Album Review
EMI Christian Music Group's compilation of "worship with an edge" capped a period of breakout growth for gospel's modern rock sub-genre. A handsome cross-section of artists contributed tracks including standard-bearer Switchfoot (although it's disappointing that the group didn't release anything newer than Spirit, which appeared seven years prior on Sparrow Records' "Listen Louder" sampler). The sounds targeted the 21-and-under crowd, leaning heavily toward variances of post-punk, nu-metal and emo. Only three ballads infiltrated the ranks -- the aforementioned Spirit, Thousand Foot Krutch's Breath You In, Showbread's Matthias Replaces Judas -- leaving the album with a high pace and impactful energy. Think Angels and Airwaves, Linkin Park, and Foo Fighters with uplifting lyrics -- a result for the most part rather enchanting. Tracks by Underoath and The Showdown tried a little too hard to push the boundaries of worship music with sudden mid-song breaks into incessant Pantera-esque screaming. Regardless, "X Worship 2006" is the pride of every Tony Hawk-era believer who has no intentions of "selling out" with lighter alternatives. ~ Jared Johnson, All Music Guide
