An overlooked album of great fun worship
I bought this along with Matt Redman's Beautiful News and Brenton Brown's Everlasting God, and this album got the most frequent play time. Something about it -- the energy, the atmosphere, the simple yet powerful words -- caught me instantly. Much of the recent worship has either been too complicated or too generic to pull at the heart, but this album managed to touch on both spiritual and musical avenues. Worship can only go in so many directions, and since it's made for simplicity, there can be only so many variations of the G and E chord progressions. Desperation Band makes the best of it with interesting guitar riffs, a DJ, an emotional piano, and a well-produced keyboard. You can also feel the spiritual energy on this album, as though you are there in the moment amidst the crowd in their spiritual high. While the youth will enjoy this album the most, adults might enjoy or at least appreciate what's offered here. The album starts right out the gate with three fast songs: "Freedom Song," which has a strong chorus but a weak bridge, "The Difference," a fun and offbeat clapper, and "Promises," an almost-pop-song that is the best of the three. Then "Ready Now" slows things down with a moving verse and chorus and an incredible bridge. The title song, "Who You Are," is the second best song of the album. It begins slow and uncertain but slowly builds to a rousing bridge, that while totally unoriginal is still worthy of raising hands. "Endlessly" is undoubtedly the strongest song on the album -- its simplicity in both melody and lyrics makes it perfect for worship, and its energy and steady direction are both lifting and contemplative. "Chasing" and "Refuse to Be Denied" close the album on a somber note that addresses the strength of our divine relationship. Bottom line -- If you're looking for the one album for your youth ministry that will re-ignite the praise section, this is it. While not as scripture-based as Matt Redman, as catchy as Chris Tomlin, or as original as David Crowder, this is an energetic album with all the right elements combining into an effective and solid worship project.

Worthy Purchase
Great job guys. Another amazing CD with power. Absolutely love "Who You Are" and "Endlessly". Too bad you cannot sample the songs on Amazon. It is refreashing to hear top notch music with the times and a message to convey to this generation.

Awesome!
This CD is absolutely incredible! I'm so impressed with John, Jared and Glenn. God is using them big time!

Wow!
I heard this album before I ever attended a Desperation conference and at the time I wasn't very impressed. And then I attended the conference...WOW!!! I don't know what it is about the conference but it causes the songs to really make since. Every song is a simply incredible worship experience. My personal favorites are "Ready Now" and "Who You Are" (and luckily these two songs are right next to each other).

Incredible Worship
This CD is amazing and really should put Desperation on the map. Songs like "Who You Are" and "Ready Now" need to be on repeat everywhere you go. The DVD that comes with it is great and insightful into their songs and what they are about. Pick it up and listen through it a couple of times. I think you will really enjoy it-
