I was a big Hillsong fan back around 10 years ago because I was stuck in a church that didn't move with the future of where church was going and I was desperate for anything new and different. At the same time I was a huge Passion fan and that was the road I ended up going down. After that I never went back and actually was a little shocked that I like Hillsongs. Then came United which I didn't get at first (I know, I'm an idiot), but now I really dig them! So, when I heard it was Hillsong I didn't even want to consider it. And even the first few times through I didn't like the Hillsong stuff, only the United. But it has grown on me and I love it - even though it is very over produced - but honestly what isn't these days? Some of my favorites that are not United: Here in My Life You are Faithful You are my Strength It's Hillsong, definitely - but I really like it. Oooooo Jeff, I love a good dissagreement!

It’s Hillsong, definitely – but I really like it.

There are only 2 upbeat songs on the album (the first 2) and one of them is a United song ("Break Free")! Most of the other songs are pretty weak - just covered up by excellent production. That being said, I just went to the Hillsong United Conference in Orlando and it was unreal. You've GOT to go next year!

Initially, I wasn't impressed. Its growing on me and their DVDs always captivate me. I just got finished rolling through the United video for All of the Above. Unfortunately, we only get 3 songs on that one :( Yeah I’m coming back around to it. Initially, I wasn’t impressed. Its growing on me and their DVDs always captivate me.
