If there’s one genre that’s often hard to critique it’s contemporary Christian. Not being a very religious person myself, it’s tough to know which angle to approach these things. Is it overly preachy? Is the music good? Could any of the messages in the lyrics apply to someone else who wasn’t a devout Christian? Well, it’s probably a safe bet that if you aren’t into this sort of thing, then this album won’t be worth your time. But Michael Anthony Milton does have a nice singing voice, and the songs are pretty enough, produced well, and aren’t too obtrusive. But I feel the same way about this that I felt about George Harrison’s Krishna stuff: it might be groovy to others, but I’m not feelin’ it. Let’s just split the difference and call it even, then.
