| Misses the mark |
| Mercy Me has always had a knack for writing good, catchy material. The underside is that their first couple of albums were pretty hit and miss. On "Spoken For," that problem was finally rectified: the band fully hit their stride with a quality masterpiece. I was incredibly eager for their next release, especially given all the hoopla surrounding it.
Sorry, "Coming Up to Breathe" is a disappointment. There are still a few likable songs, but the arrangements are cluttered and busy, the lead singer too often strays beyond a comfortable range, and the quality and interest-factor dip as the album goes along. The upshot is that I still listen regularly to "Spoken For." "Coming Up to Breathe" on the other hand? Almost never. |
| TD's Shoutout! |
| This is another MM hit! Very real and life changing songs on each of their cd's. |
| Coming up to breathe |
| The Cd I ordered was in good condition, however the time it took for me to receive the item was past the time they gaurenteed it. Also I e-mailed the people as to where the item was and never got a response back. I would have to say that I will not want to do business with this company again. |
| Some tracks on this CD are awesome |
| Tracks 1 & 11 & 12 are the best tracks on this whole CD. The rest of the tracks are out place & dont fit to well with the tracks that are awesome. |
| A step above the rest |
| This is one of those albums that has the gift of longevity. Even good music wears out on you after a few months, but I keep coming back to MercyMe's Coming Up to Breathe time and again.
The lyrics are deep. Take this one from * I'd die for you * My life has never been this clear Now I know the reason why I'm here You never know why You're alive Until you know what you would die for I would die for You * SOMETHING ABOUT YOU * If I could speak the tongue of every man I'm still tongue-tied What can I say about You When everything I have won't do Oh, it will not do * WHERE I BELONG * Everybody tries To find the purpose for their life In hopes that one more day is justified But once you truly see The very reason why you breathe It becomes so much more than getting by Well, I have arrived And I can't keep this inside An album you won't regret buying that will inspire you and uplift you when you're down. It builds the fighting spirit within. |
