The third long awaited release in the fall of this year for Casting Crowns is here! Compared to the first two releases, this is nothing like their previous music. For those who may not have heard this album yet, you may be in for a surprise. Mark Hall has done some very impressive ballad and inspiring somgs. This album takes both the music and the lyrics a step further. You listen to these songs and you find that they are filled with rich heart to heart realisitc lyrics. You get a taste of it from two of the songs, East To West and Slow Fade. As far as I know the East To West song has been climbing the charts drastically within the beginnings of it being played on Christian radio. Most of these songs and their styles are not new, but certainly have been updated by dusting off soem of the older artists like Wayne Watson and Steve Green in the fact that the lyrics are driven from a deep personal level, which is lacking in the Christian community. This album is both disturbing and uplifting.Read full review
This is Casting Crown's third album. Still the same style as first two albums, down to earth, and the lyrics really speaks. That's just the group's style. If you like their first 2 albums, you will not be disappointed. Most songs were written by Mark Hall, the lead singer. It even includes a song written by him at age of 15! He wrote the song as a prayer for his friend. The title "The Altar and The Door" indicates the place all believers live, between the Altar and the Door. The songs with * are my favorites: What this world needs * Every man Slow Fade - Singing Debut with Mark Hall's daughter East To West * The Word is alive * - Created by both Mark Hall and Steven Curtis Chapman The Altar and the door * Somewhere in the middle I know You're There Prayer for a friend - A song written by Mark Hall when he's 15 years old All Because of Jesus The first 2 albums were all platinum-selling. This one will no doubt be platinum again. Thank you for reading! God bless!Read full review
I just bought this cd today. I already love it. The first song ("What This World Needs") on the cd gets things going with the rockiness of the song. Some of the songs sound like the classic Casting Crowns, but other songs like "The Alter and the Door" has a little bit of a different sound. This cd also, as in the other two cds, talks about difficult subjects. As in "Somewhere In the Middle" talks about us and if we are willing to trade our dream for God's. This cd is a solid choice for anyone. I LOVE Casting Crowns and I LOVE this cd. The Alter and the Door is a sure hit!!! This band is truly for God and they show it through this masterpiece.
Will be playing it today since I will be driving for over a half hour to church. I'm sure it will be great!
