Title: A live worship album, without the audience
Review: Oh, that Don Moen. Even when you take one of evangelical Christianity's best known worship leaders into a recording studio, it still sounds like he's in a church full of worshippers. Hiding Place, his first studio album (as far as I know) has Don still doing little monologues in the middle of songs and saying the words to the next line of lyrics before singing them. In other words, he's doing exactly what he does in concert. It's kinda amusing to hear.But what about the material? I own (and reviewed on Amazon) his last three projects and each had at least one song that absolutely moved me into a place of tearful worship. I'm still hoping that happens with Hiding Place. So far, nothing's done that and I must admit, this album has a lot of unmemorable, slow to mid-tempo songs that lack in energy. But maybe I just have to hear the album some more.
Is the review positive or negative?
