Zeal is so good!

 

Ooo, I need to give it a listen. I wasn't too keen on the first two singles but hopefully as a whole it hits me in the perfect way.

 

Kings Kaleidoscope always takes a couple listens to really sink in, but first listen to this is so so good. Can’t wait to keep digging in.

 

Uhhhh yeah this album is so good

 

Interesting to see A Little Bit of Faith as the closer.. that song was underwhelming. Excited to check this out at work though!

 

Yea, this is amazing all round.

 

I’m only on track four and wow this is amazing!! Hero Over My Head is already one of my favs

 

YES. I love it more now than I did then. I think it's a masterpiece.

 

I didn't care for the second half on my first listen, but I love it all now. The way the themes and sounds change over the course of the album is incredible.

Also, I got to interview the singer Chad this morning! That'll be on the podcast this Wednesday

Once or twice a year, I attempt to write and record an album in a day. The past six times, I've tried to make big and full productions, but I always capped out at 6 or fewer songs in 24 hours. This time, I restricted myself to just acoustic songs, and I finished the day with eleven songs! The file above has them all bounced in a single track, for ease's sake. (Both mine and yours.) Here's the breakdown:

Album-in-a-Day Project, Volume 7
Written & Recorded on April 4, 2019
Song 1 - 0:00 - Work Together (pop/rock, 2:15am)
Song 2 - 3:44 - Two Ghosts (indie folk/pop, 4:54am)
Song 3 - 7:24 - Shock My Ears (pop/rock, 6:26am)
Song 4 - 10:05 - Wings Not Made to Fly (narrative rock, 9:42am)
Song 5 - 14:59 - Design Team Song (workplace comedy, 10:02am)
Song 6 - 16:32 - Search for Myself (pop, 1:18pm)
Song 7 - 19:52 - Settled in the Unsettled (folk/americana, 3:23pm)
Song 8 - 23:16 - From Throne to Throne (alt metal/narrative rock, 5:44pm)
Song 9 - 28:08 - Three/Four (experimental pop, 8:58pm)
Song 10 - 32:14 - Four/Four (experimental pop, 10:18pm)
Song 11 - 34:22 - Heart Reset (indie folk/pop, 11:59pm)

I'm posting this in a few threads (shameless self-promotion), but since I'm here, I'll mention -- it's been interesting to see how directly Christianity plays into these really quickly written songs whenever I attempt the album-in-a-day. For example, when I did it this past June (volume 6), everything was directly spiritual, singing Jesus' name, with one or two songs that could nearly be worship tunes. On yesterday's, the whole effort took a strong spiritual turn for tracks 6 through 8, which incidentally are also some of my favorites from the album.

(Also, some of you were here for my recent conversion to Switchfoot, and they definitely had an influence on these songs. I felt like I ripped them off strongly at least once, towards the end of track 4.)

 

New Facedown band:

 

Just have to say Zeal is has definitely become one of my AOTY frontrunners. Can't get over how alive it is.

 

Seriously. Just goes to show how talented these guys are! What are some of your favs from Zeal?

 

Aimless Knight right now. Incredible.

 

Ditto on Aimless Knight

About To Break is a blast too, and I love how A Little Bit of Faith resolves the musical tension in Hero Over My Head

 

Zeal is really good. I think think I like Beauty and Becoming better right now. But this one stands in its own really well.

 

That’s funny. Beyond Control is probably my favorite (at least until now). All their stuff is so consistent.

 

Yeah this one and Beyond Control are my two favorites and the other 2 are still solid but aren’t things I go back to often

 

I can't believe we're getting a new Newsboys album w/ Furler and Joel. May have to pick one up...

 

I like Beyond Control. But it never clicked with me like the other two did.

 

Facedown is really branching out into new genres lately. Song is pretty catchy, not sure how I feel about it overall.
