Music reviews of Broken & Beautiful
Music Review: A little disappointing
Rating: 3 Stars
I have to admit that I feel a bit let down by "Broken & Beautiful", which is sad since I had been looking forward to this CD for a couple months. I don't think the quality of it is too far below Mark's previous works, but his signature pop-piano is missing and that's one of my favorite aspects of his music. The variety of songs is great, as usual, as is Mark's incredibly distinctive voice, but it seems a bit too much like the majority of contemporary christian music being offered up. The distinctive sound I've come to love gets a bit lost in the guitar. Perhaps I should have seen it coming when I saw him with Phillips, Craig & Dean in August and he performed my favorite song of his, "You Are A Child of Mine" not from behind the keyboard but with an acoustic guitar in hand. I also found the title of the song "Until I See You Again" odd and a bit misleading as it also happens to be the name of the song Mark wrote and recorded with Jim Brickman for Jim's Greatest Hits record.
Please don't let this deter your purchase of "Broken & Beautiful" though, especially if you are as big a fan of Mark as I am. It is definitely a departure from his norm, but it is certainly not a bad effort. True, I was expecting something different and a bit more familiar, but after a few listens it's definitely growing on me. My favorites are the title track which always has me singing along loudly (and quite badly) by the end and I was overjoyed to finally hear the completed version of "He's Walking Her Home". Perhaps the closest thing to what I would consider "classic Mark Schultz" would be the ballad version of "Until I See You Again", which is stunning. I do miss the prevelance of the piano, since that is what hooked me on his music way back when "I Am The Way" was first released on the radio, but I applaud him for branching out and trying something new. It's a valiant effort, but falls a bit short in my book. Perhaps that is because I was anticipating something else, though.
I would recommend "Stories & Songs" first and foremost to anyone looking to try him out. It's an awesome representation of what he can do, with an impressive array of styles displayed. Next to "Mark Schultz Live", "Broken & Beautiful" is probably my least favorite but still definitely worth checking out.
