Steve Taylor & The Perfect Foil – Goliath

goliathYou have probably read the hype on this album, so why should I review this album again? Because it really is that great, and some of you cynical music diehards out there might need one more gushing review to win you over. I would never, ever gush in a review, but to call this album a great record is an understatement. To be honest, I wasn’t quite sure about this album based on the singles that were released before it came out. They were good, but worthy of the collaborators that came together to make them? I was on the fence. But listening to the whole product from beginning to end kicked me in the teeth and knocked me flat off that fence. When I came to, I was on the convinced side. So what does that mean to those still sitting on the fence? This works as an album. Once you get this as an album, even the individual songs will sound like they work better as a single. And come on – it’s Steve Taylor, Jimmy Abegg, John Mark Painter, and Pete Furler. Right, I know fans of the first three might be suspicious of the last one, but I think he’s kind of proven himself over the past few years to those that never got into the Newsboys. This has all of the wit, satire, quirk, and rock that you would come to expect from this combination of artists. So set the jaded cynicism aside (there is a Mumford & Sons album coming out soon that is probably more deserving of it, anyways) and give this one a spin.
