This album has a very different feel from the David Crowder I’m use to. Granted, every CD has actually changed quite a bit, which I think shows a lot of the bands creative ability, but this one was hard for me to like. Very electronic feel, which is harder for me to worship to personally. I think many people, probably especially musicians, can appreciate this, and will love it. But I love the “a collison” and “can you hear us” and “illuminate” David Crowder, this is different though. So I am totally not downplaying what might be good in other people’s minds, but if you are thinking of the old DC, I would say listen to some samples first before just purchasing. This to me persoanlly was the worst album he created, and didn’t really help lead me to worship the Lord.

If the goal of this new album was to go a completely different direction and use a completley different “sound”/style that sounds almost nothing like David Crowder…this album has achieved that goal. That being said, if you were feeling like DCB had peaked or stagnated or was getting boring, this may be the album for you. I just cannot wrap my mind around David Crowder with a disco drum beat and techno-noise with tons of keyboard sounds in the background. It’s not so much that I don’t like that he has changed his style, it’s that I don’t think it works for him given his voice and style of songwriting. It seems they are trying to appeal to the pop music/radio freindly/tween audience with this one. That’s a swing and a miss in my book. I’ll be selling it at the local used CD store after I burn “How He Loves” to my I-Tunes.

DCB was my favorite worship music. But this album is just not what I’m used to from this great worship band. For some reason they’ve now moved their music to “techno-dance.” Almost every song is heavy on the digital techno sounds with a driving synthetic dance beat. It causes the songs to run together with no differentiation. If this is the direction of their music, sadly it will be the last DCB album I buy.

I know that some people will be surprised by the sound of this new project, but that’s because they may have forgotten what DC*B sounds like live. Remedy Club Tour Edition showed that DC*B are a worship band that wants to retain a joyful playfulness and on this album Church Music – Dance is a perfect example. Even so, DC*B is restrained by a reverence not heard in previous recordings like on the track Eastern Hymn, which is amazing. This is a great album and highly recommended for people who love worship music but also want something fun to listen to.
