Louder Than The Music5/5 [12]

Reviewing for Louder Than The Music, Jono Davies gave a positive review of the album, saying: "The beauty of music is that it can speak to us no matter how we are feeling, some albums can speak to us if we are in the best place or not such a great place, some albums can encourage us to worship, some encourage us to jump up and down, some encourage us to step out to change the world, some deal with injustice, some albums change us, some albums change our soul and our heart and I don't think I'm wrong in saying this, but this album does all of that. The album really takes you on a journey, emotionally and musically." [12]
