Music Review: The Best 80s Pop/Rock Band You Never Heard?
Rating: 4 Stars
Admittedly, top-40 rock isn't my scene; but this album, along with 1982's World of Sand and 1984's Light Manuevers, surely proves that program directors were playing whatever the corporate titans shoved down their throats instead of seeking out fresh, new bands in 1983. A track like "Thank God" may not have mass appeal, but take a listen to "Burning Bridges", "Fallout", "Heart to Heart", or "Can't Go Back" and tell me that it didn't belong in heavy rotation next to 1983 hit-makers like Journey, Duran Duran, and Kenny Loggins. Sadly, Servant remained trapped in the CCM ghetto and their music never made it far beyond "Christian" book stores.
Still, maybe that's all for the best. If you like 80s pop music but want to hear something that hasn't been blaring at you in elevators for 25 years, Caught in the Act of Loving Him might be just the thing. The sound quality isn't perfect, but it's surprisingly good for an indie release of the period. And let me allay your fears about the lyrics: this isn't preachy Christian propaganda, it's well-crafted pop that even us open-minded "non-believers" can enjoy.
One other word of praise for this CD re-release: Retroactive Records didn't cheap out on the liner notes. Full lyrics, as well as a short history of the band, are included.

Description of Caught in the Act of Loving Him
Servant's fourth album originally burst onto the scene in 1983, with ten new studio cuts released on the band's own Rooftop Records. With their first three albums delighting headbangers world-wide, CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF LOVING HIM showcased a Spransy-influenced new-wave feel that also embraced the arena rock sound Servant was known for. This new-wave feel would eventually take over the band's 5th and 6th albums (Light Maneuvers & Swimming In a Human Ocean). Undoubtedly, CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF LOVING HIM set new standards for quality Christian rock that could stand up next to the best the mainstream rock world had to offer. Ultimately, blissful power pop made Servant's CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF LOVING HIM one of the defining albums of its era, as well as one of the most influential. Servant proved to be masters at devoting themselves to the power of the hook, as well as sheer volume and gut-wrenching rock roll. Bruce Wright's hook-laden guitar playing was capable of miracles, and you'll find examples of that on virtually every cut. With pop thrills a-plenty, CAUGHT... offers an invigorating blast of feedback, muscular riffs, anthemic hooks, and powerful vocals with keyboards and beat that don't let up. From start to finish, CAUGHT...is a relentless rocker, a great album that has outlasted its era. Fans can proudly file this release next to The Cars, Cheap Trick, Duran Duran, Petra, and early 77's. Yes, it's THAT good!
