I was picking a Petra album to listen to yesterday, and went with On Fire. However, Beyond Belief is an amazing album, and I almost picked that one instead. Everything that Petra have done has been great, apart from God Fixation, which didn't work for me, and Double Take, which seemed to take alot of brilliant songs, and make them slightly worse.

I can’t believe nobody has mentioned All Hail the power by P.K. Mitchell yet! I’d also add Miracle Mile by Guardian, and Holy Soldier (self titled),. I’m sure I’ll think of more after I hit send though. Haha

Remember when P.K came in to this forum and asked what songs for AHTP 2?
I suggested, Up From The Grave, and he was interested in that. Unfortunately it didn't turn out to be used, but it was cool that he came here to ask.

...which also happens to be my LEAST favorite Theocracy album! (I still like it, but just like/love their other albums more!) I guess I gotta brush up on my classics...

I actually do remember that! That was really cool of him! Didn’t he also say he had to re-learn how to play metal for that album too??

The 20th anniversary mix was really good too! I really enjoyed the more polished production and sound quality.

Except for some volume adjustments, I couldn't tell a difference. I listen to the originals that I remastered myself.

I don't have Siloam in my collection. What am I missing out on? Are they really essentials to a Christian rocker's collection?

Their first album is an absolute necessity. Their second ain't too shabby, either.
Beyond that, stay far away from the rest of their releases if you could even find them.

I really want them now, but the cheapest I can find them is 30 bucks a CD, I don't spend that much on CDs I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for a cheaper copy (and listen to my bootleg mp3s of them in the meantime)

Agreed! (even though I haven't heard much from that 3rd album)

Retroactive has RM/reissued the first album twice - first time in 2019 on gold disc and vinyl and second time this year just a few months ago on digipak silver CD. And they have also RM/reissued the 2nd album in jewel case silver CD this year. They are both still available for normal prices from Boones and/or Girder. Girder's actually having a $12 sale on the 'Sweet Destiny' digipak at this time. One of my regular store checks still has a few new copies of the original 'Sweet Destiny' gold disc for $20 if you're wanting that rather than the digi version.
