The early work of Sounds Like Reign was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when the album King Jesus came out, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole record has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. It’s an undisputed masterpiece.
Is He Worthy is a song so catchy, most people probably don’t listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it’s not just about the pleasures of conformity and the importance of trends. It’s also a personal statement about the band itself.
