Music reviews of Shine: The Hits
Music Review: This one hits the spot
Rating: 4 Stars
When a band is as good as Newsboys, you really don't need a "greatest hits" CD. I usually only purchase a "greatest hits" CD from a musician or band for whom I wouldn't bother getting a whole CD -- for fear of only enjoying half of it (and sometimes even less). So instead I often look for a "greatest hits" or compilation CD. But NOT ASHAMED, GOING PUBLIC, and TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER are three of the very best Christian rock albums ever made available. With the fewest of exceptions, Newsboys' music is a tremendous joy to listen to.
And speaking of joy, the three new songs are thoroughly enjoyable as well -- "Joy" not being least among them. "Praises" is an exceptional praise song as well as a lively Christian rock staple. "Who" begs the classic apologetics' questions and answers with typical Newsboys wit.
My only disappointments with SHINE: THE HITS are few. But they begin with the inclusion of "Woohoo" from STEP UP TO THE MICROPHONE. "Woohoo" is just not a good song. From the STEP UP album, "Deep End" or "Hallelujah" would have been much better choices. Also "God is Not a Secret" was one of the best songs from TAKE ME TO YOUR LEADER". Having Toby Mac perform guest vocals on that song does it no justice whatsoever. Newsboys' and DC Talk's sounds are radically different from each other. Lastly, "I Got Your Number" is an enjoyable classic from the old, old days of the Newsboys. I would have preferred "Kingdom Man". But they're both pretty good songs.
All in all, SHINE: THE HITS is a great compilation CD for both the die-hard Newsboys fan as well as the casual listener. But I suppose that could be said of almost all Newsboys CDs.
Description of Shine: The Hits
Eight releases, 14 No. 1 radio hits, top reputation as a live act--not bad work if you can get it. That's what the Newsboys have accomplished in 14 years, and the scope and breadth of their success is documented well on this 17-track hits collection. In songs like "Shine," "Take Me to Your Leader," "Spirit Thing," and "Step Up to the Microphone," the Newsboys magically melded a modern pop beat with a strong, spirit-filled message. The end results were endearing radio hits that sounded fresh, vibrant, and nonapologetic for their religious zeal. And that explains why these lads from Australia garner such a buzz in the Christian pop world. The Newsboys never met a pop hook they didn't like, a fact all too apparent when listening to this collection. But they do it so well. Longtime Newsboys fans will appreciate the remake of "God Is Not a Secret," featuring a blistering rap from DC Talk's Toby McKeehan. Three new tracks--"Joy," "Praises," and "Who?"--give listeners a hint of what's to come. --Michael LyttleChristian Alternative CDs
