Music reviews of World of Sand + 2
Music Review: I love it!
Rating: 5 Stars
Bias: I grew up with the musicians and they are good friends of mine. My dad put the band together, and is featured briefly in the album.
That said, I love Servant. After all these years, they remain my favorite band. We were all part of a Jesus Movement commune, HMS. We didn't really have a lot of written theological texts. But after the Bible, the songs of Servant really became our systematic theology. Servant didn't just preach- they lived it. They toured constantly because they saw it as ministry. They didn't earn anything from their work, and the concerts were cheap or free, so that people could experience the music. It was the band who tore down and set up, following the mandate of their name. And there was so much theatre involved in their productions it spoiled all concerts afterward for me, as I discovered that most bands just played music!
"Two Masters" was classic Servant, suggesting that actually following what Christ says is quite a different thing from merely claiming His name. "New Revolution" is a rallying cry to joy that will inspire, and a haunting, bittersweet melody can be found in "Long Hard Fight". "Cheap Talk" uses the same theme as "Two Masters", but with stuttering inspiration that is a pleasure to listen to.
Something has always spoken to me through "Cog in the Wheel". It just seemed...so America.
"He had a number, no name,
And he was trapped in the game.
There had to be something more to living,
Then waiting to die."
Much of the money that supported our commune and allowed us to eat came from the treeplanters, who sacrificed their backs and hours of work for the good of the whole. "Treeplanter Stomp" is Servant's only instrumental, and an homage to them.
"Jungle Music" uses wit to preach against those who consider rock n'roll the devil's music- and there was a lot of them back in the day. It speaks of the fear that the naysayers have of those who aren't following Christ. My dad, Jim, and Bruce discuss the popular Christian groups of the day in a conversation at the end of the song.
And "Sudden Death" still makes me cry when I listen to it, the story of my brother Seth's death. It begins with conversation between Seth and my mom and a member of the community who would later die, and graphically takes you through the car accident, the anger of my mom at God, the loss of faith, and the beginnings of hope. I have always felt that Sudden Death doesn't end with that song, but you must continue to listen with the next song, "Come, Jesus, Come".

Description of World of Sand + 2
SERVANT "WORLD OF SAND" Building on the experience and success of their first two classic rock-n-roll albums, the band's third release hit the streets in 1982. WORLD OF SAND truly hit a nerve with the public, selling 20,000 albums in just the first two months alone! World of Sand combined Servant's muscular rock with a serious recording budget and major-league production. Offering up 10 polished rock tunes that sometimes hinted at the new wave direction the band would embrace on future albums. The Christian rock, apologetic 'Jungle Music' appeared on that album, complete with references to nearly all of the other Christian rock bands on the scene. The song poked fun at the critique still being lobbed by anti-rock preachers. The chorus chanted, 'Jungle music, can God really use it?' Their answer was a resounding yes. When the band toured the nation for this release, Christian rock icons, Petra were their opening act. 'Jungle Music'might be described as an eerie, haunting hard rock tune, with a message that hit as hard as the music. The quasi-metal sounding 'Cog In the Wheel' proves to be every bit as heavy as Resurrection Band, Aerosmith, and Led Zeppelin. The rest of the album features classic after classic of hook-filled rock and roll that fought the good fight against lukewarm Christianity. Ahead of it's time, WORLD OF SAND is a must purchase for fans of Cheap Trick, DeGarmo & Key, Joe English Band, Resurrection Band, and Petra.Christian & Gospel CDs
