Pretty Good Album, Just Not Their Best.......2006-10-20

Petra was coming off the sensational "Beyond Belief", an album that had moved them back to the forefront of Christian rock; this album seemed to be a bit less ambitious but was still filled with quality songs. Petra's ability to weave new and unique songs about faith were in clear evidence here. My personal favorites are the mature "I Need To Hear From You" and the quirky, dance rock styled "Dance", a song with a message of faith that doesn't sound unlike The Killers. While its predecessor and "Praise 2" are better places to look for a first impression of Petra, you wouldn't go wrong by giving this album a thorough listen.

One of their best.......2006-09-08

I actually prefer this album over 'Beyond Belief'. It's more experimental, a little more personal in focus (look at songs like 'I need to hear from You', 'Dance' and 'Hey World' for instance). There are a few missteps however -- "Sight Unseen" and "Secret Weapon" sound far too similiar and their pace is a little slow. Also, 'In THe Likeness of You" used to bore me to tears, though now I appreciate the sentiment behind it.

There are other really good solid songs, however. Opener 'Destiny' is a fun rocker. Indeed, the two opening songs (on the cassette version) 'Dance' on side two and 'Destiny' on side one are the two best songs on the album. "Who's on the Lord's Side" is fun, albeit different for the band. "Hand on My heart" sounds like it could be a Motown lovesong (but it's really about God) and "Ready willing and able" is just a fun, driving song.

Indeed, the good songs on this album are good enough that they propel this album to a 5-star status. Too bad this album was a little too rushed, because otherwise the two missteps could have become two really good songs instead.

Oh well, this album still rocks and has my favourite song 'Dance' off it. This is the song that originally got me hooked on Petra's music.

preach it brotha!!!!!!!!!.......2006-01-21

Smokey Robinson would be halted in his tracks.......2004-05-29

First I am weary of trying to identify which of the John Schlitt era Petra albums (CD) are my favorite. They all are! They capture the Arean Rock era sound with unmasked praise of the almighty God. No veiled lyrics here. Second there seems to be no confining this group, just when you settle in to the Arena Rock groove they let you have it with a song that I think would even halt Smokey Robinson in his tracks. I'm sure even He would have to be impressed with "Hand On My Heart" If it says Petra and John Schlitt somewhere on the jacket - buy it! Unseen Power is another killer work from these guys.

Incredible work.......2004-03-11

Petra has been a Christian rock standard for a long, long time now, and I believe that their peak was reached with the release of their "Beyond Belief" album. This should not overshadow the work put out on the two albums before "Beyond Belief" or the two albums which followed "Beyond Belief", this one being the fitst to follow that album.

"Unseen Power" cranks it up a little more on some of the songs, and a little less on the others, but the overall power is there. The band has always had a very beautifully polished sound, and this album is a perfect example of that. Great solo work by Bob Hartman, killer drums by Louis Weaver, slap your face bass by one of the most under-rated bass players of our time, Mr. Ronnie Cates, sweet keys by another monster musician, John Lawry, and finally, the voice that sets the standard for rock artists, John Schlitt are all present and accounted for on this album.

The wierdest part of this album is the inclusion of the psuedo-doo-wap song "Hand on my Heart", though if you listen closely, Schlitt's voice starts to really get cranking around the bridge.

All of the other tunes rock big time, especially "Destiny", "Ready, Willing and Able", and "Dance".

Over-all a phenominal album. Taken into account by itself, without comparing it with "Beyond Belief", that is, this album is a commercial hard-rock masterpiece.
