Editorial Reviews :
An impressive thread of praise and worship runs through the career of Michael W. Smith. After all, he's penned two of today's finest modern praise songs ('Great Is the Lord' and 'Agnus Dei'), and he was the creative genius behind Exodus, a brilliant collection of worship material. Yet that same artistic spirit seems sadly lacking on Worship, Smith's first solely praise and worship release. All parts are assembled, with Smith on vocals and keyboards, and an all-star choir of Amy Grant, Phillips, Craig & Dean, Chris Rice, Cindy Morgan, and others backing him on this live release. But outside of a few selected tracks ('Let It Rain' and 'Draw Me Close'), Worship falls flat. Smith's decision to cover the day's most popular praise songs and not focus on new material of his own weakens the record's impact. In fact, 'Purified,' one of two studio tracks on the release, was cowritten by Smith and his wife, and it's the CD's brightest moment. While Worship is not a forgettable release, it is, unfortunately, predictable.
Buyer Reviews :
It seems unbelievable to me that Smitty released this album on Sept. 11th. I listened once and believe that this may be Michael at his best. I have always loved his music. This album is much different than his others. For those who love worshipping our God you need to experience this CD. His love for God is ever present here. I find myself singing along with some of my favorite worship songs. His musical ability and depth are here. I would highly recommend this album to anyone. This album has parts that remind me of the Hosanna praise music at its best. For those heavy metal or electric guitar nuts stay away. Michael has shown us that worship in this time in our country can heal all those wounds. I hope Smitty continues to put out gems like this album.
