Title: Not as Good as Kansas, but a Good Sophomore Effort
Review: There are some great high moments on this record, "Peace" is definitely one of them. But my favorite track from this album is "Diamond in the Rough." The music is wonderful, there is either a banjo or mandolin accompanying some really nice guitar work. That song is the best song on this record. The lyrics of this album kind of fell flat for me. The music seems to be moving away from the Christian themes that dominated Jennifer Knapp's previous release and more toward humanistic failings. This album was much less inspirational for me, but more about falling and be insecure in your faith. From a Christian perspective it wasn't very uplifting for me. It was almost like an album that fits between faith and doubt, but I did enjoy songs like a "Little More," "All Consuming Fire," and "When Nothing Satisfies."
