CD Review: Third Day - Move

There was some big talk about the latest Third Day album, which made me very keen to check it out. They are a band I like to listen to with an open mind, because there are times I love them and times I don’t love them so much.

During my first listen, I had pretty much the same reaction as I do when listening to any of their albums for the first time…I got bored. After such an incredible performance on their tour earlier this year, I really expected something a little more creative and mind-blowing to make it’s way onto the album.

Now I’m not saying it’s totally rubbish – I am a critic after all! I think that the hard-core Third Day fans will find that Move has a powerful sound and some faultless production to its advantage.
And now I feel bad – like I should say something else good. Umm – the album art is great – a real eye-catcher.

Okay, seriously – their lyrics are prayerful, which really attracts you to the album, and it really does grow on you. I was checking out a sale in a bookshop recently and could hear Mac Powell’s distinctive voice…to find myself actually enjoying what Move has to offer.
