Your review is written quite well. I disagree with it, but that's ok. I like even the acoustic tracks as they do give a more intimate glimpse into John's heart. I can't think of a track on this that I don't like. As you can tell by my favorites list for 2012, I ranked it a lot higher on my list. I'd bump it up to an 80% at least if I were ranking this. Personally, I liked this album way more than the Classic Petra album. This sounds more like Petra SHOULD.

I think alldat summed it up for me too. I thought it was a great release and is in my top 3 of the year. To each his own.

Yeah, it is a great album. Definitley makes you wish for a new Petra album with him at the vocals. I honestly can't think of 1 song that I don't like. I will say this thou for producer choice, I would disagree slighty. If he is to hook up with a mainstream producer Erik Martensdon (I think the last name is wrong) from the melodic bands W.E.T. & Eclipse should handle it. He did wonders to Jimi Jamison (Survivor) new album.

I read your review Andy, and I gotta ask how do you think this album compares to John's previous solo albums?

I have to confess to not being much of a fan of John's solo work. I had his first two solo albums and disliked them so much I traded them away (never got his third), but I thought this latest album was the best solo album he has done (yes I kept this one).

album he has done (yes I kept this one).

Good question- I have heard certain songs or portions of songs off the first two albums but have never owned either of the three or listened to them in their entirety. I have heard good things about the first two so perhaps I need to pick them up and give them a try.

Also, my favorite John Schlitt album is the self-titled Project Damage Control release- seriously considering putting together a review.

I think all of John's releases are worthy of getting except for the one that was all CCM ballads. I passed on that one. The other three are great as long as you aren't expecting a Petra clone. The newest is the closest thing to that sound, though.

I dunno, maybe you loved Petra with John and don't like them with Greg, and a John Schlitt solo album that sounds like a rocking Petra disc is the best you can do.....or maybe not. Laughing

To be honest, I feel that a lot of Petra fans were expecting John's solo stuff to sound exactly as his material with the band sounded. They wanted a second helping of Petra. There are a lot of similarities, but John also has a slight style difference. Personally, if I can't get Petra with John, his new solo disc is just as good. Actually, I love all of these and in this order:


The Greater Cause
Shake
Unfit For Swine

I'm glad John has showed to have an own style, maybe different then when he was in Petra.

I've to check out some samples of his solo stuff.

I got Shake for $2 at a thrift shop around here. Pretty good, although it's a typical solo album (to me) with several ballads and a few hard-hitters with experimental stuff. Wake The Dead is a great tune, though.
