Music reviews of Newsboys Remixed
Music Review: Well-produced remixes of excellent songs
Rating: 5 Stars
I suppose I should start this review by telling you what Newsboys Remixed is not. It's not an album full of new songs--in fact, there's not a single new song on the album, which consists entirely of remixes of Newsboys songs. Likewise, this isn't a typical pop-rock album by Newsboys. If anything, it sounds more like techno. What this album is, then, is a series of new takes on well-known Newboys singles, each one of them well-crafted and thoroughly listenable.
These aren't subtle changes either. The remix of "It Is You" begins with a deep-voiced man singing, "Lord is my shepherd...he restores my soul". Not exactly what you heard on the original version of the track. In fact, you won't hear anything from the original "It Is You" until a minute and a half has passed. The entire album feels less like remakes of old songs than new songs which happen to borrow material from older songs. This is hardly a bad thing, though--as Newsboys broke from their old styles in albums like Love Liberty Disco and Step Up to the Microphone, so they do here, and the results are fascinating. Carefully interweaved synth parts, samples, and elements from the original songs produce tracks with excellent scope, equally entertaining when listening at rapt attention and when just popping the album in as background music.
The remixes hit a few bumps, unfortunately--in particular, the remixes of "Shine" and "Entertaining Angels", both famous songs that deserved better treatment. The remix of "Shine" makes use of a static-filled, almost dissonant sound, an interesting idea that unfortunately doesn't mesh at all with the original track. Maybe others will enjoy it, but I certainly didn't. "Entertaining Angels" is much more pleasing, but not bold enough. It sounds too much like the original track, without really adding anything.
This isn't an album to go to if you just want to get introduced to the Newsboys' sound--it's far too different from their other works--and it certainly isn't ideal for someone just looking for a typical pop-rock album, since the album's sound is far closer too techno than pop. But in Remixed the Newsboys have delivered an album full of great tracks, not only fun to listen to but really interesting in their variety of sounds. In my opinion, this is some of the Newsboys' best work.
