Recommended for 4/6/10 - Newsboys - Love, Liberty, Disco (1999)
Ah, yes. The Newsboys. The lovable Aussies from down-under that have been making music for over 20 years now. I'm in the midst of writing reviews on their entire catalog and this is one of their albums that stick out in my mind the most, if not for quality, but uniqueness. But that's not to say there isn't some quality tracks here, such as the title cut, "Beautiful Sound" (perhaps some of the deepest lyrics the Newsboys ever wrote), "Everyone's Someone", and "I Surrender All". It's certainly different than all of their albums were prior (and since), but different doesn't always equal bad. While I'd recommend picking up Take Me To Your Leader or Step Up To The Microphone for a potential fan, this is definitely a great album to own, for Newsboys junkies and casual fans alike.
