| I really enjoyed this album. This is the first review I have written. It is amazing how God works. The message in this album was exactly what I needed. It was refreshing. To the band I say -- Great job and continue following the path God leads you down. I am looking forward to the next album. God Bless! |
The UK-based, RIAA Certified Gold-selling, globally relevant band Delirious? returns with
their eleventh studio album, Kingdom of Comfort, set to release April 1, 2008 on Sparrow
Records. Its first new studio album since the acclaimed 2005 release, Mission Bell,
Delirious?’s Kingdom of Comfort questions everything, from cancer to consumerism, “five
star” dreams to slums and poverty. It is an album that calls for sacrifice, social justice and
love.
As delirious? Started preparing for this album they found themselves asking “what are we
doing?” Are we building a kingdom of comfort? Or, are we building a kingdom of heaven?
Their message was made very clear on the first track of this album. The song starts
saying “SAVE ME, SAVE ME, FROM THE KINGDOM OF COMFORT WHERE “I” AM KING.
It goes on to say PULL ME OUT, PLEASE GRAB MY HAND. I JUST FORGOT WHERE I
CAME FROM.” This was refreshing to me knowing that I am not the only one that
struggles. Everyone lives in a kingdom of comfort where they are king, but we must ask
God to save us, save us from the kingdom where I am king to the kingdom where YOU are
king.
The most recurring theme of this album seems to be to stop trying to do things on you
own. Without God nothing is possible, but with God ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE. This
seems to be generic point but in a lot of today’s music this point isn’t as forward as it is in
this album. It really challenged me to think about my relationship and walk with God. In
this day and time we often think we have all the answers. This album helped me realize
what I have struggled with for quite a while, our Lord God has ALL the answers. All we
have to do it step out of our kingdom of comfort and allow God to be in control.
This album was traditional Delirious? with one exception. This album seemed to be more
guitar driven and less of a string/orchestra or classical sound. It was nice to hear a little bit
of a different sound out of the band while keeping the message and their focus on God the
same.
On a bit of sad news, this will be Stew’s final album with the band. Stew has been the
drummer for the band since their conception. Stew has been praying and listening to
God. He could play with Delirious? forever but God has different plans for him, I guess you
can say he is stepping out of his kingdom of comfort. Stew will still be actively involved with
ministry in his church for the last 20 years, Arun Community Church. Stew says “thank you
to all of you around the world that have not only sung the songs but are decided to a life of
being true ‘History Makers.’ I am deeply proud to have been a part of this moment in
history.”
