If you are someone who may be trying out Christian music for the
first time, or if you enjoy
any kind of music, the best way that I can describe Caedmon's Call's 40
Acres is by telling you that they are a mellower version of Barenaked
Ladies. I really enjoyed the instruments on this CD, especially what I
believe to be a 'leslie' in songs like "Climb-on."
The first selection, "There You Go" was a good choice to put
first. The beat was catchy and it held my interest! I didn't like the next
song, though, because it sounded too country-ish, but if you're into that
style, that's cool.
The songs I really enjoyed were "Shifting Sand," "Table For Two,"
"Somewhere North," and "Petrified Heart." "Petrified Heart" also reminds me
of a Third Day type of song (this is a good thing... I like Third Day very
much!), but it had sort of an Irish twist to it.
All in all, the CD was much needed for the trials that I have been
going through these past 2 weeks, and I recommend it to anyone else feeling
the pressures of the end of the semester (or school year, or just every day
life!). God is so good, just cast your cares upon Him, and watch what He
does with them!
