FIRE Strange song titles
All That Is Within Me - MercyMe
Excellent musicianship and songwriting. Thought provoking lyrics. Strong Christian message may put off those not "in faith". A little samey.

The opening and ending songs are brilliant Very samey, not a particularly surprising album

Great production and some strong tracks Some repetitive and boring songs, inconsistant

Ten solid songs. Vocals may not suit everyone.
