Not long ago, it was unfashionable for music fans to admit they liked Kutless, but now that the band’s been in business over a decade, they’re hitting their stride. Believer blends a more mature edition of the group’s modern rock beginnings with more recent worship musings (though this batch is all originals), resulting in both gritty anthems and crisply-crafted, gradually intensifying ballads. Not every track ties up in a neat bow as the band grapples with topics like suffering and terminal illness, but they also remind listeners to raise their hands in praise no matter the season.
