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.”
Closing Thoughts:
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!
