revelation as they did with Wire and my guess is it won't work either. If it doesnt work out look for a closer God Centered release next like Wherever You Are. I read in CCM that Wire flopped with most of the fans because Third Day had dropped a lot of the "Christian Lyrics". Revelation does this for the most part with the exception of a few songs notably in the song "Slow Down" where the chorus calls out So Help Me God! Also later in a song they do Thank God For His Mercy and Grace. Other than those songs there, the set up, sound, and type of songs sound like a redo of Wire. Will we see Third Day join the likes of Switchfoot on crossing over? They tried with Wire but with Revelation they might have a chance.
