This album is what's wrong with mainstream contemporary Christian music. Despite a couple genuinely good lyrical moments on "Slow Fade" and "East to West," there's no musical content that goes anywhere close to being outside of Casting Crowns's relatively small musical realm. It's a retread of what's been done before, which on its own merits a poor rating. However, the fact that the band felt the need to place a couple of covers towards the back end of the album shows how unnecessary this album is as a whole and drags the quality down a lot, as they feel completely devoid of effort.
