 Mercy Me/All That Is Within Me December 28, 2007

All That Is Within Me
Mercy Me has outdone themselves again!
This is an amazing cd and is one of my very favorites.
 Overproduced February 25, 2008

I bought the album while I was on a trip and I got the collector's edition with the DVD concert included. I thought the concert sounded dead and like it was missing something... Then the lead singer said something to offend just about any Charismatic, which went something like "... and if going into convulsions and foaming at the mouth is your thing..."
Real charming and mature.
I decided to look past that and listen to the CD after I got home and I had it playing in the car for a couple of days. This album was just way overproduced. It was heavily orchestral and became a burden almost immediately. And I think at the end of the CD were a couple of bonus tracks of the overproduced songs, but done in an acoustic fashion. I guess they just didn't know which way to swing with this one.
The thing that made Mercy Me great was the harmony of the singers and the heart-felt lyrics. I guess that season is over. :(
EDIT (10-14-08): I wish I could downgrade it to a 2-star for money that could have been well spent elsewhere. And for the people dropping my usefulness, could you please be less vapid? Just because someone doesn't agree with you doesn't mean a review isn't useful.

Bands and artists that have been around for a while with five or more albums, and numerous top singles under their belts, seem to dumb down from one record to the next. So, when I was in the mood to try something new to listen to, somehow I picked up MercyMe's latest album All That Is Within Me. I didn't expect much from these guys. But as I began to listen, I realized I was wrong. Let me sum it up in two words.
Uplifting rockabilly.
If those two words truly go together.
This being the sixth studio album from the pop/rock group, they've strengthened what makes them so great.
The track "Goodbye Ordinary" starts the record off with a powerful rock anthem that is sure to please fans, but they don't stop there. The next song "Time Has Come" beats up the tempo as it shows off the band's edge to rock. "I Know" is a song that professes faith in God through love.
The first radio single off this album "God With Us" is torn from the same cloth as previous singles and made to become a lasting one. The two songs "Sanctified" and "You Reign" are simple titled songs with deep meaning and inspirational moods. One of the most outstanding tracks comes next with "Grace Tells Another Story". Bart Millard's vocals display conviction and morality, creating a beautiful ballad about God's grace. The song "Alright" reminded me (if I had lived in the 70's) of a song that could have been done by the group Steve Miller Band. Rounding out All That Is Within Me are the sweet moving tracks "My Heart Will Fly" and "Finally Home" that each touch on love and, what seems to be a theme in MercyMe's music, our journey toward heaven.
MercyMe has come a long way since the astronomical hit "I Can Only Imagine". Instead of being a one hit wonder band, they showed the Christian music scene that they can hold their own. In this album no barriers are broken or new avenues explored, but it's another solid recording these guys can hold high. Whether or not I wanted to listen to this album, pickers can't be choosers, and I am sure glad I did.

I feel Mercy Me need to write more christian songs more contemporay christian songs with with out the rock sound to them. I think they,d be better off useing a combination of Accoustic, electric guitars, Piano,Saxphone, trumpet,& some base guitar, chimes in thwere next CD for 09. Id say wait til the next cd after this one before you buy anymore of there music.

When I hear a song by an artist or group and like it, I tell myself that there's a good chance I'll like more from this person or group. After hearing "God With Us" a number of times I thought I would download this album, knowing I've liked these guys before. After listening one or two times to the entire thing, it became quickly one of my favorite Christian set of songs I've ever experienced (I say this not as a seasoned music critic, just a guy who loves good songs). Literally I love every song here! I can't say that with all the albums I have, who can? From "God With Us" reminding us down here that there's One closer than the air in our lungs to "Almost Home" giving us a glimpse into the future when tears are wiped away at the site of the King and reunited with those we love to "You Reign" telling us through it all Jesus sits on His throne, these songs give life to the walk we call the human journey with others and our Companion. May they continue to be inspired and spread the incredibly Good News of Jesus, His coming and our hope.
