Restart is the sixteenth studio album to be released by Newsboys which, if nothing else, is pretty damn inspiring to say the least,
because that is a lot of albums if you ask me, and they are still going strong.
I have to say that I was quite surprised
when I first listened to this record. The lyrics throughout the entire record
are spectacular; there are a ton of great lines to be found within each track.
The only downfall however was that the tracks seemed to be a little repetitive,
with that in mind though the musicality of the album is noteworthy. It is no
secret that Newsboys have slowly been moving toward a more pop/electronic sound
lately, but I’m sure nobody would have thought they would venture into the
region of dubstep.
This record has a mainstream dance music
feel to it, and most of the tracks have a great upbeat tempo that makes you
want to get up and dance. Dance music with a Christian message… It’s different
but I really enjoy it, there’s something unique and captivating about this
record.
Restart is
certainly a fitting title to this record and is a pleasant surprise from Newsboys.
The record sounds completely different to anything that they have ever put out
before, and yet despite that fact, it still feels right. Newsboys are
definitely moving in the right direction if you ask me.
I can only hope that this record manages to
infiltrate the mainstream music scene because as far as sound goes it fits the
bill, and every track manages to feel like a potential radio single.
I was pleasantly surprised by this record
and I’m sure many of you will be too, it’s the kind of record that you’ll find
yourself jamming to with your speakers turned up to full.
