So many worship albums today use the same formula: Start with a fast song, play several slow songs, hit a mid-tempo near the middle, and close out with several more slow songs -- It's boring and predictable. Thankfully, Seth Nelsen approaches his worship album like a regular album. The tempos change throughout and you never feel like you're bogged down by repetitive slow songs, or stuck in a neverending upbeat rock album. Balance is key and Nelsen hits that area spot-on. Lyrically, the album manages to stay pretty fresh and avoids tons of borrowed lines. Best yet, the songs remain biblically based and spiritually relevant. While Victory is not a groundbreaking achievement in the world of modern worship music, it is a hopeful beacon. Straightforward modern worship albums don't have to follow the same repetitive formula that so many have fallen into. Seth Nelsen has a knack for songwriting and several tracks grab your attention for different reasons. Beyond that, he clearly has a heart for worshiping the Creator and a desire to help others come into His presence through the act of worship. If you're a fan of today's worship music, you should find plenty to like with Seth Nelsen's debut. Try "Victory," "Hopes Horizon," or "Worthy is the Lamb" for starters.
