Full Review: David Crowder Band – Remedy

“Remedy” is a step in a different direction than the band had been headed. Not so much in terms of songs but more in terms of the overall style of the record. Fans of the band should be satisfied with the content and new fans should be drawn in by what the new album has to offer. Simple as that.

The lead single “Everything Glorious” begins with acoustic picking, distorted drums and those hints electronic noises. The song progresses through the verse and immediately brightens for the chorus which, although simple, flows out and will draw you in. “O, For A Thousand Tongues…” is a song which David Crowder shines in his ability to use unique melodies that captures your imagination. The song is a masked celtic (feeling) hymn during the verses and blooms in the chorus combining traditional and contemporary styles into one song. The excellent production which has become a staple for the David Crowder Band is alive and well with the latest release, if not more. I could go on and on about the other songs and the beauty they paint but I’ll let you discover those.

There are only a few things I don’t like about the record and most are probably nitpicky. The first would be the song “Can You Feel It?” which is the only song that I cannot get into and don’t really care for.

This is neither here or there but “Remedy” is a different type of record for the band. They usually includes interludes, and 14+ tracks, “Remedy” on the other hand is about as standard as you can get though with only 10 tracks.

I enjoy 90% of “Remedy” and think most people will as well (if not more). I do wish there would have been more songs but at the same time I can’t necessarily hold that against the band. Not much more to say, except it is worth your ten bucks.
