Hillsong United
The I Heart Revolution: With Hearts As One

Product Description
Best-selling worship band Hillsong UNITED is back with a new project to help spread their encouraging message of The I Heart Revolution. This 2 CD release is made up of 28 Hillsong United favorite songs recorded live over the last few years as the band shared compassion and love to people in North America, South America, Africa, Europe, Asia and Australia.

Review
The I Heart Revolution may not be the newest contemporary worship album, but it has proven itself as the standard which I compare all other contemporary worship to.  The massive set list that is compiled over various parts of their world tour to create this album defines the kind of power that can be found in worship and praise.  Much like a U2 concert the audience must be given as much credit as the band themselves for the amazing experience that can only be found when thousands of people are united in lifting up his name.  The variety of songs found here can be played practically anywhere.  Often I will find myself truly worshiping in the workplace while these tunes play in the background of a busy day.  Powerful songs, like Shout Unto God, were meant to be sung as loudly as possible while cruising down the road or going for a run.  Others such as All I Need is You and From the Inside Out, will make you fight to hold in your emotions as you realize how true the lyrics are.



Recommendation
This 2-Disc set has been out a while and you should be able to find it at a decent price.  With 28 tracks there is something for everyone.  The track listing covers numerous themes and tempos.  I would absolutely recommend this album to anyone.  It is perfect for those who have not found a way into the contemporary worship scene.  I promise, let both discs play through all they way and I assure you that you will be moved regardless of your musical preferences.  For those familiar with modern praise and worship, if you don't have this already, pick it up - it's basically a greatest hits CD.  This album has encouraged me to sing louder and prouder than I ever have at church - I hope it does the same for you.
