Listening to the new Newsboys album Born Again on Rhapsody (you can listen to it free a few times through there too, or listen to it free all this week here). I like it pretty well! I'd say it's more reminiscent of Michael Tait's "solo artist" band called Tait that other stuff that Newsboys have released. I like it, in exactly the same way I like the Tait CDs - I'll spin it quite a few times, but it won't likely ever be a top-50 favorite. It lacks some of the color and quirkiness that historically have been present on Newsboys CDs, but it's very polished, very well-done pop-rock.

The cover of DC Talk's song "Jesus Freak" featuring KJ-52 on the rap part is pretty smokin', though! KJ brings a pretty aggressive rap style to the song!

(For the record… these songs are going to SMOKE live!)
