Album Review: Worship Again

Review

Certain artists were born to perform praise & worship; Michael W. Smith is one of those. Offering his second consecutive worship disc in a row, Smith has assembled a collection of songs that take the listener on a spiritual journey. Veering away from some of the more traditional praise & worship songs, Smith shines on cuts like "Lord Have Mercy" and "I Can Hear Your Voice" while the more well-known numbers like "Step by Step" and "You Are Holy" are emotionally delivered as well. While Worship Again doesn't necessarily break any new ground, it is tenderly delivered and utilizes the talents of Smith well. ~ Steven Douglas Losey, All Music Guide
