The first album
released after departing
,
is slyly diverse. Even within its first three tracks,
moves from the assured pop of "The Only One" toward the swinging country of "Little White Church House," winding up with the soulful "Jesus Saved Me (When I Could Not Save Myself)" -- three different styles that suggest the range on the record.
revisits some of these moods later in the record, particularly the old-fashioned gospel and R&B, but often
splits the difference between AAA pop that sounds a bit like
and arena rock that sounds vaguely like
. It's skilled, slick, and open-hearted, with the latter leading
toward the diversity that makes this a solid modern inspirational record. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine
