BRENTOWOOD, TN. (Sparrow Records) - Congratulations to Delirious, Something Like Silas, and Chris Tomlin, who have delivered three of the Top 12 Favorite Worship Albums of 2004 according to
ChristianMusicToday.com.
'Selections are based on quality of songwriting and arrangements, practicality of music in various settings, and achievements in production and performance,' the highly regarded site explains.
About WORLD SERVICE, the most acclaimed Delirious release since its historic 1997 debut, ChristianMusicToday.com comments, 'Would any list of the year's finest worship albums be complete without the latest from Delirious? This band has remained true to its worshipful roots while alternating between congregational and creative albums. WORLD SERVICE offers a little bit of both, returning to anthemic sing-alongs that characterized Delirious' CUTTING EDGE days while also offering the aggressive U2-styled modern rock heard on their more recent albums. 'Rain Down' and 'Grace Like A River' both have readily recognizable choruses, and 'Majesty (Here I Am)' is an instant prayerful classic.'

Digging into DIVING INVITATION, the debut from San Diego's Something Like Silas, ChristianMusicToday.com proclaims, 'Something Like Silas is the coolest band to enter the worship scene since Rock 'n' Roll Worship Circus. Blending the atmospherics of The Violet Burning with the energy of David Crowder Band and some Delirious for good measure, this band manages to create an arty sound that is still accessible ear candy. Lyrically, SLS is adept at making the listener think and feel and they give praise to the Lord…a terrific alternative worship album.'
Something Like Silas is on tour now with David Crowder Band and Shawn McDonald. For a full list of concert dates, go to SomethingLikeSilas.com.
ChristianMusicToday.com says of Chris Tomlin, 'Any new worship director looking for songs to launch a modern worship service should probably start with this guy.' The site describes Tomlin's chart-storming new set, ARRIVING, as, 'simple songs of praise driven by unbelievably catchy melodies that people can learn to sing instantly in a corporate setting. The album also doubles as an enjoyable pop/rock experience, but this goes beyond a single recording. Tomlin's songs will endure in the Church for a long, long time.'
Chris Tomlin starts the All Things New Tour with Steven Curtis Chapman and Casting Crowns on October 21. Learn more at ChrisTomlin.com.
