I need to just come out and say it…
This may cause you to loose some respect for me…
I may no longer be able to speak into some of your lives.
I’m officially stepping out of the closet and making the statement…I am really liking the new Third Day album “Move”.
I know…it’s a shock, but I honestly like it. I really wanted to be able to place it in the category of “been there, heard that”. I desperately desired to put it off as another attempt from a band that once had it, but lost it a long time ago. I so wanted to listen with my “musical snobby” tastes and tear it apart…but I can’t.
It’s good. It’s fresh. It’s everything that I grew up loving about Third Day.
It’s acoustic and southern sounding and at the same time it rocks. The lyrics are simple (nothing profound), but that’s what has always made this band work. I don’t feel like they’re trying to be the biggest band ever, make a ton of money, or even please fans. They are simply trying to make new music that stretches them forward. Now, this doesn’t mean every song is a hit, but the overall feel of things is refreshing to me.
There…I said it. Maybe now I can sleep better at night.
If it helps…I still don’t like the new Lincoln Brewster album.
