Third Day – Revelation

Description

Revelation is the ninth studio album by the American rock band Third Day, released on Essential Records in July 2008, a division of Brentwood Music, manufactured and distributed in the US by Provident Music Distribution. The album was recorded by Mike Plotnikoff at various studios in California – Bay 7 Studios in Valley Village, Entourage Studios in Hollywood, and Howard Benson’s home studio Sparky Dark Studio in Calabasas, California; with Howard Benson producing. Mixed by Chris Lord-Alge at Resonate Music in Burbank, California. Digital editing by Paul DeCarli.

The staccato riff that opens Third Day’s 11th studio album will feel very familiar to fans, as will the rhythm of Mac Powell’s husky vocal lines. The Atlanta veterans return after the departure of guitarist Brad Avery with a collection of distinctly recognisable tunes infused with a crisp edginess, especially on the rockier numbers. «Slow Down», «Run To You» and lead single «Call My Name» all have the feel of future staples in their live set. Powell sounds even more passionate than usual in his delivery and has effective collaborations with American Idol finalist Chris Daughtry and Flyleaf’s Lacey Mosely. Sonically the musicianship is typically impressive, with Tai Anderson’s bass lines having a more prominent level in the mix being of particular benefit to the texture of the sound, with only the pop feel of «Born Again» disappointing. The lyrics are designed to challenge your faith and give reassurance about God’s love for us. Thought-provoking and inspiring in equal measure, the newly slimmed down band deliver a quality record that all Third Day fans will enjoy, and should be investigated by anyone with even a passing interest in rock music. Drummer David Carr suggests that “This is a new statement of who Third Day is.” Discover just how powerful this new statement is for yourself. [Graeme Crawford, Cross Rhythms, July 2008]
