Seventh Day Slumber has been a Christian rock band I’ve enjoyed since I first heard
“Caroline”, “I Believe” and “Oceans From The Rain” from their BEC Recordings debut
album “Once Upon A Shattered Life” in 2005. They kicked it up a notch with the rock
in “Finally Awake” in 2007, and I listen to “Missing Pages” and “Undone” regularly. All
of their songs have a worship component so it is natural for them to release a worship
album, “Take Everything” on March 10, 2009. The first thing that caught my eye about
the album was the song titles of familiar and amazing worship songs of the past decade.
In fact, the best comparison is to fellow BEC artist Kutless and how they recorded
worship songs and a few Kutless originals on “Strong Tower” in 2005.
“Take Everything” is a very strong collection of 9 great worship songs by Chris Tomlin
(“How Great Is Our God” and “Famous One”), Hillsong (“Mighty To Save”, “From The
Inside Out”, and “Lead Me To The Cross”), Brenton Brown (“Everlasting God”), Matt
Redman (“Nothing But The Blood”), Vineyard Worship (“Surrender”) and the all-time
classic “I Can Only Imagine” by MercyMe. The songs are newly recorded with the rock
styling of Seventh Day Slumber and in my opinion includes 5 of the top 50 songs of the
decade: “Mighty To Save”, “How Great Is Our God”, “Everlasting God”, “From The
Inside Out” and “I Can Only Imagine”. The versions of all of the classic worship songs
are well made and sung with passion by Joseph Rojas. Personally, I prefer the Hillsong
United version of “Lead Me To The Cross” sung by Brooke Fraser and the original
Brenton Brown version of “Everlasting God”, however the versions of “Surrender” and
“Nothing But The Blood” are amazing and add to the original recordings.
There are also 3 original Seventh Day Slumber worship songs including 2 brand new
songs “Take Everything” and “Carry Me”, which are both great and uplifting songs. The
closing song “Oceans From The Rain” is a stripped down recording of the hit song from
“Once Upon A Shattered Life” and is a great way to close out a very fun collection of
some of the greatest hits in worship of the decade.
Closing Thoughts:
Take Everything is a great companion album to Strong Tower by Kutless and a must-
have for any fan of Seventh Day Slumber.
