Music reviews of Kingdom of ComfortMusic Review: Another great release from a severly overlooked band (4.5)
"Kingdom Of Comfort" is a very deceptive title for this record. It is anything but comfortable. The subject matter is hot off the grittle: How can we be comfortable with our affluent lifestyles while millions of people suffer in abject poverty? Not exactly easy listening. But it's what Delirious needed to say. And they say it with muscle and grace in equal measures. There's blistering rock (some of these songs are easily the heaviest rockers in their entire catalog i.e. "Give What You've Got," "Stare The Monster Down" and "Break The Silence"),a tense and moody title track that seethes with discontent, a latin groove in "Eagle Rider," and the arena rock that has been their bread and butter ("Wonder", "God Is Smiling.") And as always there is hope and grace ("Love Will Find A Way" and "We Give You Praise.") The per-album U2 comparisons will continue as much of KOC draws from the nervous, yet youthful energy of that Irish band's first three or four records. Perhaps overshadowed by the U2 influence are the Muse and Radiohead influences that have popped up over the last couple records. Martin Smith just keeps improving vocally with each new batch of songs, and between Mission Bell and KOC(and I'm not kidding here) he has at least reached if not surpassed Bono in quality and expression. He should be on everyone's list of top vocalists. Really. The rest of the band continues to craft top-notch songs. Stu G. and co. are much more vitriolic and visceral this time than on the leisurely paced and blissfully textured Mission Bell. This is not a bad thing considering the album's theme. The worship thread is still in tact, but buried beneath a layer of honest questions about social justice and everyday realities. Kingdom of Comfort is a contender to be remembered as the D:boys' best record. It is not an easy listen, but it is very rewarding. It will challenge you to your core. It will force you to get off the couch. It is a call to action; a violent slap in the face to Christian complacency and mediocrity. Just what the doctor ordered.
