Music reviews of While I'm Waiting
Music Review: An Old Title but New Songs
Rating: 4 Stars
I almost bypassed John Waller's second CD because of the title. I recognized it right away from his enjoyable first release. Fortunately, I stopped to look at the tracks and saw there was plenty of new material here.
But let's start with the old. "While I'm Waiting" has become huge because it was on the soundtrack for Fireproof. It is included here sounding identical to how it sounded on the first release. I'll admit it does bug me when an artist does that. I can almost understand it in this case since it has become a hit in the last two years. Anyway, the song itself is great. The final track is a mix of that song including dialogue from the movie. It's skip able in my opinion, but maybe I'll feel differently if I ever get a chance to see the movie.
Now, let's move on to the other 10 tracks here. He's kept the same pop/rock sound. He gets most rocking on "Our God Reigns Here," but is appropriately quiet on "Perfect Peace." Heck, there's even a slight hint of country on "Cling to the Call" (although that might just be me).
Lyrically, he touches on such topics as dying to self ("Dead Man Walking"), the search for God ("Quest"), and the wonder of Jesus humbling himself for us ("Of All the Places").
There are two songs I absolutely love. "Faith is Living" reminds us of our call to put our faith in God at all times. It does admit the struggles with doubt which I must admit I have more than I should.
Equally honest is "Cling to the Call." Written at a time of struggle, it contrasts past victories with current defeat while resolving to cling to Jesus to get us through.
Unfortunately, there are some moments of the trite and cliche that he struggled with before. "House of God" and "Dead Man Walking" are really nothing new. One says that God's house is his people, while the second uses Colossians as its chorus. As much as I enjoy "Our God Reigns Here," I'm a little uncomfortable with the second verse which seems to be approaching Charismatic territory for this Baptist boy.
So no, this still isn't a perfect release. However, it does have some strong songs on it I will be enjoying for some time to come.
