Rebecca St. James - God

Few have burst onto the Christian music scene with such raw honesty and edgy appeal as Rebecca St. James. With 1996's God, this young Australian went from unknown to spokesperson for a generation. The title track, along with the irresistible "Me Without You" and "Go and Sin No More," were all CCM No. 1 hits. And rightfully so! The title track uniquely alternates a pastoral melody with acoustic guitar and flute while St. James belts out the chorus with urgency and desire. Musically, the rest features moody atmospherics, hook-laden guitar riffs, and St. James's nontraditional yet strong vocals. An artist worth paying attention to, St. James could easily take her place among the Lilith Fair crowd with little apology for her message. --Michael Lyttle Amazon.com

She's the Voice!

I have to say that when I for the first time heard the song "God" I was amazed! Such a great song and such a great singer with great message! This album is like a Christian answer to Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill", only much better! This whole album is basically same kind of Christian rock and it's working for me! Rebecca has such a great voice and her voice is superb! The album has much more to give than "God" - "You're the Voice", "Go And Sin No More", "You Then Me", and "Me Without You" for exapmple. "Speak to Me", "That's Waht Matters", and "A Cold Heart Turns" are such great peaceful songs! Rebecca has proved that she has a perfect voice to sing both peaceful and heavy songs!

One of my First Christian Albums

I grew up listening to my parent's Christian music, which was Bill Gaither and started listening to secular music when I became a teenager. Rebecca St. James' music has definitely changed my taste in music. She is one of my favorite Christian artists. This album is one of my favorite amongst others like Newsboys and Jars of Clay. Having grown up listening to Gospel this has been great because it sounds secular, but the lyrics are Christian and I love the sound of contemporary Christian music because it reaches out to those who like the popular music out there that don't send a positive message that Rebecca St. James and Newsboys are sending. I enjoy listening to all of her albums, and cannot wait to attend any of her concerts because I have read rave reviews of her concerts. I also love the message she is sending about waiting to have sex until after marriage. She is a positive role model to our teens today. March 7, 2006

One of my favorite albums - Christian or not

I listen to both Christian and non-Christian rock and this album is one of the best albums I own and is, without question, Rebecca St. James' best effort to date.

There are 11 tracks on the album (Track 10 is extended and contains a 'hidden' track) and all but 2 are exceptional. The lyrics are well-crafted, uplifted and powerful. The music goes hand-in-hand - paired perfectly to give the lyrics the most impact. From time to time, when I'm feeling low, this album is a great pick-me-up and a reminder about the wonders of God, faith and forgiveness. June 10, 2005

Great Album

I have had this album for several years and never tire of it. It has beautiful vocals, solid lyrics, and an overall great sound. If you are a Rebecca fan, but don't have this album, I would highly recommend it. If you are unfamiliar with her music, this is a collection that you will likely enjoy a lot. April 12, 2005
