 Something different September 9, 2008
Each album by DCB is just a little different. This one really mixed it up from what I was expecting. It to me not as user friendly as their earlier stuff, but we all grow in different directions.
Great, but not quite "A Collision" August 29, 2008
Funny, but maybe it takes time for each DC*B release to become my favorite as I didn't love "A Collision" compared to "Illuminate" and I don't love "Remedy" compared to "A Collision", yet. Certainly some songs standout on "Remedy" like "Never Let Go", "Surely We Can Change", "Can You Feel It", "The Glory Of It All" and "Everything Glorious". Another gem by DC*B. I'm guessing in another few months this will be my favorite.
 An Amazing Experience August 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
First, I'd like to establish that I have listened to a broad range of music growing up as a classical violinist and pianist. I have listened to all types of "classical" music, world music, secular music through the ages, hip hop, independent artists. I know a lot about music and there is not a song on this album I don't love.
At first I was surprised that this album didn't create a greater applause but understand why now. The vocal style is more 80's rock, not clear and pretty but emotional and good nonetheless. Next, the style in which this album was produced is similar to some energetic electronica sounds popular today that you'd find in secular bands such as Postal Service, Psapp, Bitter:Sweet. I love this about the album because SO much Christian music sounds the same. DCB, however, ventures outside of the stale standard rock band set that it seems these unadventurous Christian reviewers are missing. Last, this is an AMAZING worship album and I don't know how someone can say that it doesn't inspire praise.
By Track:
Glory of It All - Great for worship. Talks about God's enduring love for us all.
Can You Feel It? - Topic: Can you feel God's presence surrounding you?
Everything Glorious - beautiful love song to God.
---Neverending... -- A fun worship song which points to how God's divine nature and our reason for life centers in His never-ending existence.
Never Let Go - A passionate ballad about God's steadfastness
O, For a Thousand Tongues to Sing - Lyrics sound like a hymn but a contemporary mix
Rain Down - An impassioned cry to God set in a minor key
We Won't Be Quiet - Another fun worship song overflowing with God's joy
Remedy - A ballad about how God is the only Remedy for our troubled world
Surely We Can Change - A wonderful ballad and my favorite track on this album (though it's hard to choose). Everyone I think can relate to feeling helpless in the face of the world's depravity. This beautiful song sings as a prayer.
If you are completely adverse to electronic orchestration I can understand disliking this album. It definitely has a lot of energy and should appeal to plenty teenage Christ followers. I have definitely had many wonderful moments drawing near to God with the music and would hate for you to miss out on account of reviewers with obsolete taste in music.
 Remmedy? August 8, 2008
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
Remedy is no remedy for the poor styling, poor vocal quality, and lack of worship this band brings. The band sound brings a jittery delivery that does not engender worship.
In years to come we will look around and people will say, David Crowder - who? Some of the songs will endure, but only when redone in a truly worshipful style.
A Solid Praise Album August 4, 2008
'Remedy' is a well done CD with several good praise songs.
There are few standout tracks, but none are bad either. The best song is 'Everything Glorious'. Perhaps my expectations were too high after his album 'A Collision', but this one just does not seem that impressive to me. It is really pretty average.
For anyone who is not familiar with this group, I would definitely recommend their album, A Collision. It is a 'must have' for any Christian music fan.
