Style: Modern worship; compare to Chris Tomlin, Hillsong United, Delirious

Top tracks: "White Flag," "All This Glory," "10,000 Reasons," "Not Ashamed"

What began as an underground, college-friendly conference just over a decade ago has since become an internationally recognized worship movement, but Passion's heart to craft reverent and relevant praise remains the same. The latest installment features all the usual suspects (Chris Tomlin, David Crowder Band, Matt Redman, Christy Nockels, Kristian Stanfill and Charlie Hall), culled from solo and collaborative performances before 42,000 college students in January in Atlanta. It's a tightly performed blend of electronic rock, Brit pop, and booming ballads that work well with a congregation, though the calmer cuts could just as comfortably accompany personal prayer time.

I was so excited to get this album. Over the years, Passion has given us a mixed bag of releases. The past few years, the releases have been solid with tracks that definitely become church anthems. That being said, this album is somewhat disappointing (which pains me to say). I like listening to an album all the way through before deciding whether the album goes on my portable music device (lol) or just certain songs. Unfortunately, so far I've found none of the songs to be particularly impactful. Even 10,000 Reasons (which is a favourite of mine) fell... somewhat flat. I'm hoping that this album grows on me somehow...
