A good cd with songs that grow on you more and more and \"hooks\" that stay in your brain all day long.

Chris is the man behind the band, and does almost everything, which is why this album deserves a 5 star rating. Alot of these songs really grow on you over time. Here's how I rate each song..... Surrender - 9/10 Love the lyrics, the passion and the music from start to finish. Especially love the guitars on this song. Brilliant track. Give In To Him - 8/10 Great chorus here. The lyrics are very thought provoking 'cause it's something that's very hard to do, as we often try and do things on our own and not let the Spirit lead. Nice rhythm to this song too. Man Overboard - 7/10 Good song here, not my favourite style, but still has a thumping good beat to it. I Will Worship You - 8/10 This is a worship song, and could quite easily be sung in any church! It's also very rememberable (is that a word). Not as fast and furious as the first 3 songs, but there's nothing wrong with that! It's a worship song, after all! Nice guitar solo on it too. He's Been Good To Me - 8/10 Back to rocking again! This is another great hard rock song, almost as good as Surrender, I'd Do It All Again and The End (I should give it 8.5 really). Real driving rock! Wind down the windows and turn it up to 11! Be Yourself - 8/10 Kinda punk sound at the start, there are some kind of vague 'Matrix' sounds going on there - maybe I'm the only one who can hear that...... It's another fine track. Are You Listening - 8/10 A bit more mellow again, and a very honest song (obviously written from the heart). This one has bags of passion in it, and Chris' vocals work really well with the style. The End - 9/10 Reminds me of Bride's Hired Gun. This is another highlight on the album. Chris' vocals hit the mark full on here! I'd Do It All Again - 9/10 Another great track. Thumping bass and lyrics top notch. I Fall Down - 9/10 Another worship song. This one will have your foot tapping (well it did mine anyway), and a nice closing song for the album. I generally either like a heavy metal slab of a song to end an album, or a softer hard rock ballad - and Chris has a hard rock ballad that works on all levels. And what better way to end an album than singing "Holy Is The Lamb" and "I want to worship You" All in all, it's by far Chris' best album (in my opinion) and has enough diversity to keep most rock and metal heads happy for weeks and months to come.

This new Mission Of One album is a killer. I am very impressed that this "one man band" has released a killer album. What I like to this album is are the different music styles. That makes this album exciting to listen too. It's a gift to write the very bold lyrics of those songs, to play bass. To do a very good job on guitar and the vocals. "Nuff now, you really have to check this CD out. It rocks.!!!
