Certain albums are obvious landmarks in the history of Christian music. These are the times when vision meets talent in a divine appointment that produces a collection of songs that help define an artist's career: WhiteHeart's 'Freedom', Amy Grant's 'Lead Me On', dcTalk's 'Jesus Freak', and Michael W. Smith's 'Eye 2 Eye', among others. MercyMe's new release, 'Coming Up to Breathe', is one of those albums. Singer Bart Millard is pleased with the success of MercyMe's previous albums, but admits there's a special satisfaction in this one. "We've always joked about wanting to make our 'Freedom' or 'Lead Me On', and time will tell if that is ever the case," Millard says, "but we just gave it everything we had. There was no holding back on this record. Regardless of what you are going through in life, regardless of what you are consumed with, regardless of what fills up your everyday life, there are times you have to stop and surface and take a deep breath and remember what's important. That's what this album is for us. It's addressing everything we've gone through and realizing the one common denominator in all this is Jesus. That's what is worth taking a breath for."

Summary: Misses the mark
Comment: Mercy Me has always had a knack for writing good, catchy material. The underside is that their first couple of albums were pretty hit and miss. On "Spoken For," that problem was finally rectified: the band fully hit their stride with a quality masterpiece. I was incredibly eager for their next release, especially given all the hoopla surrounding it.
Sorry, "Coming Up to Breathe" is a disappointment. There are still a few likable songs, but the arrangements are cluttered and busy, the lead singer too often strays beyond a comfortable range, and the quality and interest-factor dip as the album goes along.
The upshot is that I still listen regularly to "Spoken For." "Coming Up to Breathe" on the other hand? Almost never.

Summary: Coming up to breathe
Comment: The Cd I ordered was in good condition, however the time it took for me to receive the item was past the time they gaurenteed it. Also I e-mailed the people as to where the item was and never got a response back. I would have to say that I will not want to do business with this company again.

Summary: Some tracks on this CD are awesome
Comment: Tracks 1 & 11 & 12 are the best tracks on this whole CD. The rest of the tracks are out place & dont fit to well with the tracks that are awesome.

Summary: A step above the rest
Comment: This is one of those albums that has the gift of longevity. Even good music wears out on you after a few months, but I keep coming back to MercyMe's Coming Up to Breathe time and again.
The lyrics are deep. Take this one from
* I'd die for you *
My life has never been this clear
Now I know the reason why I'm here
You never know why You're alive
Until you know what you would die for
I would die for You
* SOMETHING ABOUT YOU *
If I could speak the tongue of every man I'm still tongue-tied
What can I say about You
When everything I have won't do
Oh, it will not do
* WHERE I BELONG *
Everybody tries
To find the purpose for their life
In hopes that one more day is justified
But once you truly see
The very reason why you breathe
It becomes so much more than getting by
Well, I have arrived
And I can't keep this inside
An album you won't regret buying that will inspire you and uplift you when you're down. It builds the fighting spirit within.
