Many Petra fans dislike this album because there's new versions of the old Petra songs. These new versions are acoustic and that's why much more peaceful than the original ones. Only "The Coloring Song" and "Just Reach Out" are close to the original ones because they were peaceful when they were first made. I wouldn't say that this album is bad. I like the new versions of "Judas' Kiss", "Dance", "Beat the System", and "This Means War". Also the new songs "The Longing" and "Breathe In" are excellent! However, I dislike the last three songs..."Creed", "Praying Man" and "Just Reach Out" - they are not nearly as good as the original ones. "Just Reach Out" of course is close to the original one but something's missing. It's great to hear John Schlitt singing Greg X Volz songs "Judas' Kiss", "Beat the System", and "The Coloring Song". "Beyond Belief", "He Came, He Saw" are good versions too but I wouldn't say that this album is a classic. It's good for you if you like acoustic, peaceful versions.
Stars: Dance, Judas' Kiss, The Longing
