With Casting Crowns' third studio outing, THE ALTAR AND THE DOOR, the Georgia-based Christian rock group reinforces its status as one of CCM's premiere acts. Led by passionate vocalist (and pastor) Mark Hall, the band specializes in accessible anthems that clearly address spiritual devotion, most notably on the amped-up opener, "What This World Needs," and the thoughtful piano ballad "East to West."
Expectations ran sky-high for Casting Crowns' third studio album following a couple of years as Contemporary Christian Music's best-selling and most-played artist. The looming question wasn't whether lead singer and songwriter Mark Hall would drastically change his formula -- that was doubtful after the group's first two albums were certified Platinum faster than any other artist in CCM history (Jars of Clay was the only other group to accomplish the feat). The question for fans was whether or not the runaway success would change the band's heart. Casting Crowns rose to prominence due to Hall's "painful but true" storytelling of the Christian condition and his comforting calls to reform. The Alter and the Door picked up where Lifesong left off, this time with a slightly greater dose of rock. This time around, songs centered on the disconnect between the faith believers feel during worship and the doubt that plagues them during the rigors of daily life. In other words, how to overcome the spirit being willing but the flesh being weak. Where former albums drew their strength from ballads and AC pop, Alter gave the world upbeat rock classics. The first three tracks showcase more grunge guitar than could be heard on all of Lifesong. "What This World Needs" is a tense, fast-paced rocker that opens the album with the same urgency as Jars of Clay's "Work." "Every Man" and "Slow Fade" also draw on mature rock themes. The band still offers a handful of its signature ballads, reaching a pinnacle on "The World Is Alive" and "I Know You're There." Casting Crowns gave fans no reason to be disappointed on Alter, and anyone living under a rock who was unfamiliar with the band at the time of its release would find little to dispel the group's reign among CCM artists. ~ Jared Johnson

. . . L O O K I N G B A C K There was a mile of dirt road leading to a five room shack in the backwoods of Redmond. Five kids all spaced one year apart. The first year was without electricity or running water. It was 1958 when we moved to Redmond from Duval. A fire station next to a main highway now stands where our house was. The place where that old dirt road ended is now the city of Sammamish. As kids we would to walk down the centerline of the highway four miles to Pine Lake to keep our bare feet cool from the pavement. It's four lanes now. Each time I go back to look it's changed into a different place. Much of my growing up happened in this house in the woods. . . . H E R E N O W . . . The music is about things I see that don't seem to change much, a moment taken from time and frozen in a song. Mostly my view of the world around me, put into words that I hope will touch others.F A C I N G F O R W A R D . . . I try not to force what is in store for me. Life run solely on self-will can hardly be a success. I trust my inspirations as direction. What used to be an occasional inspiration has become a working part of life.*Review As written in "Victory Music Review"Michael Merrifield: Butterfly Keepwww.michaelmerrifield.comMany months ago, Michael sent off a CD he'd recorded of his songs to reviewers. His life had a few triumphs in it after some very difficult years, and there was a certain sense of celebration in pursuing his desire to be a singer-songwriter. The CD, though, was a diamond in the rough. It needed the distance and objectivity a producer can provide, and the support of one or two accomplished musicians. That, in fact, is what this reviewer had to say about it and Michael, responding to the review, laid low for a time, healing a few wounds. Then he went about creating his CD once again, this time calling on none other than Orville Johnson to provide various ...
