Music reviews of Take Over
Music Review: Aaron's Amazing Third CD
Rating: 5 Stars
Since I've felt that Aaron Shust's first two releases were uneven, I wasn't sure what I would think of his latest release. I've been listening to it for a few days now, and I've got to say I love it.
Since Aaron is also a music pastor at a church, there is a high focus on worship songs. But they aren't always corporate worship songs, but more songs of individual worship. Some would certainly work in both settings. For example, disc opener "To God Alone" could easily become a worship song in contemporary church services. But the lyrics are actually a personal prayer to be used by God and give Him the glory no matter what. Think of it as a contemporary "Take My Life."
Really, I guess most of these songs would work in a corporate worship setting. Even so, "Live to Lose" and "Still You Love Me" seem very personal songs. I especially love the second one as it takes its themes from the reminder that God knows all our faults in Psalm 139, one of my favorite Psalms.
Most of the disc is the soft rock/pop that we've come to expect from Aaron. He changes things up enough to make the disc interesting to listen to. It's all piano and guitar based.
The big exception to that is "Come and Save Us." This is a driving rock song with screaming guitar. And I can't get enough of it.
"Stars Will Fall" is an interesting take on the familiar theme of God's power. The verses actually talk about times of struggle with little to no hope. But the chorus reminds us of the incredible power of the name of Jesus.
An early favorite is "Rest in the Arms." It's a simple melody with a powerful reminder that we can always depend on God.
But my favorite song on the disc by far is "Ever After." It's an upbeat pop song written from a parent to his or her child telling him that happy endings and Never Never Land aren't real. It doesn't come out and talk about God and Heaven, but it hints that our happy ending comes after this life. I absolutely love this song.
Ironically, the only song I'm not crazy about is the title song. "Take Over" is a great song of surrender, but the melody is too repetitive and boring.
If you don't normally buy physical discs any more, I highly recommend you make an exception for this one. The booklet that comes with it include some extensive thoughts on each song from Aaron and are well worth having.
All told, this is my favorite release from Aaron. I know I'll be enjoying it for a long time to come.
