The growth between Starfield's self-titled debut in 2004 through today is nothing short of astronomical and perhaps comes as a result of stepping down from major label life. The Kingdom marks the band's first ever indie release and also its most artistically ambitious—without the boundaries of radio formats and industry gatekeepers. The ten tracks are still accessible and anthemic, but the guitars have more crunch than usual and the harmonies follow equally unpredictable patterns. Message wise, Starfield blends modern worship with glimpses of members' personal journeys, but with a newfound sense of optimism and wonder.

I agree. Ever since this album came out, it's played nonstop in my car. The Neufeld brothers really pulled out all the stops on this album, and I can't wait to hear some of my favorites live. It's message is heartfelt and genuine, and the music is fun and a bit more edgy and indie than most Christian artists right now, and I've found myself sharing this album with Christian and unsaved friends equally.
