About

One of the finest Christian rock albums of all time, Steve Taylor’s gleeful, one-of-a-kind second LP is imagination run amok—driving rock married to sleek synth beats and overt New Wave influences, mimicking everything from futuristic rockabilly to Devo’s goofy robotics. The lyrics find Taylor turning his trademark wit to everything from institutional racism to human rights violations; his sharp takedowns of Christian hypocrisy are balanced by a genuine passion for gospel truth. A fun and thought-provoking collection.
