All I Can Say Review

There are very few album projects that transport the listener into an attitude of profound worship. Rich Mullins' The World As Best As I Remember It is one. John Michael Talbot's The Lord's Supper is another. Twila Paris' Cry For The Desert is yet another. All of these artists achieved these classic expressions of contemporary worship relying primarily on acoustic/traditional instrumentation and music forms. David Crowder Band, however, has achieved something infinitely rarer, and just as profound: the first truly modern great worship album. Far surpassing the efforts of the new spate of revved-up folk-rock worship bands, David Crowder Band's All I Can Say effortlessly and unselfconsciously blends modern and ambient rock with deeply poetic, spiritual lyrics. Sporting music that would easily fit stylistically into the programming of any modern rock radio station, the instrumentation forms a seamless sonic pastiche that provides a perfect backdrop for Crowder's impassioned vocals. All I Can Say is vital listening for any rock fan (modern or otherwise), but especially for the prospective listener who seeks to enter the Presence of God through the medium of today's music.
