This is by far the darkest Christian album I've ever heard. David Eugene Edwards (Sixteen Horsepower) may say "hallelujah," but his music speaks of the conviction of a man who knows hell. After you hear the ominous Mediterranean tongues epic "Slota Prow-Full Armour," you will know it too. Mosaic ain't no Sunday school picnic. There is more to be had than a theology lesson. With hints of strings, banjo, and piano, this is a shining exploration of post-folk power. I'm not a big God fan, so the lyrics can go a little over-the-top for me, like on the Eternal Creator Of The World-written "Twig," but the dense, motivated, moody music produced by Edwards is more than enjoyable in its own right. Any karmic deity would be done proud by this album.
