Yes, their love certainly is--loud, that is. The Passion Worship Collective here assembles a potent plethora of powerful songs in praise of their chosen deity, in yet another in what is rapidly proving to be a cornucopia of worship albums. While most of the material on offer here has probably been better expressed in several books of the Old Testament, these simple songs of praise are a reflection of the simple faith practiced by exponents of the worship movement. Musically, styles vary from the anthemic rock of "Famous One" to the R&B-tinged "Psalm 126 (You Have Done Great Things)," with brief breaks for ballads such as "Come Thou Font" along the way. Thematically (and presumably theologically), however, the PWC treads a narrow path--OUR LOVE IS LOUD is worship all the way. minimize
