Hillsong United has at long last released their Live Version album for 2007! I trully enjoyed All of the Above, though it was Studio recorded. So it was with great anticipation when I got my hands on In A Valley By The Sea! (yeah a mouthful!)I was rather disappointed that it was not a Full CD, it was just an EP*. There was only 7 songs recorded live and .. i was like .. why ler?
Was even more disappointed when i popped the CD into the player and cranked up the volume!!! As typical Hillsong United live recordings, there was lots of Electric Guitar, the beat was rather heavy and "grunchy" and the songs were always a little more heavy than the average Hillsong album! Was disappointed cos i didn't enjoy listening to any of the seven songs being played on the player! I was like .. huh? Is that it? How come nothing catchy wan?
That was almost a week ago. Today ... i decided to re-pop in the CD into the player again!! The song that jumped out at me was Break Free. If you heard the version from All of the Above .. you would have found it mild!! This time it really rocked! Yes yes.. the songs finally started to sink in .. and I started to enjoy the songs.
The other song that I now enjoy is Song 4 .. called Second Chance!! Try and get your hands on this EP CD and listen to them as they enter into WORSHIP with these songs! :)

EP = Extended play (EP) is the name typically given to CDs which contain more music than a single, but are too short to qualify as albums. Usually, an EP has around 10–25 minutes of music, a single has up to 10 minutes and an album has 25–80 minutes.

Hi Sembah,
Just to let you know that it's not a full album, it's an EP (Extended Player - just short of a full album) by the so-called "Next Generation" United guys - all of them were ages 21 and under and Joel Houston asked them to write their own songs and record it at the Youth Group's Summer Camp at the start of the year.
The United guys recorded a new album in October, so look out for it next year probably around February - March.
