| great album, but where's the hype? I think this album should have gotten a lot more hype than it did. Everyone's always talking about MercyMe's first album, Almost There, especially their song 'I Can Only Imagine'. And don't get me wrong- it's a great album. But you never hear anything about Spoken For. Why is that?
Songs like 'Crazy' should have been topping charts just like 'I Can Only Imagine'. But they didn't. They did, however, top charts in my book.
Overall, the CD is a little too slow for me; I'm more into an edgier sound, which is why I love their newest album, Undone, which came out in April 2004. But there are a couple stellar tracks on the CD, especially 'Crazy' and 'All The Above'. Their songs are still incredibly inspired, moving testimonies. Another great album by a great band.
My rating: 7/10 -not upbeat enough for me, but if you're into slower music, get this CD and it will be your new favorite album of all time.
My verdict: Powerful lyrics in a package a bit more mellow than Almost There. Again, you will love this if you like slower music. If edgier is your style, like mine, get their latest album Undone, which sounds eeriely like Casting Crowns.
