The Washington-based CCM group continues to show that you can make explosive and fun-sounding praise music without using all the tacky sounds that have plagued the genre for the last 20+ years. Kings Kaleidoscope has always approached CCM from a significantly different angle than any other band in that they actually try to make expansive, if not experimental, pop music for even people like me to enjoy. The first half of this record is what you would come to expect from the band. Math pop and jazz rock instrumentation with sorting vocals keep you engaged from front to back. This even accumulates to 90s alternative rock throwback on ?Radiant Reason?. However, after the halfway mark this album dips into a lot of common CCM-isms that I haven?t really heard them ever do before. They try this more singer/songwriter approach that definitely does not work well for the band. I hope that in the future the band can keep on the path they have been building in the past because they really make some fun and jazzy pop music for all people to enjoy.

The band clearly has a tremendous amount of talent, but the songs just aren't hitting like they used to. The lyrics don't have the same depth as past albums and the instrumentation is full of effects without actually being memorable. You can see glimmers of greatness throughout, but too few are fully developed.
