Yes I love this CD. Especially great are song #3 and #7. Our radio stations have been playing Sweetly Broken for months and it's very popular. It is a great song. But I have to say that I love song #3 even more. It's my favorite song right now. This song is about awe of God in worship. It's about His grace. The musical tambre and vocal qualities express broken, humble and passionate intensity that is rare. It's a GREAT song.
I first heard this song #3 Stand in Awe at a conference in California. I was sent a free copy of this cd (cuz I'm a pastor I guess) and I started listening to it. Between the conference (where Jeremy led it live) and this cd I have been blessed over and over.
We keep this cd in our car right now and are listening to it on the way to the church office every day....and I've found that I can listen to Stand in Awe three times in a row and want to hear it again (am I hooked or what?). I don't like any of the other songs nearly as well, but most of them are really good. I just don't listen to a lot of worship songs repeatedly...but this one I can't get enough of right now.
FWIW-I studied music at Wheaton Conservatory of Music for a year before switching to pastoral training in college. I think I do have a good ear for musical quality..and Riddle has a raw and humble quality to his vocals that really fit well with worship music. I give this cd a five star.
