Preview of New Album
Permalink  

Hey y'all, was doing a little web surfing and stumbled upon a 'preview' of the guys new disc.  While I'm not personally thrilled with how the reviewer described the tracks on the album , I thought I should post the link anyways, as it also has links so you can listen to clips of four of the tracks: Filled With Your Glory, Tumbling After, Revolution, and Cry In My Heart.


The link is: http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/cdreviews/Starfield.asp


Also wanted to post an older link that was written by Karen Bliss [the same woman who listed them in Access magazine's 10 Canadian Artists to watch this year]. The article talks about the new album, as well as how they became Sparrow artists.  I really like this article because she portrays the band exactly how they are, and because Tim is so frank about how every other label they talked with tended to, in his words, 'blow sunshine', which, in my opinion, is the best quote I've heard in a long time.


The link for that article is: http://jam.canoe.ca/JamColumnBliss/feb19_bliss2-can.html

That is an awesome quote (the sunshine one)!  Thanks for sharing the articles Mac.  Good stuff; Tim is so honest!  I read jesusfreakhideout's review of "In the Name of Love" a few months ago and they basically said the same thing about Starfield there, that they were unimpressive. (link: http://www.jesusfreakhideout.com/cdreviews/InTheNameOfLove.asp)


So I'm not surprised about their early review of the new album.

Wow, its so weird to listen to the songs you know and love and hear things different about them. They're minor changes but... whoa.

Revolution sounds awesome.

Less than a month away till the new album comes out!  I love their new songs!


Is it just me or is anybody else getting a low quality of the audio samples provided on jesusfreakhideout's page?  At first I thought I heard distortions in Tim's voice and then I realized that it was probably the files themselves.  I don't think their voices could have changed that much

Yeah, the quality was really bad. I even thought I heard him sing a different word than he really was. But I guess its just to give you a sample and not so you share the songs all around before the CD comes out. Kinda sucks, though...

YAY! I can't wait for the new album. It is going to be so awesome! Who all is going to pick it up on May 18th. I'm so going to get it before school that day... and then'll I'll listen to it all day. Revolution was so awesome to hear in concert. Their concerts are going to keep getting great. God is going to work through them so much in the next while, we need to keep praying for the guys, that God will give them wisdom and guidance during the coming time.

Indeed. As much as I love Tim's voice, I love Jon's as well, and I wish we'd get to hear more of him singing.

Hey y'all,


Found another site with clips from the new album - I liked these better than the ones at Sparrow 'cos you can hear more than just the chorus, and it gives you a real feel for the songs. Here's the link: http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/product/147582743?item_no=CD8901&netp_id=339312&event=ESRCN&item_code=WW

I totally agree with that; it was a little weird to listen to the new versions of these songs when I'm so used to the Tumbling After versions.  I do like that the new versions of the songs now sound more like what you hear at the concerts.

That's a really good question...I was asking myself the same thing when I heard the clip. 


Ah well, all I know is that this album is going to be amazing, I can hardly wait 'till May 18th

Wow, these do sounds better. *listens to them over and over again*

...I'm still ticked about Tumbling After, though.

Thanks Mac!  You rock   the longer clips definitely give a better picture of the songs.  I wonder which song will be the first single in Canada.  Is "Filled With Your Glory" going to be first only in the States?
