Decent, solid effort.......2006-09-05

This is a decent, solid effort from long-lasting Christian rock band Petra. The sound is more current and 'with the times', and although the pacing and songs are a little more mellow for the most part, the update in sound is a welcome change from the overly 80's song that the band kept up for most of the 90s (with the exception of Wake-up Call, most of Petra Praise 2, and this album).

Don't get me wrong, Petra was great in the 80s and released a lot of good albums, but it was about time they changed and sounded more current. They just could have rocked a bit harder, that's all.

Still a solid effort though.

Petra never cease to amaze me by how they change the sound on every record they produce. And these songs are as good as Bob's first highest on Wake Up Call. The choruses on this album though are some of the most in your face that he has ever done and I love these kind of songs. John Schlitt is still in very good form, although probably not as high as i thought he would be but still awesome! The songs on this album are all so differnt in sound. That is why I love the album so much. None of the songs sound like each other which is brilliant! THIS ALBUM HAS INSIGHT, PASSION, BEATY AND SINGABLE SONGS THAT WILL MAKE YOU THINK FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE. My fav song is "Shadow Of A Doubt", my second favourite petra song ever.

The best of the post Hartman/Lawry & Gates albums.......2002-04-18

This is by far their best album since the core players that gave us "Fired Up" through "Wake Up Call" left. Hartman seems more focused as a song writer and gives us some inspired messages to take to heart.

Though we would see more personnel changes after this album, Hartman writing, Weaver setting the time and Schlitt belting out the songs like only he can, have helped to keep the Petra boat on course through all the changes in direction.

One of their weaker efforts.......2001-07-13

I have been listening to Petra since the Yahweh Love days, and first saw them tour on the Not of This World album. Over the years the band evolved, as my musical taste did, towards harder and harder rock. I still really enjoy both the old Petra and the "new" Petra, and feel, as most do, that Beyond Belief is one of the greatest rock albums of all time. BUT...what happened on this one? I know that there was a major line-up change, but not since Volz left the group has the music changed this much. What happened to the rock, guys? A few of the tracks still sound like the Petra I expect, but the rest is mishmash of pop and alternative rock that sounds like a completely different band. Even Schlitt's vocals are not nearly as powerful, as he does not have much to work with. I love Petra, but I will have to preview the next album before considering buying it.
